Great fishing weather

Wow! The weather has been perfect this last week and we’ve been making the most

of it. I hope youhave too. The conditions have been excellent for offshore fishing and

the great news is the next week looks much the same.

This is a pic Steve took for us on Sunday morning.

With the full moon this week, the fish should be on the bite.

We got in a few trips over the last week and Sunday turned out to be the best day

for fishing. The biggest fish we reeled in was this 5.5 kg snapper from Caloundra 9 mile.

Congratulations Trent!

What’s being caught:

Murphy’s Reef: squire, Moses perch, sweetlip and blue-barred parrotfish

Currimundi Reef: sweetlip, spotted mackerel, Moses perch and squire

Caloundra 9 Mile: tuskfish, sweetlip, snapper and pearl perch

Caloundra 12 Mile: pearl perch, squire, kingfish and Maori cod

Barwon Banks: snapper, pearl perch, amberjack and tuskfish

There’s a lot of sweetlip around at the moment and they can be found on all inshore reefs.

They rangein size up to four kilograms and we’ve been letting a lot of juveniles go so the

numbers are lookinghealthy and we should continue to have fun catching these for a while

to come. If you’re keen to hook a sweetlip, I find the best time to catch them is in the

afternoon on a making tide. They are most active a week either side of full moon, so now

is certainly the time to give it a go. They fight well and they’regreat eating. And the best

part is that you don’t have to go far to catch them.

If you’d like to come out for a trip with us, head to the contact page and drop us a line

or give us a call on the number at the top of this page.

Happy Hunting!
