For anglers the weather is looking great this week.
Hopefully everyone can get out and have a crack at the blue water.
A fair few people were even lucky enough to get out this week and get outside.
The Reefys and Pelagic’s were biting hard this week with heaps of Spanish and longtail getting around and good Spotties are in the mix too.
The best baits have been pillies and live bait.
For the lures, front trolling big divers have been the key to getting big mackerel alongside casting big stick baits.
The longtail tuna have been loving little 20-gram slugs and 100mm stick baits and soft plastics.
When throwing soft plastics, a 3.75-inch Streakz in bubble gum has been the secret weapon.
The pinnacles off double island have been the best bet for Pelagic’s and assorted reef fish.
The beaches were fishing amazing over the last weekend with heaps of reports of baby Spanish getting caught and the odd big one in the mix.
Plenty of fun sized giant trevally’s getting around as well alongside the odd tailor, queenfish, tuna and dart.
This time of year is a great time of year to spin metals for Pelagic’s off the beach as all the winter and summer species are both out for a feed.
If you enjoy the bait side of things, there are plenty of good whiting dart and bream as well this time of year, beach worms pippies and freshly pumped yabbies are always the best choices of baits when beach fishing.
The bay has also had some amazing fishing with reports of Inskip fishing being great for big Pelagic’s, simply go with a big ball sinker and set up gang hooks matched with a Pillie and odds are great.
Kingfish, giant herring, longtail tuna and mackerel have all been victims to this foolproof set up.
There is also still plenty of good jacks getting around with lots of 50s being caught to finish up people’s season.
Kauri creek is always a good place to start the search for the famous mangrove jack.
These fish love a fresh bit of mullet either live, dead or filleted.
But if lures are your interest, then weedless plastics skipped up into the mangroves is a great and productive way to start.
There have also been a couple reports of longtail getting around in the bay early morning or late afternoon busting up on whitebaits.
Plenty of good whiting being caught out the front of Carlo on the sand bank on freshly pumped yabbies as well with the good old flatty as a bit of by catch.
With everything fishing so well this week the freshwater creeks were no different with lots of big bass being pulled from the clear waters.
Even a couple in their 50s have been caught.
Toga have also been out and about with the recent rain.
The surface is the best option at moment with all the recent rain as all the fish are feeding on bugs from the runoff.
