Report on fishing at St.Helens over Easter 2011

Fished Sunday afternoon with Glen Round in Georges Bay and had a ball catching cocky salmon and some mackeral on soft plastics. The fish were feeding on white bait, caught most in bay near the scout hall. My brother Steve caught a couple of trevally behind oyster leases also on softies. Today fished with Glen, Steve & Bailey and headed out around 9.30am and fished till around 1.30pm. We fished south of St.Helens Island and down to Pulfers reef and caught a few striped tuna in 50 mts of water,they certainly were in close. We also got onto some nice flathead, gummy shark, morwong, barber perch, wrasse and gurnard We lost a good striped trumpeter which was disappointing. A couple other mates fished on the shelf and caught some albacore, gemfish and blueye trevalla,albies only small. The water temp on the shelf is only a bit over 16 degrees. It certainly has dropped. We hope everyone had a good Easter.
