Chinook III Charter Fishing Report – August

This entry was posted on 23rd August, 2016

The fishing over the last fortnight has improved with the start of the autumn influx of thornbacks.

There have been good numbers of Smooth Hounds showing, these bigger female hounds are coming off the shallow water and are on their way out of the Estuary soon, however there are plenty of the smaller male hounds and these will be around until well into October.

There have been several good bass reported with some over 10 lb, these fish will be around well into the Autumn, September is a good time to catch these hard fighting fish as they shoal up before heading off for the winter, best baits are lug, rag and squid.

There are a lot more Thornbacks starting to show up, these smaller fish will spread to all areas during the autumn and will stay until after the New Year, depending on how cold it gets.

There are a few whiting starting to show, these fish will steadily increase in numbers as we get into the autumn with the Cod arriving around early October although the exact timing is dependent on water temperature.

Prospects are excellent with the next few weeks providing a real mix of summer and autumn fish.
