Bring on summer; frustrated anglers are baying for the warmer water and sunny days that summer brings, not to mention the fish.

Those few that did find time to hit the water did it tough, Windang beach was the place to be with salmon and tailor honing in on everything that went in to the water.

Metal lures like “Gyro’s” and “Psyko’s” with their wounded bait fish actions proved irresistible to these psyched up and hungry fish. One angler frustrated with the recent conditions, fished Windang in the early morning on the wrong tide just to get a fix and relieve the jitters came up trumps on some nice sambo’s to 3kg’s.

Andrew Crook was one fisho’s who braved the cold winter waters and was seriously rewarded with a serious fish one thumping snapper that weighed 6.5kg! Andrew wouldn’t let on with exactly where he got it other than the area had a mixture of sand and reef bottom.

The Barry’s were another crew that needed that fishing fix. The boy’s fished the inshore areas around Shellharbour and with 14-degree water temperature did it extremely tough landing a few small reds and some hungry flathead.
