FISHING, BOATING AND ADVENTURES
Hello anglers,
Good to see the sunshine, at last. Good catches of the bread-and-butter fish are still being landed throughout the passage. AFAQ fished the weekend at Ocean Beach. Good catches of flathead and bream were caught, but tailor was thin on the ground. Turner’s Camp, Ningi Creek, Sandstone Point, Red Beach and the Cockle banks were areas for fish catches of bream, whiting, flathead and the occasional Grassy sweetlips. Still good bream and the occasional Tailor from the Jetty. Live bait and White Pilchard working well. A reminder to anglers that it is still closed season for Pearl Perch and Snapper, a fishing inspector informed me of two very recent events, one, a recreational fisher caught Snapper and hid his catch under floorboards, and a commercial fisherman caught selling fish for cash that was not reported on his daily catch list. They are out there and like speeding, you will be caught when you least expect it. The weather, swell and rain wrecked the first week of my report timeline, hopefully, we will see an end to it for a while and get back to normal beautiful winter days. That is all for this edition, tight lines, DOC
