The October Fishing Report, Week One, Page Two 2006, Noosa, Queensland, Australia, brought to you by Alvey Reels Australia.

Laguna Bay came alive this week with Northern Bluefin Tuna making most of the fuss. Sunshine Beach angler Darren Johnston (right) was out at Jew Shoal on Wednesday morning when his live Yakka floater (caught earlier at Little Hall's Reef) was monstered by the 13.5kg 'Longtail' he's pictured with. Darren was armed with a Shakespeare Ugly Stik and a SureCatch Baitrunner reel loaded with 15lb line.

And local yak angler Ian Tagg (below) was paddle trolling a Mad Mullet lure behind his Perception Swing fishing kayak on Saturday morning when it got hammered by the 18kg Northern Bluefin Tuna he's posing with. Ian was towed around for over half an hour by this powerful pelagic before he could bring it on board his small craft. He was using a Penn 10kg rod and a Shimano TSS4 reel loaded with 25lb line and a 60lb trace.

DAVOS BAIT
AND TACKLE

With the school holidays in full swing the young guns were in and out of Davo's all week, weighing in their catch and stocking up on fresh and live baits. Local lad Marcus Nelson (below left) used a Davo's Pilchard to attract the attention of the 2.2kg 'Lizard' he's happily posing with. He was armed with a Silstar threadline combo loaded with 8lb line.

And Brisbane visitor David Dower (above right) was in and out of the shop so many times with his latest catches he almost filled up the memory card on the shop's digital camera. David had a marvelous time targeting Whiting and Bream in the Woods Bays but got his standout on Friday, a 700gm Bream on a lure, at the entrance to the Noosa Waters loch. He was using a Shimano soft plastic rod and a Shimano Sienna reel loaded with 6lb braid. His lure? A Halco Laser 45.
