Fishing REPORT By Bribie Bait Tackle & Bikes

The weather has been quite favourable for the past fortnight, and there have been some very nice fish taken. Have a look at this prize Flathead of 72cm caught by Claude on soft plastics, drifting the Pebble Beach bank. Claude has caught some beautiful BOATING, FISHING AND ADVENTURES fish during the last couple worms. of weeks drifting over that I have mentioned the bank with fresh hardiheads, sand spit on the northern baby blue pilchards (which side of the Pacific Harbour are available from Bribie Bait Tackle and Bikes), and casting soft plastics as he goes. By doing so, he covers many avenues and many species. The baby blue is out there just in case there is a tailor around, and all anglers know that the hardihead is the favourite tucker of the big Bream. It appears that the summer Whiting is showing up canal as a "hot" spot in early. Normally we my last couple of reports, don't see too many until and here are 3 good fish about the second week in taken by Kegan there. The September, but traditionally Flathead went 73cm and over the last 40 odd years, 45cm and the Bream 30cm”. the dyed in the wool There has also been some Whiting anglers have beautiful Whiting taken always had a crack from there on yabbies. Exhibition Day on. Have a By the time you receive look at the lovely Whiting this report, the Snapper caught by Danny's brother, season should be open once Clinton. He got 6 in total, again. With that in mind, just before the first lagoon we have a full moon on on the Woorim beach, Wednesday 19th August, on our special live blood and the Almanac says our hot time is 20th, 21st, and 22nd August. This would be a great time to have a crack at catching a "knobby". As I mentioned earlier, many of the 'old-timers' start fishing for summer Whiting on Red Beach and the main beach from Ekka day onwards, and for the last 2 years, they have had success with these earlier fish. Why not have a try for our prize-winning Whiting during the above almanac period? Also, tradition says that we usually get cold westerly winds during the Ekka period. Hopefully, this will be the case this year which should stir up the Tailor once again. Remember - all very successful anglers vary their methods and locations, so, have a go at the few methods I have mentioned in this and past reports. All for now. Keep safe and tight lines.
