2 Hours of GT Fishing
Made a special effort to get out there and have a go for the GT's and we did OK, managed 3 Gt's between 62 & 68cm. We didnt get on the water until about 10am thanks to some traffic jams and had to get off the water at 12 so it was a very quick fish. Good fun with only a few other boats around thanks to the weather (rainy). There's some other fishing feeding on those white pilchards as well, some kingfish and some long skinny chrome sided fish that wouldnt hit a lure, probably tarpon. Absolutely tons of bait in there at the moment. Successful lures were 20 gram twisties and 15 gram gillies.

Hi Kane, not sure how long they will stay around for, last year they only hung around for a week. this year they have been there for at least a month so far. Just got to make the best of it while it lasts.

Hi Rob, live squid would be a top bait for the seaway, kingies, mulloway and big trevally would love them.

Hi Craig Ive been chasing those GTs the last couple of days I saw you and your dad there today. I didnt get there until 11( i was in the old grey gutted out glastron bowrider straight from the 60s ) only got to see a couple of bust ups but wasnt quick enough to get a lure into them.They only seem to stay up for a short time, do you think the boats racing up spook them? Were they busting up the whole time this morning as we saw no action after about 1130.
Great job on running this site it contains some awesome info for a novice like me Cheers GRETSCH-

Hi Gretsch, I’m not sure the boats spook them(although it probably doesnt help), I just think that they only feed for short periods then go down until they round up the next school of bait. Apparently they started busting up around 9am, but they weren’t consistent there were plenty of 10-15 minute breaks between the bustups. By 11.30 things were definitely tapering off.

Hi Nick, Definitely seems to be less bigeyes and not much in size either around this year, but definitely more GT’s than last year. Haven’t seen any big mactuna as well, best I’ve seen would have been 4-5 kilos. Just one of those things I guess. Plenty of bait around so it’ll be interesting to see if the salmon show again.
