The briefing will be at the Paddock Farmers’ Club on Friday, March 23 at 7pm.

Meanwhile, the weather has been fairly favourable for all the facets over this last week and everyone has been able to get out and enjoy their favourite pastime.

The sea has been flat and the sun has been out.

Reports have been slow to filter, meaning that either the guys are too busy catching fish to let us know or they are too embarrassed to say they caught nothing.

The sea is looking fairly tasty for the weekend and the rest of the week but Mother Nature can always change her mind.

The rock and surf scene has been buzzing with inedible action.

This has mainly been in the form of diamonds and sand sharks from up north but locally there have also been a few flat fish coming out.

The bronze bream are still feeding well (to everyone’s surprise).

Reports on some decent crayfish being caught along the coast.

There have also been a few kob, pompano and some very nice stumpnose coming out.

The baits that have been producing the pulls are pink prawn as a base mixed with sealice or chokka. Cracker shrimp (mud prawns) is also a very versatile bait for any edible fish.

The offshore scene has been fairly active with the arrival of the shoal couta and the ever-present tuna keeping all the offshore guys busy no matter their vessel of choice.

Tuna are out and about along the entire South Coast.

Trolling lures have been the best method of catching these feisty football-sized tuna.

They are on the small side but there are some proper giants mixed in.

Tight lines.
