Last week Dreaming On found good Blue Marlin in the wide areas raising 6 for 4. These fish appeared to be on the edge of a body of water 21-23'C. The following two days of fishing resulted in no sightings possibly because of hot water currents reaching the area previously fished. This week, Kekoa fished for Blues getting 3 from 4. Sea Probe report dirty water continues to plague activity for reef fishing particularly in the close in reef zones. Small number of spotty mackerel have been taken along with some Spaniards. Fish the Deep and Gone Fishing report reasonable size snapper have also been taken east of the Seaway.
South East Queensland Water Temperatures
24/1/11. Moderate to strong current 27>degree water out of the GBR / Coral Sea east of 154E. This movement is inside an oscillating current carrying a surface temp 25>26 degrees and sub surface currents of 23>24 degrees.
25/1/11. Slight current 27>28 degrees within 153E. Oscillating current moved further west inside 154E, surface temp 25> 26 degrees. Sub-surface current showing cooling water 22>24 degrees.
26/1/11. Warm current now being replaced with cool water 22 > 24 degrees. Oscillating current pushing inside 154E, pushing the warm surface water further to the south.
Outlook. If these conditions remain reasonably stable for t next 24 hours, a current stream from the GBR could replace the cool current with 26 > 27 degrees inside 154E.
