Unfortunately
the wind has not stopped blowing this year and we are
still experiencing difficult Spring type surf conditions
- wind, weed, sidewash and a bar close in that few fishers
can cast over.
Friday was the only successful occasion for fishers
this week when a couple of bronze whalers were landed.
It was apparently mayhem with all the lost bottoms,
one fisher was spooled and another lost his rod which
quickly disappeared in the surf. Other than that only
a few mullet and a flathead or two have been caught
in the shallows. |

The
poor fishing conditions at the surf have excelled themselves
- weed, wind, sidewash and deep water beyond most fishers
casting ability. Most fishers have resorted to fishing
for mullet in the edge but only a few have been caught,
also some spotty salmon. Fishers who have fluked a cast
over the bar and into the channel have landed a
small gummy and a 1.47 metre, 13.2kg one. We now have
an Easterly gale to contend with, but unfortunately
this season has been plagued with similar similar conditions. |

11am
- Easterly wind, picking up to become quite strong. Water
starting to pound when waves breaking. Several fishers
catching a few mullet in the shallows. Reports of a
couple of salmon caught earlier. |
