Metro bill fish - water temp
Submitted by SausageSizzle on Fri, 2017-02-17 10:47
Hi guys,
Appears to be a comparatively warmish current (22-23 degrees) pushing south north of the trench. Historically, how warm has the water been when those very lucky few have raised a couple of marlin in a day off Perth?
Slight chance Sunday's weather be okay and the current makes it down in time?.. fingers crossed.
Cheers,
Sam

Anything over about 21
No hard and fast rules but if you've got water temps over about 21 and find a good temp break I'd be giving it a go.

I have seen it as high as 25 - but it would not be that outlandish to think my unit could be out a degree or two !
- also water temp at the surface can be a bit warmer in calmer conditions (summer)

Put in a solid effort on
Put in a solid effort on Sunday - on the grounds by 530am. Ended up with 0-0-0 woo hoo!
Marked one on the sounder at the start of the trench but was on what we thought was a decent break so continued on (hindsight is wonderful). Spent the morning looking for good water which took us to >2,500m.. Found good warmish water (surface got up to 24.5 degrees) with a few breaks & upwellings but could not raise one. To top off the frustration we spotted one crash some bait 100m off our bow.
In general we had a hard time finding bait. Quite a bit in closer toward fads (quite small) but not alot in what I thought looked like the better water.
kamo king, were you in a bit closer towards the fads? I reckon with hindsight thats where we found some of the better water after searching far and wide..
