Hi All, I have been scouting Cronulla's Beaches (from North Cronulla through to Green Hills and beyond) for the last 2-3 weeks and I can honestly say I have not been able to find any "good" gutters. I am keen to get some mulloway sessions under way but the lack of any decent drop-offs has seen me not wet a line for a few weeks now... Has anyone else ventured out onto Cronulla's beaches? Any feedback? Cheers Nick

Thanks Grant. I fished a gutter at North Cronulla the last couple of weeks and pulled in some nice big salmon. Perhaps it will be worthwhile heading back to that gutter at night... Cheers Nick

There's some great advice there. Thanks JewieHaven

Hi kingpig, thanks for the advice. Yeah I read that jewfish search the beaches for worms on this forum (I think one of Jewgaffer's posts). I assume you would use a single hook setup in this scenario? Thanks again for your advice

Hi All, this is my first post on this forum. I have set myself a goal for the next 6 months. That is, I will be fishing the surf exclusvely for the elusive Jewfish. This morning was my first session. I planned the session yesterday afternoon. It was to be a 3am kick-off at Wanda. I arrived with two other mates. Fresh squid in hand (snap frozen at time of capture) we ventured down to Greenhills. When we got to the sand we took a left turn and headed north in search for a fishy gutter. Some facts about this morning: 1. There was no wind to speak of (5knot offshore breeze) 2. barometric pressure was at 1012 and steady. 3. Moon phase is waxing gibbous. 4. We would be fishing the last 2.5 hours of the run in tide. Issue 1: low level of light. As there was little swell to speak of, we had a lot of trouble picking a fishable gutter from a sand bank. Issue 2: The tide at 3am was approx 0.8m. With a high of about 1.3m it seemed quite low which exacurbated issue 1. Issue 3: The further North we headed the shallower the water seemed. We fished for 3 hours until 6am and then packed up and went home. All three of us got a bite or two but nothing noteworthy. We were all fishing 2 hook setups: 8/- & 6/0 combination with a sliding snell top hook. As the squid was large we decided to cut 3cm wide strips for bait. Lessons learned: 1. Suss out the gutters during the day and dont leave it until it is pitch black to "guess". 2. Move south of Green Hills towards Elouera Surf club where I know the gutters are more pronounced and deeper. My goal is to get onto a few Jewfish in the next 6 months so any advice anyone may have would be welcomed. PS - Thanks for all the great mulloway info contained in many of your posts!
