Hi Fishing family
Hope everyone is keeping well over the Easter break. Remember to drive safe out there on the roads.

On the Fishing front we have some exciting news.

Here we will show you 2 fish caught on the same day each being an absolutely beautiful fish. 1 went 72cm to Paul (in the bucket hat) & not be out done Andre (in the cap) (the giant) follows that up with a 75cm snapper 😍. Both incredible. On top of that we Landed 4x 60cm snappers and 12 over 50cm. Was one of those days we everything just fell into place. Like a gift from the sea God himself.

The Fishing is very hot at the moment and weather permitting allowing us to get where I want to go. We have seen in the last month plenty of snapper 60cm & over with lots of 70s & I'm sure everyone remembers the 80cm.

The fish currently are feeding hard & aggressive with lots of fish been caught.

Best baits are always pilchards & mullet. And I'm getting more vocal to the squid lovers. But unfortunately, squid will get you lots of baby fish. So, bring pilchards & mullet or other fish.

Right now, the thing everyone wants to see the FISH!!! 🤩

And remember
Check your baits regularly
& most important
You have to have FUN

Love you all Frostyboy

Hi fishing family
How are you all?
Hope everyone had a great Easter

On the fish front
Fishing is very hot this time of year with fish holding in most locations.

Fishing has been very hot for us weather permitting.

With some serious fish being caught. Here are 2 caught on Monday just been. 65cm & a 75cm. Both taking pilchards. As always pilchards & mullet are performing best.

With these smaller tides we keep getting, the fish will feed slower & lazy, so just take Xtra time & or move around looking for current if you're not getting onto them.

The anchovies have moved out further into the gulf with work ups happening periodically around if you can find them.

There is still sightings of the yellow fin in the gulf so keep an eye out for them.

The weather is still warm with the temperature holding great.

So, remember
Check your baits regularly
Move around if you're not getting keepers

And most importantly
REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN!!

Love ya all
FROSTYBOY

We are looking forward to more photos of 61cm snapper from the Family Fishing Charters this week.

We love that these are so popular and there are adults that want to take children in their life fishing with us, possibly as their first fishing or boat fishing experience.

The biggest fish caught by one of the kids out of both days will win a new fishing rod! kindly donated to our skipper with some other spot prizes. Thank you to the donar for these prizes, we feel very lucky to be able to hand these out.
