Gone Fishin'

4 September 2008

| Davo's

Earlier in the week, as calm conditions prevailed, the outer reefs were just too much of a temptation.

Snapper were in excellent numbers and sensational size at The Hards: plenty of “knobbies” about 3kg-5kg and a number at 7kg.

The Barwon Banks also fired, with excellent snapper to 7kg, plus samson fish and mowong.

Double Island Point was also worth the effort.

Angler Ben Nothling and his mates blitzed the area with 7’ Gulp soft plastics, boating spangled emperor to 7kg, parrot fish, pearl perch, snapper Maori cod and cobia.

At North Reef there were yellowfin tuna, yellowtail kingfish and Maori cod on the bite, Sunshine reef produced Maori cod and sweetlip and Laguna Bay cobia and juvenile mackerel were active at Little Hall’s Reef.

The Noosa Offshore Fishing Club meets on the last Wednesday of each month at The Villa Noosa Hotel, presenting guest speakers and specialised information nights.

For more details call Greg at Davo’s on 5449 8099.

In the river, quality whiting are dotted about but not in huge numbers, while luderick are still on the bite at the river mouth.

Coolum “cabbage” is the main attraction to these feisty fish at the river-mouth car park rocks.

There’s plenty of trevally action in The Woods bays plus the odd tailor, a few mangrove jacks responding to live baits around the back of Noosa Sound and the odd flathead in Weyba Creek around 65cm.

Marcus Beach produced good tailor this week: top weight 3kg. And Sunrise Beach produced whiting and tarwhine.
