What a stellar weekend it was last weekend for fishing – total glass out!
Unfortunately, the weather won’t be the same this weekend, as howling winds are predicated to be here for the next few days. It’s a good reminder to make the most of every good weather window.
Dam
There’s been a few good barramundi caught in the dam this past week by anglers who have been trolling deep diving hard body lures. Shallow ones should still be proving successful as well though.
If you’re heading to the dam, don’t forget your insect repellent. The midges and mozzies have been rife.
Estuary
A stack of quality barramundi are still being caught in the estuaries. Live baiting and slow twitching soft prawn plastics have been the standouts for success.
Some great grunter catches are also starting to roll in. Using prawns for bait are definitely your best option here.
Again, don’t forget your insect repellent…
Islands & Offshore
The islands and offshore have continued to be incredible this week. Plenty of good reef species have been caught, including coral trout, nannygai and red emperor. You can’t ask for better fish for dinner!
The challenge has been getting catches past the sharks, which is proving particularly difficult at the moment. When you’re successful though, it does make the catch feel even more rewarding.
We hope you can all find somewhere a little protected to fish the next few days.
Best of luck out there!
