    Fishing Weekend At Cowan Creek Area (suggestions Pls)

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    hey timmy,

    i done the same thing a couple of years ago with 10 mates for our schoolies trip. You wont be dissapointed.

    as telcobroker said jerusalem bay is a great place. At the entrance u can fish the holes for jews and flathead,

    further in to the left is pinta bay. Great place to get yakkas/squid/mullet and gars for bait. At the end of pinta bay are sand flats, u can pump nippers and play cricket on the sand at low tide. And ive had success further up the river at gunyah point recently for school jew up to about 4kg. Also, Troll bibed minnows up and down the shore around elenor bluffs during run up tide for tailor

    hope this helps

    Kingies In The Hawkesbury

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted · Edited by youon?

    Hi Raiders

    I was just checking out another Sydney fishing site (that's a BAD Mondo) and read a report from Tuesday of this week that quoted Pete Le Blang as saying that 'haulers in long punt boats' have recently been coming into Pittwater at night and have decimated the poulation of big Kingies. :1badmood:

    Has any Raiders heard or seen anything about this?

    Please tell me it aint so!!!

    Mondo

    hey mondo,

    i read the same thread the other day and was pissed to say the least............

    I've been out with pete on his charter and he was saying it happens all the time in pittwater. It's a real shame, and the same mongrels have a cry when the area doesnt fish as well for them as it did 10-15 years ago. My misius and i were on a houseboat last summer for a week and saw at least 4-5 pro boats a day in the hawkesbury. (We didnt catch a thing - probably wasnt all their fault) The worst of it is you go to the fish markets and see jewies that dont even pass for 40cm........ what a joke......

    Brisbane Water Hot Spots

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    Hi fishos,

    I'm trying to find other spots to fish in Brisbane Water, near where I live.

    I've had reasonable results in Narara Creek and off Noonan Point. Caught bream and school jew.

    But there must be good spots around Paddy's Channel, Davistown, Woy Woy and the Rip?

    I mostly use squid and mullet for bait, but I've been told chicken breast is best. Is this true?

    Any tips or suggestions much appreciated.

    check out these threads from last week if you already have'nt......hopefully they will prove usefull :thumbup:

    How To Tell If A Tree Has Been Poisoned?

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    :(

    A mangrove tree at one of my local fishing haunts has turned half brown and i can't see any reason for this to have happened when all the other mangroves seem healthy . Mangroves are pretty hardy as far as i know. Given its position and the removal of other bankside vegatation and need less De-snagging from the area I'm considering the fact that it may have been poisoned! I'm not interested in naming names or revealing the location at this stage as i may be wrong.

    I'm sure someone from the site will be able to tell me how you tell if a tree has been poisened? ie could you take a leaf sample and send it in somewhere to get tested, or would i need a branch, how long would the poison stay in the trees system. The last time I was there was around a month or two ago and the mangrove looked perfectly healthy then. I examined the base of the tree and there were a couple of holes, but it was too dark to determine if they were drill holes or knot holes.

    Cheers,

    Lizard

    Lizard,

    im not sure how to tell but i can say it sounds like it might have been poisoined. My holiday house is on the water front on brisbane waters. There are mangroves and gum trees in front of our house, but none which block the view. But the house to my left have huge gumtrees blocking the views and over the last couple of years the mangroves and gumtress seem to be dying off. No doubt from being poisioned to raise the value of the houses.

    It hase prompted Gosford City council to put up a sign saying tree and mangrove vandalism is a crime. And the fines reach $440,000 if your caught.....OOOuchhh

    Hitting The Hawkesbury This Weekend

    yep I've got Thursday planned, knock off work and head straight for the tackle shop to pick up the DVD, and spend Thursday night watching it and Friday night reviewing it (after we've attached the boat to the car and the gear to the boat!)

    When you say its been frozen fresh would frozen fresh bait have the same effect if I were to buy it from a local bait shop (in Penrith) or are we best off stopping at the store in Brooklyn and getting their bait? I dont know if theyve got different squid to whats availiable here or if its all the same just the freshness that differs?

    hey goofball,

    the dvd is great and relevent to all the places you fish....... they are all featured in the dvd and a pretty good watch. As for bait, if you live in penrith, you probably best of going to a fishing store in st marys. He has great fresh frozen hawkesbury squid. Its the only frozen squid baits ive seen where the eyes are still greenish/blue......i've also caught kings on said bait............ the bloke who owns the place made the jewfish dvd with greg joyes so he should be able to give you even more pointers. pm me if you want the web address.......good luck

    Hawkesbury Mud Crabbing

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    14 Muddies in 1 day!

    Mate, you must be kidding, I have targeted mud crabs in this area for a long time, they do exist but in the number you mention seem unrealistic.

    Its a shame your picture doesn't show the Hawkesbury, just a crate of well ties crabs.

    We all have great days out but for a haul like that the Sydney Fish Markets would be my call.

    Negative first post, but I don't like peolpe getting others hopes up for nothing, petrol is too expensive.

    I'd love to see you prove me wrong, maybe a few photos of the crabs with your boat on the Hawkesbury.

    1st post - nice one :thumbdown:

    Like most of the other blokes already told you must be fishin in the wrong place, and with negativity like that - rightly so - :thumbup:

    Action On The Brisbane Water And Surrounds

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    :1welcomeani: to the site bisso............

    hope you enjoy the site, i find it very useful and entertaining........... :thumbup:

    Anyways, i have been fishing brizzy waters for the last 5 years and only in the last 2 years have i really fished it alot. At least 3 times a month, and your exactly right, it is the cleanest it been and not to mention that the fishing is really starting to pick up in the last 2 years compared with other seasons, and i think its safe to say ??? that is due to the close on commercial fishing many years ago......

    Some of the areas that have been firing for me latley have been ;

    1. Rip Bridge - using fresh squid strips and chicken breast & parmasan cheese for big flounder eg.28-30cm, soapie jews, burley a must.....fish around tide changes coz otherwise it runs to hard

    2. All Channel Markers south of the rip, on the run out tides at dusk, big bream - action only lasts 15 - 20mins but its usally a fish a cast and they're usally all decent. Burley heaps

    3. Wharfs - Wagstaffe, Pretty Beach, squid on 1.5 yo zuri's in green, and burley up for livebait. eg. Yellowtail and mullet - your son should love catching those little bait fish and hopefully you can turn it into a monster jew or flathead..... :thumbup:

    4. Andersons channel - burley up and drift the channel useing a wide varitey of baits and sp's for best results

    especially for large flathead........ best on run out & around low tide change

    all the spots ive mentioned you can fish with your son and always produce a feed for me. Just need to gather some bait before a session eg. nippers, squid and as long as u use fresh baits all the spots should not dissapoint....hopefully.... :biggrin2: ps. use bigger baits as there are some pickers and these spots for the next month at least shouldnt see huge boats everywhere........ I feel your pain bisso as i fish the are in an 8ft tinney............. Good luck :thumbup:

    Hawkesbury Mud Crabbing

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    it still happens way too often,i live there and see 1 person in 1 boat (randon people) drop 20 pots in a row but with different names on each of them,i have told fisheries about it in the passed but have done nothing.a couple of weeks ago i counted 83 pots just where i live and you could imagine how i felt about that.i just hope every one is following the legal limits of 1 POT per person and only 5 CRABS.i catch a few crabs myself but never take too many and ALWAYS let the jennys (females) go which everyone should do to keep the stocks up.

    Thats a joke gav.......... :ranting2: i feel for u especially when its practically in your backyard......

    83 ??? and fisheries did nothing when u called it in ?? thats an even bigger joke. just like knapers i would serously consider cutting them loose too, especially since fisheries seem to be doing bugger all.......... :thumbdown:

    great catch mud_crabbing :thumbup: you deserve many beers for that effort :beersmile::beersmile:

    its good to see these mud crabs returning to the hawkesbury. They've been scarse to say the least over the last couple of seasons. This is "appparently" due to 2 clowns, who many years ago laid hundreds of traps between Bar point and wisemens ferry and continuously worked the are for about 6 weeks and nearly killed off the whold population.........

    Anyway, top catch.......... :biggrin2:

    Brisbane Water/pittwater

    The missus decided we needed a holiday :thumbup: so we decided to head up to her holiday house for a week of :1fishing1: (it great when the missus love fishing too) and relaxing on brisbane water. I also mentioned i wouldnt mind going on a charter for some kingfish (which i havent had the pleasure of catching before) so we booked a day out with pete leblang later in the week. We Went squiding every morning of the for an average of 2 large squid per 5 - 10mins after then we found them to move on.

    On monday decided to head out in the 8ft tinny to our secret bream spot in brizzy waters. Conditions were perfect for this spot to fire, Run out tide, last hour of light and rain had just stopped. We were there for only 10mins, And it did the missus caught her PB bream of 41cm :thumbup: it put up a decent fight too

    Tuesday we were on the palm beach ferry at 5:50am on the way to pittwater and boy it was rough. The swell was around 7-8ft and i was suprised this boat was coping so much and to top it off the winds wasnt sure if the fishing would be all that good. We were on the boat with pete at 6:30 and there squid were hard to find tried 3 spots and the last one worked a treat. Caught 5 squid and headed out after some kings.

    The wind and rain really did limit out spots and the kingfish were hard to find but after 5 hours of trolling one of the rods started to fire curving over in its holder. I grabed i was hooked on a king. I was so stoked but event more impressed after 4-5mins when i got him to to boat. He was only a rat coming in at 59cm and 3.5lbs. I was surprise he was so small and thought geez id love to catch a 90cm+ king ....... Imaging the fight.... :biggrin2:

    After he was tagged and released we went trolling for some more kings, coz the missus hadnt caught one yet. We were trolling over a wreck right next to a hire boat full of blokes about 30m away. Pete said would it be great to hookup right now, and speak of the devil the drag went wild and my missus grabbed the rod she was on to a king . After 5mins she was rewarded with a 57cm king, and all the blokes could only point :biggrin2: as she held up he fish. :yahoo: after we tagged and released it she said another 1 or two runs and i wouldnt have been able to hold the rod

    We had a great day with pete and on the :1badmood: worst day weather wise he found us fish, and i learned heaps and cant wait for the next king. The rest of week was quiet except for some tailor caught on cd11's around half tide rocks....

    All in all a great week fishing and my first king.... Tight lines to all

    We fished down there a couple of weekends ago for the Ausbream Social. The fishing was tough but there were still a few bream about. You just had to work hard for them.

    There were also pleanty of leatrher jackets and some good size tailor around. Throw in the odd salmon as well.

    Will you be bait or lure fishing??
