Snapper fishing in Port Macquarie seems to suit a broad cross section of visitors from families & couples to the more experienced individual angler.
"We enjoy the 'thrill of the chase' and being able to take home fabulous tasting fish."
Snapper fish appear in the waters over the reefs in larger numbers from around the end of August to early January. They tend to decrease in numbers and size as the Summer ocean warms up returning again as things cool down. Outside these times we focus more on game fish in deeper depths such as marlin, kingfish, yellowfin tuna, mackerel and mahi-mahi whilst flathead gummy shark and pearl perch can also be found over the reefs.
It often takes the knowledge of a seasoned local fisherman to be know what fish are around and where to find them. Fishing technology can only do so much. We are fortunate enough to have 40 years experience of the Port Macquarie coastline and understanding the seasons is a valuable asset. There's a lot of ocean to explore.
What ever the season, there'll always be fish for the taking around Port Macquarie. Only rough seas and high winds will keep us out of the water.
The joy of fishing is in the challenge but a local guide can lead you to have more success.
Tight lines these Summer Holidays!
