Fishing Report October 2020

 Fishing Reports

Once again we had a predominately windy month so there wasn’t a lot of activity in the angling department. Most local reports for the area were suggesting things were pretty good but I’ve had few success stories come in from our Club.

 Peter (Jaffa) Kafka et al reported some success with the bream from the creek in North Creek Road just past the Oyster Farm but I haven’t seen any proof by way of photos so the sizes might be questionable. Ken (Miss’em) Jones took his grandson down to the same spot to show him what to do and I understand the boy gave him a lesson in how to catch flathead.

 Commodore Barry and First Mate Pam have been the most successful by boat fishing the main river with yabbies, but once again I haven’t been privy to any photos to confirm the numbers and sizes.

 I understand Paul (Ice Blocks) Ison is keen to take some of us beach fishers up to Casuarina where he guarantees we will catch some tailor. We’ll see what comes of that.

 Club Meetings

We held an unsuccessful meeting of the Fishing Club on the 23^rd with only a few members turning up so we tried again on Thursday 29^th with a bit more success. We are keen to get members to team up and find fishing buddies so they have someone to join them on fishing jaunts. We suspect a number of members would like to go but don’t quite get around to it. If we had members teaming up we might get more fishing action.

 To this end we decided to have a BBQ (including wives and partners) at the Oasis to talk amongst ourselves and see what we can organise. This will be held on Monday 9^th November at 2.00pm for anyone interested in attending. 

You would be most welcome whether you are a Fishing Club member or not.

BYO supplies and drinks and give me a call if you need any further information (0412 663 872).

Report on the Sinkers

Not much to report as we are pussycats when it comes to a bit of windy weather. We have caught a few bream and flathead from the beach at Flat Rock but nothing to write home about. I understand Patches and Missus Patches and their team have had similar results so all in all we couldn’t say it was a successful Month. We had one go at the crabs in the drain but apart from Hammerhead and myself being absolutely hammered by the midges we had nothing to report from that little venture.

Tip of the Month

I thought I might report any useful (or otherwise tips) I get during the month so here we go for October.

Roger Ramjet (alias Stingray) told us about these fantastic new soft plastic lures that the flathead just can’t resist. After searching every bait and tackle shop in the Region we finally found out that you can only get them over the net. Anyhow the Sinkers all chipped in some of their hard-earned and bought a few packets of varying sizes. Sorry to say that we only found one little undersized flathead that found them irresistible. Thanks for nothing Stingray!

 Cheers till next Month
