Lagoon
Rather hit and miss for some while others reported good
caches of River Bream ie over 1kg specimens, I saw a picture of 5 on one boat.
River Snapper and Diamonds were also boated together with the odd Pickhandle Barracuda.
Most of the fish were caught on Sard, Prawn and live bait. Most of the action
was happening towards the N2 and mouth area while the car park area was very
quiet. Some guys were spending the weekend here and fishing in the lagoon when
one of the youngsters got his foot cut by something in the water, please be
careful and when shoes when wading or playing in the lagoon, unfortunately glass
and other sharp objects have found their way into the water, particularly in
the public areas.
Surf
Diamonds Shad and Snapper Kob were the most targeted or
caught fish however in between lots of little Spinner, Black Tip and Hammer Head
Sharks were keeping anglers busy, I Quote one of my informers” Shot for Shot
the guys up and down the beach were into something”, this was both Saturday and
Sunday morning, some guys were throwing fish back as they had enough, Port
Dunford and Amatikulu were the same let’s hope the fish stick around till Christmas.
Some of my informants who were up for the weekend flew some Snapper Kob out as
live bait with a drone, both were taxed behind the head, the debate is whether
they should have used 2 hooks or 1. They managed several species of fish over
both days.
Ski boat
Nanook went out over the weekend to High Point and on the
way managed to get 2 Dorado of about 8kg some other boats launched in the bay
but at the time of going to press we have had no feedback.
