Fishing in close on the half and 3/4 day charters has been very productive for the last 6 weeks. Plenty of hard running Amberjack and Black Kingfish being caught as well as some awesome sized Snapper around 6.5kg mark. Grassy Sweetlip, Moses Perch and some giant Cod have also been keeping us entertained. Spanner crabbing has also been very productive the last few weeks except if the turtles are feeling hungry.
Plenty of spots left on the boat for the next few weeks so give us a ring and get your own Top Catch! |

Been a while since last fishing report, but in between the rain, wind, Christmas and New Years we have managed to get out to the reef quite often. Mackeral were running a for a few days and we got onto some great sized Spottys and also some big Spaniards. Some heavy Mahi Mahi caught on spinning lures also gave everybody onboard a great show. The bottom fishing has been a little bit slower on some days but we have still done really well on average. Plenty of Grassy Sweetlip and Red Throat Emperor caught at the nine mile reefs along with the odd large Snapper. Also landed a few great sized Amberjack and Samson Fish plus an awesome Longtail Tuna that circled around the boat at least 6 times and on numerous occasions when almost within gaf range would take off on some really long powerful runs. Crabbing season also opened up so there has been plenty of crabs around to give everybody a feed. Plenty of trips organised for the coming weeks, hopefully the wind can bugger off for a little bit and let us get out again. Give us a ring to organise your next trip! |

Have been getting on to small patches of nice sized Snapper and Pearl Perch throughout the past couple of weeks as well as some Venus Tuskfish and Brassy Trevally. On Saturdays 3/4 day charter we got onto a great school of Teraglin Jew which were all around the 50cm length and kept us pretty busy. Crabbing has been fairly good lately as the crabs are quite active coming up to their spawning season. Predators have gotten to them before us a few times but still left us with some to cook up and try on the way home! |

Even more great weather!! Some awesome days out fishing at the Barwon Banks and in closer on the half and 3/4 day charters with some huge Grassy Sweetlip and Snapper caught. Fishing has been a bit stop and go lately with some days a bit slow and others excellent. Nice Maori Cod, Red Emperor, monster sized Tuskfish have been the main catch with some nice Moses Perch and even a few caught that are a definite mix between Moses and Stripey Sea Perch. Also got a really nice Mack Tuna on the troll out. Great to give the heavier gear a bit of a workout before the pelagics truly arrive. Whales are almost all gone now with the last couple being spotted this week. Short Tailed Shearwaters or 'Mutton Birds' heading south on there annual Pacific Ocean migration have been a bit of a pain as they can dive down to depths of 60 metres to grab baits. But at least they keep us company when the fish go off the bite! |
