Generally
good conditions this week, but some weed seen in the
surf again. Channel good. Not a lot of fish being caught!
But there have been a few salmon, small flathead and
some gummies. Reports of even a couple of pinkies having
been caught. Some baracouta have been kicking around
with some "bite offs" before they could be
landed. |

The
surf looks better, but the weed comes and goes because
of the strong winds and sidewash. The water felt quite
warm on Saturday but now feels cool again.
Very few fish are being caught. A salmon or two, small
trevally, small gummy and presumably a school shark
of good size. Some bite offs have been reported. |
