Marlin, tuna and kingfish are all on the bite

19 Dec, 2007 08:00 AM
Gamefishing is worth a shot at the moment as plenty of tuna and marlin are about with fish caught both on the shelf and as close in as 30 fathoms. Kingfish have also been on the chew with live baits proving to be the best option but some days both baits and jigs are just as deadly. Inshore reef fishing has been a bit tough but most species have been caught when anglers put plenty of time and effort in. Anglers fishing wide have come across plenty of harpooka but unfortunately the blue eye have been scarce. Flathead fishing has been good with nice sandys and tigers on the chew and the local estuaries are still firing with all species on the bite. Beach fishing has been the exception with poor catches and hopefully this should improve as some nice gutters and holes are forming after some rough weather last week. Our Gala Weekend will be on the 5th and 6th of January and we are hoping for a big turn out of fishermen as its our once a year chance of donating money to local groups in need.

Shane Mayberry and myself are on bar duty this Friday night and will open the Spencer Park clubrooms at 6.30 pm. Fishing report will be held prior to the beer and seafood raffle and a big selection of drinks are available to members and the general public. On behalf of president Shannon Stokes and committee I would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and happy new year. May your reel scream, Mex.
