great white

Holes Bay is the worst area of the Harbour for the contaminated mud, from all the industrial and chemical businesses that used harbour water for cooling. Strangely it was a hotspot for flounder fishing, many winners of our annual comps came from North of Cobbs.

Seals Cormorants and Bass have got to eat all of the tiny flounders in the harbour. Such a shame , it was a good fall back in the winter, when weather was foul

Took me two weeks to recover Colin, I hope that yours is not so bad

Great news Jerry Look forward to the report and pictures

Wendy and I have just booked a weeks holiday in Madeira in April Has anyone been there and if you have did you fish? Thanks Charlie

Thanks Mal. I am sure once the weather settles and the fish start biting we will all feel a little happier. But kind words from friends are always a boost. Sharing great memories over a drink, including banter and taking the P~~~, are also a good remedy for the blues. you are a caring soul

While I sit here waiting to get rid of an awfull bug, picked up at New Year. Wendy sent me a montage of January fish that popped up on her phone. I thought I would share it, in case anyone needed encouraging to get out, if weather allows. Not all pictures are from home waters. Lol Happy dangling all.

Thanks Jim Happy Christmas everyone

Was this the last trip of the year? Thanks Dave

Well done everyone

My one did too Allan. But it was only to cross my name off, due to a double booking.

As suggested I had an early (very cold) start At the boat in the dark and slipped her berth at 7 Lovely weather for a run to the winter banks. And anchored up for the flood. Lines out and time for coffee Rods nodding from the off, doggie on one, small whiting on the other. That seemed to show that i was in the right spot. But that was one of only two whiting all day. That was not the same with the dogs, i had dozens of the bloody things. I thought of moving but then started to add a few congers and 3 small blonde rays. At noon i did have a short move, the same continued plus a Small Eyed. Weather picked up, so one more move further inshore, guess what more dogs. I decided to get the squid jigs out and have a go, but damn the breeze was cold, so i gave up after 30 minutes. Run in was simple and back on her berth before dark. Lots of fish , another good day But nothing to bother the catch report stats.

Thanks Colin Looking forward to it, unfortunately Dave is working, but I will keep an eye out for any big fish. If I get small whiting I may pop a few in the live bait tank just in case

Thanks May go early and not too far Steve

Hi all There looks to be a possible weather window on Wednesday, so I may change my working days to fit another trip in Tides are nice for a trip to the 50/50 area for some rays and whiting, or maybe a bit further out for some Spurdogs and larger things dependant on the sea state anyone fancy joining me, pop your number on here or give me a text/Call Charlie
