Fishing Report 23 October 2020
Weather for the Weekend.
Hot and windy with a window early
Sunday morning before the wind changes direction.
Lagoon
During the past week fishing was good
and active with a lot of fish caught, one Angler bagged 3 River Snapper of a
decent size and the following day his son got a Diamond of just over a meter,
this kept the lad busy for quite a while, they managed to manoeuvre the Diamond
to the side where they unhooked it took a pic and released it into the water.
Anglers are reporting they are getting some decent pulls fishing in the main
car park but aren’t succeeding to set the hooks, we think the reason is that
the hooks are too small so if this is happening to you go to a 2/0 hook and a bigger bait, tight lines.
Surf
Yet another unusual catch was made in
our local waters this time it was a Concertina fish and not a bad size at all,
these fish are normally caught in this area from Ski Boats but are known to
come into shallow waters even into estuaries. Chaps there are a lot of baby
Shad attacking bait after bait please lob them back, however the Snapper Kob
are feeding in those same spots but so are the baby Spinners, Milkies and
Hammers. Please clean up before you leave or you will be asked to do so and
remember driving on the beach is not just a fine, you also get a criminal
record so is it worth it.
Ski boat
The shore fishing has picked up so let’s
hope that happens out at sea, Sunday morning looks the better day but the
period is short and the barometer is very low. Please don’t forget tomorrow is
the AGM at the club starting at 10am followed by a bring and braai.
