    Report on-board Duke IV

    The summer species have arrived with good sport for Bass, Thornback Ray and Smoothounds. Mackerel now around in numbers some days allowing us to catch fresh bait for the Thornies!
    July is the time the large Bass arrive and their is no better bait than a large fillet of mackerel fished hard on the bottom, or fished live when the water is clear!
    Fish lugworm for the smaller Bass or Hokkias or white feathers when a school turns up!
    Smoothounds can be caught on lug squid cocktail while the biguns like whole squid!
    We are picking up some good Whiting and Pouting now on the worm and fish baits so plenty of species to aim for, just remember to bring a cool box with some ice packs to keep your catch in tip top condition while taking the fish home!
