Fishing Report 12 January 2022
Weather for the Week.
Today raining like mad first thing
however it does stop and for the next few days we have winds changing direction
every few hours however the weekend sees
the North winds returning.
Lagoon
Young Logan caught a moony the other
day and this reminds me of when I was a youngster I used to spend hrs catching
these pretty little fish unbeknown to me at the time the reason I was catching
them is they tend to be top feeders and therefore to increase your chances of catching
them the best way to catch them is with a float and a short bite trace, no 5
hook with a bit of prawn bait. Lots of catches of river bream, pickhandles and
grunters are been reported sardine and lures seem to be the hot bait at the
moment, despite the rain the river is still very active and we lucky in that we
do not have a big catchment area, some of the rivers nearby are flooding making
fishing very slow.
Surf
So far most of the diamonds coming out
are at Old Ramp and Doggies the banks did have a day recently when a lot were
caught but after that it went quiet, the best time to fish the Banks is going
into spring tide and coming out this making the wading far easier and the times
are about 2hrs into and after low, this spot is by far the best place to fish
the low in our area. David fished in front of Forest Lodge for 3 days and
during his last session he got a diamond of 2m just shows perseverance pays
off. There was a club outing at the banks and fishing was very slow due to weed
however a young lady managed a nice size catface rockcod.
Ski boat
After 15 years of fishing local waters
Shaun finally caught an edible over 10kg the fish was a kob of 12.09kg great excitement.
Keeve and the gang went out to high
point and got some tuna, however the boats that fished closer in managed a Dorado
and Paul got a couta at Gerries in dirty water it seems as though Hannes was
the only one that got a lot of bottoms and decent size ones 2 boats that I know
off got no fish at all.
News from the Shop
Currently we have 13 different baits
in stock.
