It’s been a windy few days but that certainly didn’t stop the ‘Sweeties and Squires’ fishing competition from being a great success. We loved seeing excited women and kids in store buying their bait and tackle and are thrilled to report that some great fish were caught!
Dam
We’ve had very mixed reports from the dam this week, with some people catching multiple fish and others catching jack squat after solid efforts.
If you’re heading there this weekend, we suggest focusing on the basin in and around the rope wall. Use any deep diver lures that dive to about 6m. We can recommend the Barra Classic Doctor Evil’s.
Estuary
Other than the 4.5m croc being captured in the Proserpine River on the 10th of April, there’s not much to report for estuary fishing this week!
It’s back to neaping tides this weekend. Why not head to Midge Point or Laguna Quays to chase barra from the rock walls? Low tide is the best time to do this. Use shallow diving hard body lures or small paddle tail lures.
Islands & Offshore
A fair amount of queenfish and tuna have been caught around the islands this past week.
Unfortunately, we can’t report the weather that the weather offshore is going to be great the next few days though, as the wind is set to continue. If you do choose to head out regardless, make sure you log on with VMR.
We wish you all a very happy and safe Easter. And of course, we hope that lots of you catch some delicious seafood to enjoy over the Easter break!
Best of luck out there!
