LOCAL ROCKWALLS Reports of Tailor to 30cm and mulloway to 15kg being caught from behind the Fishermen's Wharf rock walls.

TW Gero crew have been flicking soft plastics along the harbour walls recently and have been finding lots of small hard fighting fish readily hitting the plastics.

Guys fishing the northern rock walls have told us of good catches of school sharks after dark.

NEW MARINA & FISHERMEN'S WHARF

We have heard more reports of Cod to 40 cm being caught from inside both the local harbours.

Small Tailor are plentiful along the ocean walls with small metal and hard body lures working well.

We also were told of a nice little Golden Trevally that was caught by a young lad fishing squid baits off the jetty in the new marina.

There was another Golden Trevally caught from the jetty by our good mate Craig a few weeks back. (pictured below)

Other anglers fishing mulies off the new marina jetty are telling stories of continually hooking up to solid fish and getting busted off.

BEACHES

GREENOUGH FIRST AND SECOND POINTS -

Tailor to 50cm are being caught on ganged mulie baits from the first and second points most mornings.

RIVERS

GREENOUGH -

Bream to 38cm have been caught on prawn baits up near the mouth.

Mangrove Jacks are becoming a regular capture for anglers fishing around the rock bars and tight snags further up river.

We have seen photos of Jacks being caught that are well over 40cm the past couple weeks.

Devlin's pool has produced Bream to 30cm, fishing after dark has been extremely quiet with bites near on nonexistent after the sun goes down.

Anglers are still reminded that the Greenough River is a very unhealthy healthy system and most fish species are carrying red spot disease at this time. It is not advisable to eat any fish out of there until further notice.

PRODUCT PLUG -

Sea Ride Blue Blue -

Blue Blue fishing brand from Tokyo have designed a very unique jig that is designed for the casting and jigging game.

These jigs come pre-rigged with top quality micro flashing assists attached via a split ring to the head of the jig. Normally with most casting jigs the weight is located at the rear however with SeaRide the majority of the weight is located at the head aiding to create the erratic actions it displays. The finish is also top notch with a variety of colors to choose from.

Another brilliant feature about these lures is that they be cast out and fast retrieve back, which creates an erratic side-to-side action, which is irresistible to the apex predators. So therefore, this lure is two lures in one with the slow jigging as well as the fast burn retrieve.

Blue Blues Sea Ride are not just limited to casting but can also be used for vertical jigging with extremely effective results on species such as Skippy, Snapper, Cod, Dhu Fish, Sampson Fish, Mackerel, Tuna, Coral Trout etc, Sea Ride Blue Blues have proven very popular with offshore jig fisherman.

Sea Ride jigs are designed with the latest in slow jigging technology with its amazing slide action, these jigs glide erratically through the water column like a soft plastic. These jigs are perfect for inshore and deep sea fishing and are used best when there is little or no run. The Sea Ride have a very unique "dolphin action" like no other lure in the world. When you slightly twitch upwards and retrieve, this creates the unique "dolphin" swimming action which is irresistible to many fish.

If you are into jigging in any way, then these are a must have for your jigging wallet.
