Deep sea fishing co noosa located noosa marina tewantin Great weather and great fishing lately as per usual out off Noosa, considering we are in the middle of the moon phase its been pretty good plenty of fish comming over the side. **hidden content**

With the weather looking good on Monday we headed out with Michael and his son Max to see if we could find some Kingfish or one of those elusive Yellowfin. Up until now the ‘fin haven’t showed up in numbers off Sydney. However occasionally fish are turning up in just enough numbers to get you motivated. We went out over the twelve mile without marking anything substantial so with the upcoming Southerly change in mind decided to go wide while the weather was good and have a shot at the Kingies on the way back. I must say we covered a lot of ground, trolling North to the ‘Bait Station’ then out to a thousand fathoms. In all that travelling we only saw a school of Striped Tuna some Dolphins and Whales as well as some big splashes I assumed might be tuna but it was anyone’s guess. I could see the clouds building up to the South and since we were nearly thirty miles from home I turned to head for the twelve mile. When trolling on a glassy ocean in a following sea on a bright sunny day with the drone of the engines lulling you into a trance it is quite a start when a ratchet starts screaming as it did in about nine hundred fathoms East of Browns, it was a startling wake up call. Max took the rod and was put to work by this fish, as Yellowfin do. I must say for someone who had never used this sort of gear and never been Game Fishing before he handled it well, very well indeed. After a good twenty minutes of hard work he brought it to the boat where we gaffed it to his relief and amazement. Tight lines, Ivan

Welcome to Ambition Game Fishing Charters Sydney where Spring gives promise of Summer's arrival... SEPTEMBER to DECEMBER : During these months the offshore waters start to warm up. However there are still winter species around. It is a good time of year to target Yellowfin and Albacore. The Mako and Blue sharks are still around Browns Mountain and wider out. Around the inshore and offshore reefs Kingfish ( American Yellowtail ) are taking up residence. Jigging and live baiting being the best methods to catch them. Schools of smaller generally undersized Kings can be found close in to the rocks around the Heads and at various other Headlands. By November the warmer water has moved closer inshore and the first of the summer sharks turn up i.e. Hammer Heads, Tigers and Whalers just to make life more interesting. Slimey Mackerel and Striped tuna start appearing along the shelf attracting more of the pelagics, Striped Marlin though present all year become more common as well as Mahi Mahi, the bigger ones often arrive in November before the school fish take up residence around fish traps and FAD's. We will on occasion also find the bigger Yellowfin Tuna in the warmer currents. The warmer currents continue to move in through December. Generally towards the end of December and usually around Christmas or Boxing Day the first of the Black Marlin show up. The Blacks are generally smaller fish but what they lack in size they more than make up in numbers out wider, over the continental shelf Striped Marlin become more prevalent with the occasional early season Blue Marlin crashing the party.. What I have described is a very general overview of what may be expected on the East Coast of New South Wales. As I have mentioned the currents are very fickle so finding the fish that travel in them is a matter of observation, perseverance and knowledge of what and where the currents are. At Ambition, we offer fishing charters off Sydney and surrounding areas. So contact us today to find out more about the current conditions and what to expect. Tight lines, Captain Ivan
