Last Report :
Probably the key word to describe
the gamefishing season off St.
Helens recently has been quality
not quantity. The weather over
the past 2 weeks has settled
into a very good pattern maintaining
good sea surface temperature
from 17 C to 19 C. The highlight
last week was the arrival of
yellowfin tuna in excess of
70 kgs - world class gamefish
in anyones language. What is
interesting is the yellowfin
are also being caught as small
as 6 kg to 45kgs. Albacore are
tending to be scattered but
are averaging 6 -10 kg. On Monday
our team aboard Saltshaker captured
an albacore weighing 21kgs.
Striped marlin have proved elusive,
however an 88kg one was captured
yesterday. The good fishing
has very much been scattered
from only a mile off St. Helens
to 20 mile out, which has added
a degree of difficulty in deciding
where to go fishing for the
day. Bait schools continue to
be moving in especially in areas
such as the inshore reefs and
redbait especially. Artificial
lures that have been working
well include black magic (sauri),
meridian saltshaker(4 inch lumo),
pakula ouzi, zuker. The standard
of fishing at present suggests
this weekends St.Helens Gamefishing
Classic should see some quality
gamefish encountered.

The Tuna and Marlin start to
come into the St.Helens area when the water temperature begins to rise during
the summer and autumn months. There are hotspots where temperatures are warmer
than other locations where many of the fish are found in abundance. With the help
of the new map from CSIRO we can point and click to find out the water temperature.
