Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
Westernport Bay has been producing some solid winter snapper for anglers putting in the time to target them. There are reasonably good numbers of fish around at the moment, but they are very finicky with what they are eating and when. Most of the fish that are being encountered by anglers are from Corinella around the top end to about Yaringa. The Corinella area produces large fish every year right through winter until early in the season. Staff member Harley has spent some time out investigating the top end of the Port and while he has seen lots of groups of fish, they have been picky in feeding. Harley has caught fish to around 5kg on various different baits. Harley has found the smaller tides more effective, with water depths of around 8m best. Harley has had success on couta, pilchard and squid during his last few sessions, with most of the snapper picking very tentatively at the baits before screaming off with them.
Customer Jacob has also been giving the late winter snapper a crack, further around towards Corinella. During the week Jacob picked up a cracker on fresh squid in around 10m of water. Young angler Caleb was out fishing around Lysaughts recently when he picked up this nice snapper of 6.3kg. Caleb caught the fish in 15m of water while doing some mixed specie fishing, not a bad snapper for winter!
