Guests enjoyed the warm spring days on the water with a range of species on offer during September. Golden trevally,tea leaf trevally, bludger trevally, Spanish mackerel, school mackerel, queenfish, longtail and mac tuna were all out and about. Fishing the shallow reefs also resulted in some nice cod, painted sweetlip, grunter and coral trout caught by guests.
- Brad take this months prize for fish of the Month with a solid cobia while being guided by Murray. Great work Brad!
- Flathead a good option on the windy days.
- Jake with a big golden on the jig.
Our spotty mackerel season will also be kicking off in the coming weeks. Chasing these speedsters is always very visual and a lot of fun between targeting other species. Longtail and mac tuna have also started to move in the bay, good numbers can be found in a few locations giving anglers some great spring time sportfishing. We still have dates available through October and the Spring season. If you are after some fun in the sun,drop us a email for rates and dates Email fishing@herveybaysportfsihing.com.au
- School size longtail action.
- Not bad for land based.
- Black Marlin Season is not far away.
We received some well needed rain this week with around 150 mm falling locally in Hervey Bay. Bundaberg received a drenching with 300mm falling in 24 hours. With the rain there was a few water spouts causing some damage when they made landfall.
All is good other wise with the weather returning to normal now. The rain will give the rivers a little push of fresh which will help move some of the estuary species to the lower reaches and push some bait out in the bay.
- Spring time snapper for Zac, well done mate!
- Salmon will be on the move in the rivers, perfect timing for their season.
- Jane with a coral trout from a shallow reef.
