Lagoon
The water in the lagoon is the
cleanest it has been in a long time so much so that the Algae in the area of
River Land Estate has grown into lo0ng strands that hinder both bait and artificial
fishing, I am told the cause of this is the light is penetrating deeper into
the water, so far the areas in the car parks are not affected. Fish for Kob
from late afternoon till into the evening and fish for them as you would in the
surf zone, they like big baits.
Surf
There are reports of Garrick activity
during the weekend however none seem to have been landed however in the
evenings the big Kob move into the surf zone and a feeding on Chokka based
baits and live Mullet. If you don’t have a boat to go to the mouth area to get
Mullet drive around to Shangri La beach net there and fish the channel from the
North Bank, failing that head to the Banks or south of the swimming beach. For
those that like catching Pompanos they were very active over the weekend.
Coming up to the long weekend the tides are getting better each day for an
afternoon into the evening session. Don’t be surprised if you get picked up by
a Diamond, another monster was landed in front of the Siyayi last week, target
them they are not as plentiful as in the summer but they are still here.
Ski boat
Several boats went out today and
judging by the weather they are probably still out there, nothing to report
yet.
Next events.
We still have fresh Sard in stock
