Water Temp for Threshers - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

aussiescott · 11-05-2008, 08:57 PM

Hi guys, Threshers are not normally a yak fishing target here in Australia. I have heard rumors that they are available off the coast from me. I have previously yak fished for the odd blue shark and seven giller and are wondering what is the ideal temperature range for threshers? I plan to troll small live squid, mackerel and also some CD rapalas.

Thanks Scott

I am unsure of the ideal temp, but we catch them here between 60 and 70ish

That's 15-21C.

I like dirtyish green water on the slack high tide.

Thanks heaps for the info guys. Those temps will be approaching in the next month or two and will coincide with the annual aero squid invasion so I may be in with a chance. If I have any love I will make sure I post up a report.
