Game Fishing December… We took Zack an American who was basically a freshwater fisherman out on Saturday. He had had no experience at Game Fishing December off Sydney but was keen to give it a go. The sea was a little joggly as we left the heads but a hell of a lot better than … Continue reading Ambition Report 12th.December’22 → The post Ambition...

Fishing December 2022 How different can two years be? Though I can’t compare fishing December 2022 with December 2021 due to Covid and associated lockdowns. Below is a report from December 2020 to show what should be. In general so far this year the offshore has been pretty well non-descript. I did my first … Continue reading Fishing December 2022...

November Offshore:- It’s November offshore and it feels like forever since I have had anything to write about and I suppose in all fairness I still don’t have anything much to report. I will start by saying that I have never experienced the fishing off Sydney to be so bad for such a long … Continue reading Ambition report 16th. November’22 → The p...

Yellowfin. Well it did turn out to be a good day for Yellowfin. Not so much weatherwise though. We had a shot early for Kingfish but it must have been too early for them. We only had jigs and eventually managed to lose what seemed to be a good fish. So it was offshore we … Continue reading Ambition report 11th.September’22 → The post Ambition repo...

August Spearfish We went out on Sunday in ideal conditions. And after hearing of the results of those who fished on Saturday there was a degree of optimism. The last thing we expected was an August Spearfish. One for the boys… Boats out on Saturday caught Yellowfin from way wide of Heatons Northeast of Browns … Continue reading Ambition Report 28t...

Almark reef is 28 miles out of Port Stephens and is well known for holding good sized Kingfish as well as Snapper and the occasional Bar Cod. Almark is a Jigger’s paradise as anyone who has been there will tell you. I have fished the area many times over the years and at different times … Continue reading Almark → The post Almark appeared first on...

August Tuna August Tuna are when the Yellowfin are often found by both trolling and cubing. In fact a may be  caught right up and through to November. In fact some of the bigger fish are caught during summer when the ocean currents bring them and the bait inshore. After all the bad weather and … Continue reading Ambition Report 7th.August’22 → The...

Friday Due to the weather I’d been looking forward to getting out for a while now. What with the weather opportunities have been rare. But a last minute call on Thursday had us on our way.

Mahi Mahi Yesterday in perfect conditions I took Brian his father and his two young sons out fishing. They were visiting from America and wanted to experience Game Fishing.

Peter Goadby Rundown After much toing and froing about whether to hold the Peter Goadby Tournament over one or two days; the number of entries and the weather being the matters of contention the decision to go ahead was bravely made by President Karen at the last minute; it would be a two day tournament. … Continue reading Peter Goadby Rundown → T...

La Nina To say that this year’s ‘La Nina’ event has caused unmitigated disruption would be a monstrous understatement. Other than the floods and onshore destruction it has affected the fishery all the way down the coast. The flooding pushing water like mud out to the shelf and down the coast bringing down huge amounts … Continue reading Ambition r...

Fishing Port Stephens… Fishing Port Stephens was really tough this season. The main problem being the lack of bait the big schools of Slimey Mackerel were not on their usual grounds either inshore or offshore. Also along with the lack of bait the juvenile Black Marlin had not shown up in their normal numbers. Offshore … Continue reading Ambition R...

Port Stephens February’22 I have just spent 3 days 3 very different days due to the varying weather conditions fishing out of Port Stephens. On the first day last Thursday because the usual bait gathering areas were virtually devoid of bait I decided to go wide. Levi and Matty were keen to get out there … Continue reading Ambition report 17th.Febr...

The weather looked too good to pass up yesterday. That together with reports of Marlin and good-sized Mahi Mahi was enough for me to do a social day.

First of a Happy New Year to everyone and hopefully a Healthy one too. I went out finally after what seemed an eternity of bad weather.

I decided to stay in close for the first couple of hours for a couple … Continue reading Ambition Report 1st.January’22 → Th...

A couple of weeks ago there were some very lucky skippers who managed to get out during a break in the weather and found numbers of Striped Marlin and heaps of bait. Though that run only lasted a couple of days the few boats that have been out since have raised Marlin but because they … Continue reading Ambition report 26th.November’21 → The post...

To get back out to sea was indeed good for the soul. Though the relief was great the results left a lot to be desired at least as far as the Game Fishing went.
