Summer has gone, but it just means shorter days and less time to fish. But the fishing can still be hot.
There are plenty of fish you can target and large ones at that. Jumbo Southern bluefin tuna abound and deep water fishers can load up on delicious bottom fish such as trevalla, gemfish, rays bream, hapuka and more. Inshore there are still plenty of bream, Australian salmon and calamari to name a few. There is no sea breeze to worry about, but that doesn’t mean it’s not cold. So rug up.
The shorter days mean less fishing hours on the water, so make sure you are well prepared before heading off for a fish. Be even more vigilant about informing people where you are going and when you should be home. If you have any dramas you may end up trying to resolve them in the dark.
