One of the best marlin bites in years is at present with vessels reporting seeing over 40 fish in a day and plenty bait ball activity. The heat of the bite has pushed further north above Tuross Canyons but in saying that a few fish popped up out the front in the past two days also. Some nice Yellow Fin Tuna on the 1000 fathom line for those dedicated to the cube. Kings have settled but some good in close reef fishing for Snapper and Flathead with the odd sizeable Gummy are worth pursuing off the Step.

The solid marlin bite continues with good numbers of fish seen and tagged in recent days. Even this morning Crusty had a double hook up whilst 'She's Left' has 1 from 2 all by 10am and they hadn't even made it to Tuross. So we will see these fish out the front now. Kingfish and good Snapper remain apparent at the Island and in close south to Goalen Head. Flathead fishing was very slow for many but they have returned to the chew off Camel, The Step and Cemetery in recent days. All estuaries are loaded with bait and good sized garfish have been readily taken by some. Salmon and Bonito remain of the headlands. The Bonito are smaller at present. Tailor and Bream remain catchable off the beaches. It moving in to tuna time and fish to 20kg have been taken on the 4 Mile Reef. We will overlap now into tuna's but are most likely to see the good marlin bite continue also.
