Chinook III Charter Fishing Report – September
This week has seen a real change in the weather with much colder conditions pushing in, however this has also coincided with an influx of cod which are very early but very welcome. These fish are turning up everywhere although best of the fishing is close inshore, some of these fish are up to 7lb and are in super condition. The best baits for these have been decent sized Lugworm and Squid baits.
There are a lot more thornbacks of all sizes everywhere including very small ones which is a good sign of healthy stocks. These thornbacks are pushing inshore to most areas and should be with us right through into the new year.
There are more whiting starting to show now too and these will increase in numbers rapidly as we get nearer October, even though they aren't every anglers favourite they can often provide some good sport on quiet days, with Lugworm and Mackerel cocktails picking out the better specimens.
There are still a few smoothounds around inshore and offshore, however these are smaller male fish, which have been landed whilst targeting other species using worm and squid baits. Even though traditionally we are coming towards the end of the smoothound season, these fish will be here for a few more weeks yet.
There are some bass around with the best reported at over 8lb, these fish will soon depart the Estuaries before the water gets colder although some schoolies will hang around until the winter.
The piers and beach marks have been producing well for codling, whiting, bass and odd thornbacks, these inshore marks will fish well over the next few weeks as more winter fish start to push inshore.
Prospects are excellent with hopefully our best winter fishing for a long time.
