FISHING REPORT Apr 25 - 2011 |
Mon, Apr 25 - 2011
Warmer waters are still enveloping our coastline; most anglers are enjoying good catches of a large number of species up and down the coast.
Good sized Kingies are being caught off Port Islands and bombies further north and south. It’s just been a matter of picking up a few livies, sounding around, getting those baits down a little deeper into the strikezone and hold on. Sharkey, from up north has reported some solid torpedoes up to 7-10kg still being landed.
For the lake fisho’s, plenty of Bream have been netted using soft plastics and hard bodied lures over on the Western side of Lake Illawarra. Watch out for those bruisers though as the loss of a couple of the hard bodies, it can become an expensive outing.............Ssssssssh, don’t tell the missus. Water temperature has been a little cool in the mornings but warming to a comfortable 22 degs around the middle of the day when most of the action has been taking place.
The annual Ocean Beach Hotel V’s Warilla Beach Hotel comp was held last weekend with Warilla absolutely smashing the lads from Harbour by all accounts. Joe Da Silva and Don McLeod scored well with some nice small school jews, whilst Wade Smedley donged the Salmon and tailor from the local rock walls.
The Pirtek Challenge and Southern Bream series fishing competitions have been held over the past couple of weeks down on St Georges Basin with reports of some real solid catches of Bream, Flathead and Whiting. Rumours have it that Big E, Wayne Reid and Waz Keelan have once again taken out a major prize pool in the Pirtek Challenge, with Waz Keelan landing a cracking 44cm Whiting. Congratulations boys on another successful challenge.
Until next time
Keep it Reel |
