Latest News - September 2010.

G'day folks,

Make sure you get a copy of this months NSW Fishing Monthly magazine. Great reports from all over NSW, and yours truly on the cover with a crackin JB red. If you want to learn how to catch snapper on plastics then pick up the phone and call me today.

NEW HOBIE KAYAK GUIDED FISHING EXPERIENCE- We're putting the finishing touches on our Hobie tours. We'll have a fleet of Hobie Pro Anglers and Hobie Sports for kids with short legs! Maximum groups of 3 anglers in shallow calm water. Stay tuned for more soon.!

Make sure you pick up a copy of the August edition of Fishing World Magazine. We have our first feature article and we're absolutely stoked about that. We also recently appeared on an episode of "Hook Line and Sinker" aired on Ch 10 and Pay TV, had a good chat to Dave Buttfield on radio who will be coming down to film a segment on the Basin soon.

Check out "Bream on surface poppers", the latest instalment of the "Fishing the Edge" segments we've filmed with Guesty in the Basin.

Spring is in the air here on the beautiful south coast of NSW and now is the time most tuned in fisherman will notice the wattle blossom on the trees so we should see the fish become more active any day now.I'm really excited about the fact that fish will start to look up to the surface for prey. Give me a surface bite any day. The last two weeks have certainly see a big improvement after a few mild days.Big flathead will also come on the chew soon so pack your “croc gear” and make sure you return all large flathead to the water. Our policy is every flathead 60cm and above goes back because they’re breeding females.July to September are also about good snapper in close due to the giant cuttlefish ending it's 18mth reproductive lifecycle. Big reds will come in close to feed, in fact they will also feed up near the surface so if you see a fresh cuttly that appears to be bobbing around throw out a lightly weighted plastic or bait and hang on. Whilst guiding clients in Jervis Bay recently yours truly managed to catch and release a 72cm model in 5m of gin clear water within spitting distance of the shore. The power of these reds in shallow is unbelievable. After a big weather event exercise caution and hit the washes and gravel to 30m for some great snapper action.By far the hardest estuary species to catch on lures would be the "Jewfish" or "Mulloway". Late September into November are a great time to have a crack at a Jewfish on plastics in both the Shoalhaven and Clyde Rivers. I'm also offering late afternoon and evening sessions targeting Estuary Perch (EP's) on plastics.

Since the banning of kingfish traps over a decade ago now we are starting to see big Kings become a viable winter and Spring force to be reckoned with as the bigger fish congregate on the deeper reefs to 100m. Areas around the banks have been producing fish to 20kg of late with plenty of crew getting smoked on 80lb braid. Having said that, fish around the metre mark were taken recently by crew fishing with Angelo from Jervis Bay Fishing Charters with 20lb braid on 3-6kg rods and 5000 sized reels in 100m of water! amazing effort.To book an offshore trip to the "Banks" call Angelo directly on 0412 506 422, or click here.

TACKLEWORLD CANBERRA FISHING & BOATING EXPO SEPTEMBER 17-19 - Come along and say G'day at the Tackleworld Canberra fishing & boating expo. Lots of great bargains and a boating safety course to get your boat licence just in time for summer. Also hear talks from the Squidgey creator Kaj "Bushy" Busch , and Strikezone TV's Al McGlashan. I'll be doing talks on St George's Basin and Jervis Bay.

Call Tackleworld Canberra on 6280 4530

For the locals don’t forget the Culburra Bait and Tackle fishing expo coming up soon. Guest Speaker will be Kaj “Bushy” Busch. His words of wisdom are gold so get along for that one. Call Scotty at Culburra Bait on 4447 2087.

Jervis Bay Marine Park rezoning (JBMPA). For those of you who like to fish Stony Creek to the south of the Bay you will need to get off your behind and get your submission in by the 17th of September 2010, or potentially Stony will be re-zoned sanctuary zone and no fishing. The park is required to undergo a review of the zoning plan after 5 years (now), and the new plan will be put in place for a ten year period so it’s important that all fishers have the point of view heard. Options other than Stony Ck are available such as north of Crocodile Head, in fact the current Croc Hd sanctuary zone could be re-opened. For more information contact the JBMPA on 4428 3000, or preferably go online to complete your submission at www.mpa.nsw.gov.au
Do it now!

That’s it for now. See you on the water some time.

Tight lines and good times.
