While most fishermen pack away their rods for winter, Fishabout gears up for what we consider to be the best time of year to catch certain eating species such as Blackfish, Flathead, Jewfish, John Dory, Kingfish, Salmon, Sawtail Surgeon, Trevally, and more.

Day break on the Harbour can be cold and some of the sport fish might have followed the warm water North, but this is more than compensated for by an influx of superb quality table fish and greatly reduced boating traffic.

So what is the secret to successful winter fishing? Covering lots of options is a good start, so having a good variety of quality bait helps. We spread out a couple of live baits, some prawns, squid and pilchards. This way we are appealing to a wider variety of species and increasing our chances of getting a bucket load of fish. Generally we will catch a number of different species in the one session making for some sensational winter fishing!
