3mile fishing report
I have been hitting the three mile a lot recently.. mainly two rcoks, mindarie and ocean reef. heaps of birds out there attacking baitballs. everywhere ive been fishin there hase been a lot of bait on the sounder and on the surface. from two rocks i caught 1 under size dhuie, 1 sized dhuie, break seas, undersize baldies, and 1 seargent backer. Also got ontop of a school of undersize snapper which was good fun on light gear (All undersize fish released!!!). coming back from two rocks last week.. I saw some birds when i went to check it out mackrel where hammering the baitfish. i got busted off on 2 mackrel (no wire).
went out from ocean reef on sunday... and couldnt stop getting break sea cods (makes me wonder why the bag limit is 2). I kept one big one and the rest went down on the release wieght. after drifting some wrass got a doubl header of undersize dhuies (only in 10m, fish where in great condition and released). I then drifted a big fillet of wrass on a set of gangs.. within 5 minuites i hooked into a hammerhead. kept drifting around and was greeted by a tiger shark which wasnt intrested in anything. on the way home the same thing as in two rocks.. baitfish just getting hammered, got a double hook up with nothin to show for :(
so far every trip to the three mile with a wrass fillet in the water has produced a dhuie (mostly undersize and all caught 10-17m deep)... next time a wrass comes onboard chuck it back down as a fillet!!!
please feel free to add your report of any inshore fishing.. there has been a lot of activity lately it would be intresting to see what everyone else is getting into..

fishmark In my
fishmark In my opinion hammerheads are great eating (taste like chicken to me with very nice texture), thing is tho got to cut the fins and head as soon as its captured and keep it on ice.
