FISHING NEWS

April 5th 2008

The wind continues to blow but at least the rain has eased and we’ve had a good set of tides all week.

 

Endeavour River :  Some good fish have been caught.  Trevally and queenies have been fairly common most falling to live herring, there’s been a few jacks around but not in their normal good numbers.  The barra however have been quite active with live herring producing a few; lures are starting to come into there own with reasonable sized fish turning up and down the river.  Mark fished Saturday and Sunday lunchtimes on the run out tide and landed four one day and three the next with most of them good saltwater fish with the biggest going 77cm.

 

Annan River :  Plenty of trevally out in Walker Bay .  Not a lot of barra but hardly surprising as the commercial nets seem to have been a constant presence since the start of the season.

 

Wharf:  Good grunter have been caught along the foreshore on live herring, more mackerel have put in an appearance also on livies and several barra were landed on Saturday.

 

Local beaches:  Quarantine Bay and Finch Bay have produced a few sharks and some quality jacks on lures.

 

Out the front:  Has fished well for those who have been able to make the most of the small windows of opportunity in the weather.
