However there are
still people who want to go fishing and
there are fish to be
caught, just have to change what we do and target different species.
A few very early
mackerel and tuna are starting to get caught already.
A few catches from my November Charters
Fiona and husband
Michael Malloch were game for a fish during the demersal ban. I took them and a
couple of mates
to an area where we
could catch mulloway, sand snapper and the likes that are not affected by the
ban.
Fiona opened her
account with a thumper sand snapper
and Michael had to release this big estuary
cod.
A few baldchin groper
had to go back
and Frank’s dhuie, a PB for him also went back
Toni had a ball
catching XXX sized sand snapper
and a nice pink snapper which released well.
On another charter late
this month, we went for a troll for mackerel and tuna.
There were reports of
mackerel being caught and the water was clear and 21.8 degrees, all good signs.
However it did not happen
so we went to s spot that usually produces cobia.
Colin Thirtle with
his coral trout that had to go back due to the demersal ban still in force
until 15th December.
Chris got a wobbegong
among his many blue-lines emperor,
while Dan took a long time before he
came up tight with
this snapper.
No beating about the
bush! There were blowies and they caused havoc to our tackle.
We eventually landed
a small cobia that was shared on the filleting table.

Bite of the Month
Michael Malloch was
gobsmacked when this estuary cod hit the surface near the boat.
He had no idea of the
size other than it was a “Big fish” when he was fighting it to the boat.
It was released
successfully with an extra-large release weight.
Each month I award Bite of the
Month to someone who catches the best fish
from one of my boats.
