We are hearing
reports of small fish been bait balled then a smash occurs and the question is
what fish is doing this? We think this is Kob as opposed to Garrick, the reason
being is at this time of the year the bigger Kob come into the estuarine system,
some of which have been caught making size 60cm. One of the ways to get into
the action is use a lure that mimics the size of the fish in the bait ball and
retrieve through the bait ball, this should produce an “on Dad”. If you cast a
live bait into the ball give the bait slack so it can swim up into it. There
have been some big smashes reported in the mouth area we suspect that to be
Garrick no harm in targeting them by throwing a mullet in a channel next to a
sand bank choose the side the tide is washing over.
Surf.
Been a great
week for night fishing targeting Kob in particular, last night we were a group
of 12 fishing was slow and the Kob seem to have stayed over the bank and when I
packed up they had not come over like they did earlier in the week, I was not
able to get over the bank and needless to say I blanked. The guys and Lady that
did get over the bank managed to get a fish each with 2 baits been lost to
Sharks. The only bit of excitement I had was retrieving a line that had snapped
during a cast earlier in the evening. There was some baits out for a Raggie but
like the Kob they were shy and not committed to a bait, we intend to put this
right as a group of us are going back to the banks on Saturday afternoon
leaving from the shop at 3pm, some guys are doing an all-nighter however this
man is going home to sleep. The tides this weekend look good for early morning
and evening sessions.
Ski Boat
While
conditions were good there appears not to much boat fishing took place however
the morning sessions over the weekend look like a good opportunity, we know
there are Tuna about as we saw them off the beach. A bottoms competition is in
the planning as well as the Ski Boat VS Rock and Surf Garrick Competition, 2
upcoming events to look forward 2 in the coming months.
Next events.
