Fishing Report 21 December 2021
Weather for the Week.
Things are not looking bad for surf
fishing as we have had a lot of North wind and tomorrow is going to be nice and
hot.
Lagoon
Wesley never stops pulling surprises,
yesterday using the drift bait tactic on the outgoing tide caught a morph
grunter ( Javelin grunter) of 2.5kg’s
this is a first for the river as we normally only catch juveniles he
also caught some decent size spotted grunter. During the week a kob was caught
with what looks like a coke tin around the back of its head, you can see buy
the photo it was on for a long time, Mark cut it off and released the fish and
it swam off
Surf
Diamonds are coming out, I know of 2
today so far 1 on main beach (58kg on 30lb braid) and the other I have no
details but it was witnessed at Doggies. Something I learnt this week is we often
catch what we call lessor sand sharks but they are not, they are lessor giant
guitar fish and they can be distinguished by their spots it blue grey or yellow
spots. Port Dunford is still producing big kob from time to time and he fish
are very active there. Snapper cob and shad are been caught but not so many
small sharks except at the Banks where they seem to be plenty full.
Ski boat
Hannes on his boat brought back a big
kob the other day, unfortunately I cannot scroll on the watsup to find it,
bottom fishing has been slow lately with the main catches been squaretail kob
and slinger. Paige and Cheron who fish off Nanook have both got tagging kits for
pelagic and bill fish as well as for sharks and are starting a tagging program,
we will be following their progress as I believe they are the first in the club
to partake in research with the above mentioned type of fish.
News from the Shop
Fresh
Mac’s and small Bonnies should be here early this afternoon.
