Welcome to this week’s edition of Tight Lines!
Squid time! That’s right, the squidding season is hotting up like the weather (finally). Either offshore over our shallow inshore reefs, along the beaches early in the morning, or along our rock walls and groynes heading into our estuary system. Our local squid tend to like smaller jigs than in some other fisheries. I tend to use 2.5s and smaller when fishing inshore, only using larger jigs out on the 5-fathom bank. As a rule, the lighter and brighter the day and the water, the brighter and more reflective your jig should be. And the opposite for the darker days with dirtier water. In this case, or at night, go with a darker jig. Our local yellowfin whiting season is also building. The lower morning tides can be challenging at times, so it pays to walk right out to the edge and cast over the step into the deeper water.

Bringing your lure up onto the flats with whiting trailing it from the deeper water makes for exciting times. It can also pay to flick a vibe around until you find the fish when it’s quiet. Once you have found them, going to the TW Miami Slippery Dog, with its strong UV tones, can be a way to unlock early-in-the-day surface strikes. Crays are well and truly into their moult phase, holding tight as their shells harden. We may start to see some activity from the 25th onwards. This weekend is also the Augusta Hezza World Champs comp, a two-day comp in search of the heaviest Hezza. There are several categories, and it looks like a whole lot of fun. Check out the Augusta Hotel Facebook page for more details.
