Tuna at Narooma?

Snapper in SA?

Port Phillip is dead as far as I have heard...
Still, 3 months to go and the snapper should be on the go...

Best mackerel season for many, many years here in the Whitsunday area.

Any size? I presume you mean Spanish Macks?

Sydney harbour seems to be overrun with Port Jackson sharks at present.
I got about a dozen at two spots near North Head on the weekend.

Let the lot go.

Cairns Qld. Coastal rivers are starting to fire up again after our '4 week'
winter. Temps are on the rise and fishing should only get better as the
mercury rises. Plenty of Trevally and Sickle fish around the Inlet, as well
as some monster Threadfin Salmon. I was spooled last weekend by a 10kg plus
Threadfin, had no hope of stopping it, even with 8kg. Ten minutes later I
had a 5/O hook totally straightened by what I think was either a BIG GT or a
monster Barra. Only saw it's dorsal fin and back lunge out of the water
while it was thrashing around 50 metres from the boat.

Darwin Harbour is hot and cold, a few smallish barra around the place,
looking promising for when the water warms up. The mud crabs are fussy, most
that went out last sunday only got one each, while a couple of weeks aho
7-12 was an average. Reef fishing has also been quiet so far.
