Herald Fishing: Settling seas should see fishing upswing
Pompano, stumpnose and kingfish are going to be the main species coming out so make sure you have enough chokka and pink prawn to make the deadly combo bait that all three of these species love.
The weather has been less than ideal for fishing over the last week but some have managed to sneak a fish or two out.
The sea has settled a bit so fishing should be good for the next week.
With summer in full swing, there are certain species that fill our wish lists and dreams. For the edible guys, the GT or giant kingfish has to be very high up or at the top of many anglers’ target list.
For the inedible guys (myself included) the top summer species has to be the giant guitarfish. This is a hard fighting species that is beautiful and never gives up.
The fishing has been a bit slow with the conditions preventing most from getting on to the beach or rocks.
There have been small shad along most of the South Coast and the larger (legal) sized ones are proving to be very good bait for the inedibles around.
These have mainly been sandies and honeycombs.
The edible fishing has slowed down but the guys that have caught have had to fish very hard to get the pull.
Reports of a couple bronze bream being caught but no fireworks.

Fresh water anglers are still having a lot of fun catching the PB (personal best) bass and tilapia.
