Lagoon
Yesterday an Angler reported the whereabouts of 2 poaching
boats, the parks board reacted immediately to the information and the boats
were recovered. They were checking licences at the lagoon yesterday, they still
have jurisdiction at the lagoon but not the beach, and we have to rely on good
old DAFF to do this. Yesterday it was like a River Bream Smash at the lagoon
with reports coming in of that been the most common species of fish caught.
Remember the King Fish are very active this time of year as well as the
Pickhandle Barracuda. The smallest fish reported been caught was a Thorn Fish “not
much bigger than the bait”. The River Bream were so active they were biting
chucks of the live bait, they always seem to miss the hook and bite the fish
off at the opposite side.
Surf
After all the rain from Friday night till Sunday morning the
weather settled to allow for a good day fishing yesterday, young Michael headed
for the Banks to do some scratching and was rewarded with a nice Catface
Rockcod, a big Shad and some small sharks, these little fellas were also down
at the main beach and so were Kob but just not making size. There was someone
droning and by the time my informant left the beach they had not hooked into
anything bigger than what was been caught on throw bait, I hope there luck
changed. Look at the weather forecast for this week, Wednesday and Thursday are
going to be good days for Diamonds and swim bait. Places to fish will be the
hole to the North of the Old Ramp and the Port Dunford stretch although the
Banks have been quiet one should not discount that area.
Ski boat
Kevin and Nic took a gamble that the break in the
weather would hold and it did, they went out and reports are the conditions
were good, clean water and millions of Sprats all over the place and this could
be why they could not entice game fish to the hook. Good catches of Morph
Grunter and Squaretail Kob were made. Well done chaps.
Next events.
We have an 8 sleeper house (can sleep 10 as it has 2 double
beds) should a group want to hire it, it is self-catering with ample bait
storage space.
