Fishing continues to improve gradually. Mackeral patchy. Sand fishing ok, with Rays particularily good. Limeburner still lagging. Doggies extremely bad – I imagine millions of dead Doggies on the seabed, but hope for the best. Sharks inconsistent – had zero runs one day despite great rubby dubby and very good weather conditions. Reef Pollack patchy. Not great, but some fairly good days & at least there are fish to be caught.

Fished a couple days for Blue Sharks – zero runs. It is hard to believe that they have naturally disappeared due to end of season. Could be the plankton has “chased” them away. Divers were getting very little light on the bottom due to plankton in the upper 25 metres. This is unnatural for here in August & September. Divers normally have loads of ambient light on the seabed. Divers also reported some areas good and others bad. Solution – divers reported on 22 September that the water temperature was 13 degrees – down 3 degrees in 4 weeks – hard to believe, but it absolutely explains what happened to the Blue Sharks.
