Reef fishing

I did a couple of reef fishing charters since Christmas.  Fishing was pretty good, came back with a full box of fish. Some snapper, morwong and pig fish just some of the fish we caught.  The guys were fairly happy that they could take home some fish for dinner that night.

Hope to bring you some more great fishing news soon.

Can't wait for Port Stephens,  I will be going up for the Big Luhr's Billfish Shootout, a yearly event where first price will be $20,000 dollars, see attached link  http://www.npsgfc.com/.

Just a reminder that I will be up there for a few weeks and are available for charter.

Port Stephens February March and Arpil

Come and fish the beautiful waters of Port Stephens on the Aspro game fishing boat and experience the hot marlin bite in February, March and April. Multiple marlin a day is common in this area.  Numerous striped, black and blue marlin feed on the large schools of  bait fish just inside the continental shelf.  Contact Jeff via email asprofishing @bigpond.com or mobile 0414991865 to book your charter

 

Sunday 21st November Fishing Charter

Another perfect day in Batemans Bay. We met Wallace and five of his mates from Canberra, early in the morning, at the marina. 

We fished east of the Bay in 22 degree water, and there was a lot of striped tuna and bonito about.  About midday we came accross a pod of whales and dolphins, where the long corner bibless minnow was inhaled by a nice 30KG Yelllowfin tuna.  The boys were pretty happy with that.

There were a couple of marlin lost over the weekend by other boats. 

With the warmer water pushing down the coast we are expecting the fishing to improve over the coming weeks

Day out fishing with some friends

We left the Marina for a reef fishing trip up to Durras. There was Joy, Michael, Marg and myself on board. It was a perfect morning.  We saw a whale off North Head as well as some dolphins. The fishing was a little slow but we still managed to catch a couple of nice snapper, travalley etc.  Joy caught her first fish ever, a little beauty of a snapper.

Reef fishing trip. 6th November, 2010

I woke up to a miserable day, over cast, slight easterly breeze, and I had a charter booked.

The guys turned up and we left the marina at 6 am. We went out to 38 fathoms and started our drift for our reef fishing trip. It was miserable and drizzly rain, 15 knots of SW winds. We did no good on this drift so we moved to one of our other marks and caught some Snapper and Morwong. We had a few spot changes throughout the morning but fishing was sluggish, but at the end of the morning the guys took home a reasonable feed of fish. So all in all we had a successful ½ day out. There was a bonus for us all, when we sighted some whales, mother and calf, with the calf putting on a good arial show. We are now waiting for the albacore to turn up any day.

Welcome to Aspro Fishing's Blog

Hi, welcome to Aspro game fishing Charters, my world of fishing and my very first blog. I am based in beautiful Batemans Bay, part of the Eurobodalla shire on the south coast of New South Wales.

I enjoy going out on Aspro, which is a 40ft Black Watch cruiser. We go out for half day reef fishing or a full day game fishing. I supply all your needs, rods and bait, expert advice from the friendly crew, as well as morning tea, lunch and soft drinks. Marlin and tuna are our just some of the fish we aim to catch on a full day game fishing trip. Reef fishing is when we catch some of the smaller fish, snapper, morwong and flathead etc.

Sometimes we are lucky and see the odd whale, dolphin, shark or seal. That is just a bonus.
