The
very sudden cool conditions have dramatically changed
the fishing results at the surf beach. Draughtboard
sharks are a plentiful nuisance to evening fishers.
Good bags of large salmon to 3.5kgs were caught this
morning but the fish have not appeared regularly, in
fact on many occasions fishers have left the beach empty
handed.
The channel is now deep and wide, conditions appear
excellent. |

a large shark. For several nights baits have not even
been touched by crabs, having stayed on for over two
hours.

Strong
winds and weed are still affecting the surf, but have
not damaged the beach as regards fishing. The channel
remains good. Generally fish have been scarce during
the snippets of time when conditions have been good
enough to fish.
Only one report of some large salmon and a small gummy
having been caught. Of course very few fishers have
braved the conditions, especially the sudden sharp drop
in temperatures. |
