ESPERANCE

Anglers in Esperance have been enjoying some good fishing despite the occasional winter conditions. We are seeing good catches coming from both land-based and offshore anglers in recent weeks. The Tanker Jetty in town is producing heaps of squid, with plenty of samples over a kilo. Size 3.5 jigs are the go, and the best colours are still lighter patterns, such as whites and light greens, with the clear waters allowing for plenty of sight casting. One of the more popular jigs at the moment is the Yamashita Live Search in acacia yellow, MELBOURNE ALBERTON which has a rattle for added MELBOURNE MARINE CENTRE ALBERTON MARINE attraction.
