 88cm Of Low Tide barra |  Karl With A Little Vernons Creek Trout |  One Of The Solid Goldies Turning Up In Shoal Bay |
With the big rains holding off the barra fishing in Shoal Bay is in full swing. Low tide fishing is by far the best way to fish at this time of year. Most days are producing six to eight fish but fishing with local girls Marian Taylor and Judy Ward we managed to land thirteen fish on Monday. The fish were all between 65cm & 76cm and put up a great show as you would expect from salt water barra at this time of year.
A few good Threadfin are also showing up along with a unusual amount of solid Golden Snapper. I have never seen so many Goldies in Shoal Bay but they are a welcome addition to the catch.
A trip to the Vernon Islands on Sunday was a little quiet but did produce some quality fish including a 49cm Mangrove Jack and a solid 50cm Goldie in the creek.
Crabs are still very patchy with bucks being hard to find.
