Reports may be hard to pry right now as Bod stated ,
mostly due to not alot of pressure right now , which is good !
don't get discouraged , trust me , the fish are there to be had , they always are , you need to move around , right place , right time will win ya the Derby !
tides are not that important , weather is , when it's calm , get out there , Iv'e hit them in the middle of the day , middle of the tide...
popular spots ,Kirby ,Whittlestone to Brady , Whistebuoy , Sarita ,Vernon , Diplock , East Broken Group , are all fairly reliable
im sure thers more , im a bit of a rooky compared ta most of you in the area , but slowly catchin on , I mostly fish the inner Sound ,
advice ! just cause there are 3 or 5 or whatever amount of boats hammering a specific spot , DON'T assume that this is where ya shoulb be , move arround !! if needed, most fish will be in 100 - 200 feet of water , ur gear should be within 10 -20 feet of the bottom , most of my fish are hit between 100- 125 on the counter , if ur not seeing much bait , dont waste too much time , get outta there , move to another area
SMALL Spoons are money in the bank ,Greens- Blacks..... but ,more about locating the fish ,there not that picky !
rubber n chovy's can light up too....bring it all...
hope this helps a little BlueSea , you will have a blast, Don`t Worry... most are worried about having enough beer in the boat than getting back to the scale ..
