We have been fishing the Hacking the last few weekends and getting some pretty good results. Pull up in one of the deeper holes and you should do OK with the help of some burley. Over last 2 weekeends we have pulled out 2 Kingies, one 72cm and one 68cm, lots of Australian Salmon, Saturdays salmon was over 60cm. A few nice pan sized Snapper, an undersize Jew (40cm) with a big one lost near the boat and 1 Bonito.
Add to them a fair few bust offs (some wheile using 20lb line) there are defianately some good fish there.
Been atracting heaps of live bat, mainly pillies but also some Yackas and slimeys.
Keep heading out there and giving it a go, I wouldn't be giving up on the Hacking just yet.
