Warmer water is starting to push into the lower areas of the gulf and, in doing so, bringing a lot of baitfish into the middle and lower regions. Sailfish are and trevally are mostly being found at this stage in waters between the far upper parts of the gulf and the Muiron Islands. Reef fishing enthusiasts have been doing well on a variety of species including coral trout, rankin cod, goldband snapper and saddletail seaperch. Jimmy Small and Sam Crock caught coral trout, jobfish and a 28kg spanish mackerel during a recent session off the west coast.

Shore based

Giant trevally are occasionally being caught on poppers and stick baits at Oyster Reef in evenings. Old Bundegi is worth a visit during an incoming tide for queenfish, trevally and giant herring. Bluebone and spangled emperor are frequenting the reef areas near the lighthouse. There are still whiting and a few squid being caught along the gulf beaches.
