The weather may have broken at times lately but we have continued to get out amog the fish each day. some days we have had to work harder for the fish than others but still they keep coming aboard. We have seen a few thorn-back  rays starting to feed again. These are promising signs for the next few months inshore. there have been a few hounds in places too. These are always welcome and sure to ‘pull your string’. The bass have been pretty obliging at times. From schoolies to 5lb they are all welcome and seem pretty hungry too. One of the biggest we have seen lately shook the hook 2 feet from the net the other day. it even had the audacity to sit on the surface taunting us  for a few seconds before swimming off. Don’t worry John I will get a longer net handle for your next trip!

Using lots of worm bait for the bass has resulted in a few soles lately too. From various locations and purely as accidental bycatch but welcome all the same.

I gather the wind has meant several trips have been cancelled else where this week. Just a reminder that we have plenty of sheltered fishing in this area and working a big catamaran means we can often still fish in comfort when others are in port. I have individual spaces on Wednesday and Friday  as well as boat availability Thursday if you are keen to get afloat.

We have continued to see smooth-hounds, baby tope and some chunky bass on our general trips as well as lots of schoolie bass at times. The offshore bass fishing continues to be productive too.
