Great catch, itching to get out now

The old fella doing the kayak hire showed me pics of some bass he pulled out of the fresh water side a good 50cm specimen. He said there in their but not in big numbers

Cant be too long now. The BOM website is showing warmer water passing the harbour. Another 2-3 weeks and rats should be comming in. Problem is they will be feeding on small bait, making them hard to entice. But not to long now

Maybe in a decade or so the harbour might reside some hoodlems like that!! I hope

Caught multiple school jewies there, also some decent whiting and luderick

Same here. Got squid and yakkas with the hope of a Kingy but to no avail, the water is still at a chilli 16 degress in the harbour, went 2nm miles from the colours where it it hit 17 degress. Only captures i saw where a few boats chasing salmon/tailor/bonito in the washes of North head and some bird activity around South Head towards the colours. Cant be to long now until the warm water currents hit the harbour.. I Hope

No luck at all today tried to get squid all day pretty much ended up with 3 micro squid (5-6cm hoods)

I'll let you know by tomorrow arvo. Good luck

Great fish mate. Always good to see a report on our freshwater natives

Mmmmm.... VB.. Nice bream

Nice work mate, and thumbs up for going wide in your open tinnie its something i wouldn't do personally. How far out do you go out? Never fished for dollies, might have to give them ago now that the jackets a here and the kings are scarce. Anyway always look forward to your next report Tight Lines

They are in your usual spots but i have noticed they are more tide orientated. For our spots anyway

Quick report, went out Tuesday morning arriving to our squid ground at around 10am managing to bag 5 squid in half an hour, all squid nudging 30cm hood length. With enough bait we headed to our first location. Sat there for an hour without a nibble so we then moved to spot B only managing one small amberjack and lossing a fish on sluggos while casting at surface action. We then went back to our original location as the tide started comming in and we ended up catch a huge bonito, 3 kings (biggest going 84cm) then as the action started hotting up the dreaded leather jackets started show up. Lossing all our gear in second of hiting the water we called it a day.

Cheers mate... i did you tube but for the cats paw LOL

Went out sydney harbour on easter monday, things started out pretty grim with only 3 squid in 2 hrs, luckily two of them being 30cm hood length. To put the best day fishing this season in short we ended up catching 4 amberjack and 7 kings, lossing 10+ fish on 30lb PE braid and 40lb black magic leader ( which i struggle to break off when i snag up) Nothing could stop these kings having qaudropale hook ups and they would pull the drag without a single wind of the reel then bust us off, the pain....Hodlems were the winners on the day, time to upgrade my gear. Never had a problem with that gear even with 90+cm fish. Just a question to the raiders out there... what is the strongest knot you can tie to a swivel using braided line??? As alot of fish were lost due to knots??

Nice catch. Makes me feel better that we are not the only ones struggling of late lol. Havnt caught a legal king since the maritime fined us. Bummber about the bomb, they aint cheap. Good luck, hopefully they`ll come back on

Thats not in Sydney is it???

From the shore The water there is a little mirky, but up near milpera bridge it was really muddy. Ive always had more success in dirty water on jews there. Seems they use it to hunt in the shallows

Went down to the local river for a quick fish in hope of a jewfish, first bait down produced 46cm soapie. Then managed some nice bream and whiting. After an hour of dead period hooked something decent which took roughly a 30m run, then busted off on 15lbs gear.

Nice Kingy mate, looks like high 90s to the fork to me

Nice one can u get me Kelvins number, kidding mate good effort

We have been getting them all month in MH its just been in the past 2 weekends we have struggled around there. But your right i havnt explored every where yet as is my first season fishing the harbour. Use to be a dangler now slowly becoming an angler

It happens mate. Heres a list of what they checked: Life jackets, flares, paper map of the harbour, V sheet, whistle/horn, fire extingusher, eperb, paddles, bucket with rope, can remeber the rest but there was more

Tried, asked them to wave the fine nicely and rather than getting fined to use that money to buy new flares. Now the flares will cost me 150 in total
