Fishing Report 10 May 2021
Weather for the Week.
Big seas continue in the beginning of
the week and as the weather improves towards the weekend the sea settles.
Lagoon
Currently the water level of the
lagoon is high and the water is very discoloured after all the rain we had over
the weekend however some rats and mice are still feeding. Marius while fishing
last week caught a bus of a diamond using a Silago as live bait with a Shad
wire trace, the Diamond clocked in at 71kg, rod was a 7Ft Poseidon with a tiny
grinder. They used the boat to chase the
fish and after about 45min he landed it on a sand bank using his hands in its
mouth which is the correct way to handle flat fish, gaffing will probably kill
it due to the wound getting an infection or it gets predated on.
Surf
When we fish we often get pecker bites
and we wonder what the peckers are, one way to find out is tie a number 5 hook
on a short piece of line to your main hook and don’t put bait on it, very often
you will catch a baby Snubnose or Longfin Pompano. Gerhard got this one fishing
comp on Saturday morning, needless to say it did not count and back to the
water it went. Not many fish were caught over the weekend with the biggest fish
reported from the main beach was Neil with a Milky of 40cm and Prof with a Blacktip
Shark of approximately 15kg
Ski boat
The spin the wheel is now sitting
at around 40K as it was not won on Saturday. We have no reports of boats going
out however conditions look good for the latter half of the week.
