GRAIG .. HAVING ONLY FISHED IN THE SEAWAY A COUPLE OF TIMES DO THE FISH SHUT DOWN OVER THE COOLER MONTHS? OR DO OUTHER FISH FREQUENT THE SEAWAY IN WINTER EG TAILOR AND BIG BREAM?

May 05, 2011 7:11:52 amRob, the fish feed differently during winter holding closer to the bottom. Theres still plenty of fish to be caught, GT’s, Tailor, Bream and Jewies mainly. Other species can show up as well such as luderick which will take lures on occasion. Daytime yields less fish for me though, especially when the seas are calm and the water is clear. Its worth looking at my reports from last winter(they started at the end of June) which will give you an idea.

Thanks for your report Rob, it was a tough day out on the water. The fish were not eating for the most part. They do seem to have shut down since easter, it could be the dropping water temps having an effect.
