Sorry that the report has been a little late - internet problems - all fixed now. (Until next time!)
School Holidays are fast aproaching, and that means crowded boat ramps and secret spots crowded with people.
Take a deep breath and stay cool. No point in stressing yourself. Now is the time to try new spots on the river, fish places that you normally pass by. You mat find a 'new secret spot'. Also, try using burley to bring the fish to you - it does work.
G'day guys
After hearing good reports about jacks being around, Adam, Jack and I fished an overnighter a few days ago. Jack and I managed to land a jack each, with Jack's being the biggest.
It measured a respectable 48cm. Adam and I also got on to a nice school of big eye around Woods Bay. Also added to our list was my PB whiting 35cm and a juvenile barracuda.
Cheers,
Aden

Liam's dad - giving fishing lessons once again. Keep an eye on what he is doing Liam, because he is obviously doing something right!
Hi my name is Suni. I went out fishing on saturday and caught this 45cm to the fork big eye trevally at the woods early in the morning and this 43cm to the fork tailor also at woods.
Hey it's Liam again,
Once again a good weekend's fishing - Well for my dad. Just a few picks of the fish that were caught and released.
We started on Saturday afternoon at about 4pm and we were flicking into the jettys at Woods Bay when my dads 'ghost shrimp'got nailed by this cod. After short but tough battle it was landed it measure 45cm. It was released unharmed.
We also landed a few little Moses perch. We than drifted down into the main part of the Woods where all the boats are, and my dad flicked an 'X-Rap'and hooked a tailor that was also realesed. The fishing was getting slow and the light was slowly fading so we decided to head up to weyba creek to see if any jacks would hit.
We were fishing for about 15-20 mins when a feeding frenzy started. We couldn't quite see what they were. Dad was using an 'X-Rap'and I was using a 'Savoy shad'. My dad hooked up and landed a 33cm jack. He was stoked. We released that and kept fishing for a furthur 10 mins before dad's x-rap was monsterd again! This 75cm flathead that was easy a couple of kilo. It tooked about 5 mins to revive her but she swam eventually.
The fishing died down after that so we decided to call it a night.
We headed out early on Sunday at about 4am it was boiling up but nothing decent was hitting the lures. After a few Moses we headed up Weyba to fishing the flats for maybe a few whiting on popper. I was working my popper over a shallow weed bed - a few hits but nothing taking it. That was it for the day.
The lures/soft plastics we were using were gulp ghost shrimp in mango ripple colour. gulp 2 inch shrimp in molting, banana and new penny coulours. rapala x-rap, cultiva savoy shad, bubble pop 35.
bye for now
Liam
