Recent Reports - End of Sept 05

Well, been a bit of mixed weather lately.. Had a pearler of a day down at Walpole on Saturday when there was hardly a breath of wind and it would have been magic out on the ocean.. We still managed an array of fish from King George to Shovelnose sharks..

Locally there have been reports of pink snapper from a few of the southern rock walls and from offshore.  Seems the varied weather is stirring the bottom up nicely and there are reports of dhufish in close, if you know where to go..  Catches of king george have been solid lately and the size has been exceptional.. 

The mulloway rumour was put to the test last weekend and after 2 small runs it was decided that there wasn't a lot of action at the spot chosen.. Unfortunately it was too late to pick up live baits before hitting the spot, so chances were diminished quite a bit.. Haven't heard too much about how the river is fishing for other fish..

Plenty of baitfish out there to be caught at the moment, if livebaiting is the choice..  Also patches of school mackerel and bonito have started showing up and hopefully it shouldn't be long before the pelagic action starts heating up.. Did hear from one of the other websites that one of the guys got into 14 and 18 kg yellowfin out from Garden Island.. So they are around..  Still haven't heard of any in the northern waters.

And.. There has been 30 knot winds up north for the last week, and 40 knot winds down south with the occasional window.. Not a lot of fishing to be done in these conditions.. Here's hoping they turn soon..

Will update when I hear more..
