Cormac has been out himself over the weekend and has had some great action in the estuaries. Cormac reckons that the big spring tides really get things going in the estuaries and, although fishing was difficult at times with the weed, persistence paid off on a number of occasions. The recipe for success was soft plastic lures just suspended over the bottom in the flow – old reliable tactics that work time and again.
As soon as the water started to flow in or out with the tide, the fish moved with it and the action kicked off. As the tides get bigger, the weed can become an issue – but it won’t be long before conditions settle again.
