Good week of reef fishing with calmer conditions

Another good week of reef  fishing, with calmer conditions making things even nicer.

We’re still working the deeper water. Checking some of the shallower spots we’d normally be catching in at this time produced nothing much, so the season looks like being late, continuing the tendency of the few years.

The water temperature jumped up a couple of degrees over the weekend, with lots of krill and jellyfish around, so theoretically we should see snapper, skippies and gamefish showing up pretty soon.  We’ve had  more trevally being caught in the last few days, another sign that things are starting to pick up.

WHAT OUR FANTASTIC CLIENTS SAY

    Hi Brett,
     
    I enjoyed my fishing during my last trip to Tauranga. The fishes caught was really delicious...Taratiki. I couldn't wait to eat them, so, I cooked a few fillets at the Bay Palm Motel where I stayed. I brought the rest back to Perth and my family just loved them.
     
    Just a note that you should be aware of so that you can advise all future Australians who fish with you and want to bring the fishes home. The fishes MUST be headless, gilled and gutted. Remember, must not have heads. I decleared my fishes and the first questions asked was whether I removed the head (which I did) and since my fishes were also gutted and gilled, I could bring in ALL(including the fillets).
     
    Best wishes for the season and happy fishing.

    Regards,
