Lagoon.
Now the silt has gone time to get stuck in, fishing was sow over the
weekend and today being a work day I bet they lining up to be fed. The tide is
coming in during the afternoon so an evening session with some nice Prawn on
one stick and a lure on the other will be the way forward.
Surf.
The big sharks that have been stripping the anglers and one was landed
last Monday , a Raggie of 125kg, we have some Sugars and Chokka and slides so
get the big stick out and have a crack at one of those back breakers. Don’t
forget Diamonds, they like a live bait however DON’T use a Shad till December
1.
Ski Boat.
By all accounts very slow over the weekend, our charter managed 8
Species in 5 hrs, but know Game fish were seen or birds in the bay. One of the
other boats foul hooked a whale, luckily they released quiet soon and cut the
line. Water is still very green in the bay. Good luck to the guys going on the Amatikulu
Cape Vidal trip.
