marker known as Big Mick. At around 10kg they made for a good bit of fun on medium to heavy spin 30lb gear or a 10-weight fly rod. I recently hooked a nice 105cm, 11kg on the long wand. A couple of days earlier, our local guide Jon put the hooks into a sol- id 116cm fish by drifting live baits between Wide Bay Bar and Inskip Point. Did we mention they make beautiful sashimi?
The spanish have been out in num- bers further up the beach from re- cent reports and 15-18kg fish were being caught in good numbers. Slow trolled live baits and skirted garfish worked well for the fishos. One of the local crew even landed a 35kg at the start of the month – and yes, we saw the picture of the scales so it wasn’t just a story – it was a slob of a spanish.
Well, that’s it from us this month crew – stay safe, stay healthy and keep washing those hands. We hope you all get out for an essential fish- ing trip in the coming weeks and catch a feed for the family. Find us at the Tin Can Bay Marina, Emper- or Street for all your boating and fishing needs.
Cheers and tight lines.
