Autumn Silver

Out at Seymour today with Derek on a 31ft force 4 S/W wind started in the usual place and the first drift produced 3 fish all around the 2lb mark. Moved off to the offshore oyster beds where we had a few more fish. Most were being caught on Jersey wonders although Derek had a few on Senko Worms


 We moved to the offshore reefs where more fish were caught before moving down to the point although bass were seen on the surface and birds diving we could not catch them well apart from one Derek had one at around 3.5lbs. A total of 20 fish were taken

Another great trip

Well to round the weekend off Derek and I made our way to Karame where I took a fish of around 3lbs on a mother worm Then onto  Shearers run and to the reef further up into the lagoon. This reef has been fishing well just as it uncovers Today we had 7 fish there up to around the 4lb mark. All of these on Jersey wonder lures.

Moving onto the point about 40 minutes before low and took about 4 fish on the first drift the wind was making it very uncomfortable to fish. We took 27 fish over a period of time at the point and further away towards the big eastern rock. Derek had a fish of around 5lbs.

fantastic Weekend

I have been out with Derek during the last few days 37ft tides wind westerley 3-4 Yesterday proved great when we took 25 fish a number being caught at the point with the birds cirulating there The fish turning up around the low tide mark. Biggest fish yesterday was around the 4lb mark

Most were caught on homemade lures, Well today saw rain this morning but the wind was not too bad this time we had 39 fish the biggest being caught by me at 6.5 lbs whilst Derek had one around 6lbs We had 9 on a reef near the lagoon just as they were uncovering before moving onto the point where we took a further 28 fish The big ones were caught at low tide or just after whilst the others were caught off the point

Halloween Bass

popped out today on the high tide small tide but choppy. The wind dropping whilst we were out

The first fish fell to me and was around 3lbs it was caught on a snot green Jersey wonder in  towards Green island gutter.

Derek was not catching on his black shad so swapped to a white Jersey wonder and immediately took a fish around 2.5lbs.This was where we cut through from Greve D'azette to Green Island

He then took another one on the inshore reef at Greve D'azette

A pleasant Afternoon

a late decision saw us out for the afternoon on a beautiful afternoon. 32 ft tide slight northerly wind I decided that we should try some of the deeper marks and headed off the Demi where Derek had his 10lb fish

Derek was using a senko worm and cast out to hook a fish just over 3lbs. You could see another larger fish following the hooked fish up The next fish hooked was the larger fish taken on a white Jersey Wonder.

the fish weighed in at just over 5lbs I took a fish of just over 4lbs caught at twin peaks caught on a lime green jersey wonder Derek had one further fish of just over 3lbs

Bad weather and few fish

good tides and October should produce plenty of fish So Thursday I took a couple of hours off to go out with Derek.Despite a good forecast wind was southerly 4 with a heavy swell making it hard going even rough . We had 4 fish before giving up. Following day out with Derek at Seymour produced only 8 fish. I had a fish over 3lbs at the Oyster beds whilst there were a few in the Lagoon.

The Bass festival started yesterday with gusting force 7 winds making it difficult to fish. There is a report of a 7lb fish being caught.I have just received my bill for repairing my starter motor on my boat again. I do not know why it needs cleaning so often

Bad start to the day

arriving at La Collette to start a nice day fishing resulted in find that the engine would not start, more money. We then had to make do with our emergency boat or more correctly Derek's. Launching from Millards corner it was not long before I had 2 wrasse around the 2lb Mark. I then took a similar size bass at Micks cross through mark. I took another fish near Icho where I drifted onto rocks previously.

I think we had a total of 6 bass but a lot were small coming from the reef at he end of Green Island Gutter
This afternoon I have been making more lures this time a creamy green colour and  also a nice black one
