conditions existed at the surf all week with fine weed
being brought back by the strong Easterly winds and
big seas which also silted up the channel. A Sth Westerly

Surf
fishers are clearly experiencing the unusually difficult
conditions at this time of the year. Weed being brought
in by the Easterly winds just after being moved away
by the Southerlies, a real Merry-Go-Round. The Easterlies
have also brought in a lot of loose sand, bogging sinkers
and making lots of shallow water and sandbars.
Mullet are just about the only fish that have been caught
as they are able to be caught close to the edge in the
small holes. |

on their lines. Black mushy cotton type weed. |

Weed
has again been washed in because of the Easterly winds.
Mullet seem to be plentiful and some bigger ones are
appearing. A few small flathead and some gummies to
about one metre were caught before the weed came back.
Very calm water has seen the weed just sitting there,
taking it's time to go again. Plenty of sand was also
washed in making the channel shallow in many places. |

Wind
and weed have badly affected surf fishing this week,
but the sidewash has dug the channel out right along
the beach. Quite a few mullet have been caught, with
only a few flathead and the occasional salmon and small
gummies. The weed has been gone for just one day at
this stage and with such changeable weather there are
no guarantees on it not coming back again. |
