A reminder to for all members to observe and comply with NSW DPI/Fisheries size and bag limits.
It is suggested the easiest and simplest way to accomplish this is to keep your catch separate from others if fishing in groups or onboard boats.
It will save a lot of possible embarrassment or explaining later if necessary.
Luke from Leisure Coast Tackle at Corrimal said although the fishing and weather conditions were only just reasonable, there was not a lot to report owing to the wind that came and went.
Quite a few headed out last Sunday morning in less than favourable conditions, with winds that were predicted to ease off all day but didn’t happen until late afternoon.
Crews that toughed it out said the fishing was poor to say the least, for most part of the weekend with flat seas and crystal clear water.
Last Monday was the pick of the days as weather conditions on the weekends have seen heaps of boats stay ashore, but the top conditions would have seen a few work sickies called for sure.
Wider out for the bigger boats, there were far and wide radio reports of yellowfin tuna, especially down south towards Jervis Bay and Kiama wide.
Locally, the snapper bite increased markedly and although not a lot of cuttleys were seen, the reds were targeted with good success by jigging soft plastics with white the standout colour.
Beaches and the rocks continue to fish well but with the flat conditions the low light periods are the best time to target a feed.
Mulloway have once again been elusive but there have been plenty of big stingrays, tailor and salmon around.
