Herald Fishing: Pink prawn and cracker shrimp baits of choice
Offshore fishermen have had a better time of it than the shore anglers of late.
The south has been very quiet in terms of reports coming in.
There have also been a few kob, pompano and some very nice stumpnose coming out.
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 inedibles being landed have been a mixed bag of the usual suspects including sand sharks, diamonds and brown rays.
All of these love a mackerel head with some lightly-beaten cutlets wrapped neatly around it.
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.
