march april fishing newsletter report - HBS regular Ian with a good sized GT

March/April 2022 Fishing Report and Newsletter

March was a cracking month for the team at HBFSF with some mint weather among a few windier days. A second round of flooding rains saw a huge influx of bait with big predatory fish in hot pursuit. Big longtails, golden trevally, spanish mackerel, queenfish, broad bar mackerel and more rounded up the bait. Targeting these fish saw anglers get some new PB’s and got to experience the thrill of targeting trophy size fish.

January/February 2022 Fishing Report and Newsletter

Well what a past couple of months it has been, and a bit of a breezy start to 2022 to say the least. Windy conditions saw us lose a fair few days with gusty southeasters, often strong wind warning strength, keeping us off the bay. As we move forward to March and Autumn we should see the weather settle down and transition into those cooler autumn conditions we love.
