Stay Safe
Be bright – be safe at night When night falls, it’s a completely different world on the water and so vessels that operate from sunset to sunrise, whether at anchor or underway, must carry and exhibit the correct lights. What lures are best?
Knife jigs and soft plastics with sufficient weight to get to the bottom which varies dependent on current strength. Best time to fish?
All year round. In Winter the Leather Jacket can be a real problem. What dream fish might I catch?
Big Snapper, Pearl Perch and the occasional large Jewfish.
