Elliston / Sheringa The Elliston jetty has had good catch rates of tommies and a few garfish, biting mostly on gents. Squid are also going well from the jetty, with best results using a quality jig accompanied by a pin jig or teaser line. Boaties heading out offshore chasing Snapper and Nannygai are doing well if using burley to attract fish. As for Salmon in the area; best results are coming from Sheringa with some decent fish being caught. The bigger Salmon are tending to be lone odd fish, with most of the schools within casting range being smaller 2kg fish. Locks Well is still hard to -
BURLEY IS ESSENTIAL Burley has been essential these past couple of weeks with many anglers heavily relying on it to find fish. Both boaties and land based anglers are finding that many species of fish are in scarce numbers during times of feeding unless burley is being presented. One thing to stress however, don’t use too much! Using too much burley can give your target species a good feed causing them to loose interest in your bait, as well as attracting unwanted by catch species in the area. The common species needing burley recently were King George Whiting, mostly crushed shellfish or a -
