Coral Bay update

 Just thought I would give a bit of a update of the Coral Bay conditions and use to chance to show off a couple of our better nad more unusual recent captures.

School holidays where good with some good weather for once, but since then it has been a bit up and down. With weather forcasts not helping too much lately and the second decent bit of rain for the year tonight after about 100mm the other week. But we have still been able to get out most days. Fishing has been made a bit harder lately with some strong currents in close and out wide that have been sticking around for a few months now. But I'm happy to say the fish have been bitting hard, we have had to look around a bit some days but have allways been able to find a hundgy school of fish, bagging out or close enougth to all trips this season so far. The fish have been good to with the Goldband and Rosey Jobfish regularly firing.

We have just finished our first group for the year and they did well. After running out of room in the eskys the first day with big goldband the plan for the second was just to head out and have some fun with the small stuff in a little closer then troll for some makkies. But it didnt go to plan with the boys getting onto some of the biggest reds we have seen for a while. The best two in the photos went 11 and 13kg. 

We have found some fish a bit far from hole lately too. Early in the year we got onto a few smaller mullaway out wide, and a during the school holidays we got the 8 bar cod in the photo much shallower that it should be in about 100m. But the most odd one was a 7kg Green Jobfish in 120m of water on the first day of the group.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
