With some better weather for the long weekend, plenty of anglers headed out to try their luck.
Double Island again featured this week with some great reports of jew fish on the chew, a couple of quality snapper were also in the mix along with tusk fish, moses perch and pearl perch.
The biggest complaint was you needed plenty of weight as the run was right up there.
Most anglers used 12 once sinkers on the good old paternoster rig loaded with quality squid and pilchards.
Those that choose to run a floater rig need a far bit of weight on the nose to get the baits to sink through the water column.
The Pelagic’s are really starting to show up now with plenty of tuna action around Hervey Bay.
Look for that bird activity and you will find the fish, most anglers are casting slugs like the Halco Twisty in the 20 to 40 gram size.
Casting to the edges of the bait schools and not into the middle of the school will see you get more casts in and not spook the school as quickly.
Tin Can has been a hive of activity with plenty of holiday makers enjoying the area.
With the morning run in tides plenty of whiting have been taken on the banks, a great way to target them is to walk and cast, fishing small poppers and surface walkers has been very popular with the lure anglers, if bait is your thing, nothing beats yabbies and soldier crabs.
Kauri Creek has again featured this week with plenty of jacks taken, fishing the rock bars seems to be where most of the action has been with live bait the best producer.
Trevally numbers have been good with some Nice GT’s taken on the big incoming tide.
Up at River Heads and creeks running into the Mary there has been some better action.
Good sized estuary cod have been plentiful along with mangrove jack jewfish and the odd threadfin.
Salinity levels in the river are right up there with little fresh falling upstream so it is not unusual to find these more saline loving species a far way upriver.
On the Beach, tailor are still being taken between Teewah and Double Island with most fish taken at night, there is plenty of traffic on the North Shore so keep an eye on the kids as they move up and down on the beach.
Whiting numbers have been good along with dart the bigger models seem to be on the high tide.
Inskip has been manic with plenty of camper taking advantage of the conditions.
