Fishing has been absolutely superb these last two weeks. With great weather we had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time on the water, mostly at the 6 Mile bank (Blougansie) and at the 12 Mile bank, but we also had the chance to hunt cob on the shallow reefs.

Most of the trips were out to the 6 mile bank where plenty of yellowtail were shoaling. Most of the fish were caught while trolling small feathers behind the boat, but we also managed some fish on spinners and jigs. Both these last two methods were responsible for a lot of fun. Getting feeding yellowtail on a spinner and light outfit always produces exhilirating runs and lots of encouraging shouts from other anglers.

Jigging produces a totaly different kind of thrill. It is an amazing feeling when a yellowtail suddenly hits your jig and you know the fight is on. This form of fishing has been proven to be  deadly against yellowtail and normally produces the biggest fish.

On the days that the weather did not allow us to go fish at the further banks we had to look for our fun closer inshore. Here we managed some excellent catches of nice sized cob and a few younsters had the thrill of catching some nice sized fish.
