Ballina Bait & Tackle by BRETT HYDE
The fishing around the Northern Rivers has been quite good in recent months. Some cleaner than usual water and warm weather have both contributed to this in a significant way. The only concerns will be if we have major rain events or east coast lows between now and Easter – the typical time of the year for these to occur. Offshore, over the past month or so, the current has been ripping down the hill, making fishing most of the wider grounds a real challenge.
Still, good kingfish have come from the 48-fathom line and beyond, with most of the better fish nailing knife jigs in the 300400g range. Pearl perch were found in a similar area but were a little harder to target due to the heavy current over summer. A number of anglers managed to target a few fish on jigs, lately though bait was far better at grabbing their attention. Great numbers of snapper have turned up on the 32-fathom line. * continued P29
