Fishing Report 14 December 2021
Weather for the Week.
This week looks to be a bit windy with
rain on Thursday and Friday afternoon.
Lagoon
Firstly the sad news is the club decided
to cancel the family day fishing comp on the lagoon, the father Christmas and
the evening party due to Covid been in the increase. Barry caught a honeycomb
ray at the steel bridge at low tide, note he does not flip it on its back to
get the hook out as that will damage its internal organs. Fishing shallow or
close to the edge with small baits will give kids hours of fun as the baby fish
feed and hide closer to the bank, for the adults fish like that and see how
many species you can catch in a session 10 plus will not be unusual.
Surf
Travis was fishing the banks on
Saturday and caught 3 different fish in a short time a sandy (photo bombed by
Gayson) a java and a nice mat (diamond) further to the north Willem got a
decent shad and at last Rudi got a fish it was a brown skate we suspect it was because
Michelle was not there otherwise she would have got it. The shad and snapper
cob are still been caught in the area of the main beach and yesterday afternoon
a big diamond came out on the main beach.
Ski boat
Chris went out on Believer and got his
first Dorado, well done. The boats fishing close to land are still getting
snoek, Sarel from Kiru (who does the local charters) got some fishing right in front
of the main beach and reported he lost a few as he could not set the hooks , they
bite “skelm” sometimes and other days they follow the lure to the boat but don’t
take it. Stephan was out for a few hrs doing bottom fish, they got some
snappers and slingers but the other fish were shy, maybe they waiting for the
holiday makers.
News from the Shop
We are now stocking what they call “Gourmet
“ice i.e. the ice that does not melt before you add coke. Please note we moved
across the road to Village Square.
