FISHING REPORTS

Hi AllThis is actually getting boring. Not the fishing but writing about it. I’m trying to come up with something new to say about what’s been happening for the past month. I can’t. There are no new things to tell, no new info, no new hotspot, no new hot tips. Fishing in Barkley Sound has been and still is awesome!. Go where you want. Kirby, Whittlestone, Beale, Harbour Entrance, Swale rock, Fleming, Diplock, Pill point, The Wall, Brady’s Beach down …

Hi Folks I will ramble a bit later on in this report but let’s get to the good stuff first! It is still on! Fishing is beyond good. That said, it’s the middle of August and it is supposed to be good this time of the summer, however, I’m not taking that for granted. It’s been full on since the last week of July and I want to ride this out through till the end. It seems all the usual …

Hi Everyone My last couple of reports have been very similar, and nothing has really changed.

Hi All No stories, no addendums, no superfluous addons. Just the facts people! It is on! The fishing is fantastic right now. Going through my log books this has been the best fishing I can remember in late July early August. Call in sick, tell work you have covid or your grandpa passed away, again… Do what ever it takes. Get here now ! Fish Austin, Cree, Mears, Beale, Whittlestone. Run your gear at 35′ to 50′ and guess what? …

Ok, I am going to start with a veiled reference to a John Denver tune. Alright I get it, not exactly a ” get off your feet and shake your booty ” kind of performer but a couple of hundred years from now someone somewhere will be singing “Country Roads” around a campfire. I digress…. John Denver once wrote a song called ” Some days Are Diamonds, Some days Are Stones “. His song perfectly summed up my last two …

Hi Everyone It’s become a tough grind here in Barkley and the surrounding area. I know, I know… It’s not what you want to hear but you can count on getting the real facts at least. Here is what we can report: the Sound itself is pretty much empty, which has really been the case much of the season to start. There are fish still hanging around the periphery of the Sound but they have been in dribs and drabs …
