With the days getting longer and the the weather warming up the water temperature is staring to get to a barra feeding level. Catches in the last week or so have been slowly improving with a few quality fish starting to show there heads as well. Water temp is now a consistent 26 degrees and some pockets of higher temps can be found at times. Yesterday showed the best signs of the fish starting to bite when fishing with one client over the low in Hope Inlet we bagged four barra and lost several others. Earlier in the week a client pulled the hooks at the boat on a meter plus fish and on Tuesday Dennis from Perth landed a healthy 87cm fish from a low tide hole in the Howard River showing the bigger fish are staring to move in with the water temp rising.
A recent trip to the Vernon Islands with mark and Tony Russo produced some good fish. While numbers of fish were not overly high some quality jacks and cod and a nice little coral trout made the trip worthwhile. We boated about forty fish and ten different species to make the day interesting.
Crabbing has been a bit of a battle with a lot of small crabs about and the usual high amounts of jenny,s we see at this time of year but as usual you can always
