Quality 88cm build up barra

80cm low tide barra

Well the build up fishing has now moved into full swing with quality barra about in good numbers. Most fish are well over the 70cm mark and plenty over 80cm. Low tide has proved the best fishing as is usual at this time of year but the high tide fishing has also improved. A meter plus fish was lost in the snags at high tide in the little Howard on Sunday.
There have also been some good Theadfin about, we landed four fish in the 70 to 80cm range in a low tide hole in the Howard River last week.
Crabs have been patchy but there are a few good quality crabs about.

Windy conditions tough

Daves 81cm barra

Have fished nine of the last ten days and I think the constant wind has made fishing tough. Most of the fishing has been over the low tide and getting out of the wind has been hard. The wind has been keeping the temperatures down and the fish been hard to temp. While we have caught fish every trip numbers are low but there have been some good fish among them. We can see the fish are there and I think as the winds die off and the humidity rises in the next few weeks we are in for some great fishing.
A trip to the Vernon Islands proved to be worthwhile as we landed in excess of fifty fish with some Quality Jacks and Cod among them. Some good size Trevaly of different species were on hand including a very pretty Diamond Trevaly.
Mud crabs have been patchy with some days struggling and some good days.
