FISHING, BOATING AND ADVENTURES
Hello Anglers, Wonderful to see sunshine for an entire day, at last. Good catches of the breadand-butter fish are still being landed throughout the passage. AFAQ fished the weekend with approx. 22kg of bream and other species in the passage and 14kg from inside Tangalooma. We only weighed in before the Westerlies started to get to 30knots. Cooks’ rocks, the ripples and Ningi creek were the main areas for fish catches. If you are an Alvey fan, get in early to upgrade your reels or I have a great stock of spare parts. For drag washer sets you will need to get orders in fast. Rich and Fabi from Bribie Island Beach Shack and Offshore Charters report good quantities of quality Mahi Mahi to the East and great mixed reef fish such as Coronation Trout, Venus Tusk fish, Moses Perch, Pearl Perch, and a whole array of estuary cod, golden spotted,
black-spotted Cod and a growing number of Mauri Cod. Yesterday’s catch despite the weather and 2-meter swells included good-sized Green Jobfish, Goatfish, Snapper, Kingfish, Golden Spotted Wrasse and Cod. The volumes of larger Snapper are still yet to appear in numbers, but reasonable sized fish are still being caught. last week and the week before catches included good-sized Kingfish, Cobia, Mackerel and Trevally all on quite basic rigs using fresh bait. The massive fish are definitely there though, with several fish yesterday proving difficult to land as they spook near the surface and run, so lost a few even on 50lb X8 Braid, with 2/0
or 3/0 gangs on Pillies or live bait and even snapping a rod here and there. If you have not heard, Alvey is closing down in January next year.
