In the deep water off palm beach would be a good place to try mate

heyas all
fished run in up and run out today at towra to wooloware bay
flicked sp everywhere near mangroves, oyster leases etc
trolled the weed beds
only managed 3 flatties around 38cms
and one pike at 42cm
this is not so great for me, and from memory, every time its full moon the fishing isn't so great during the day
if anyone can enlighten me, is it because the fish has fed all night long?
regards CJ
When the flats arnt working mate try the faster water in the channel and where it comes out into the bay just wide of towra or the deeper water off the flats works sometimes too

Hello again everyone
Got 3 nights booked in the LCR National Park next week, and the main focus of the trip is bass fishing. I've never fished freshwater before, so I need a lot of help please
Only going to take two outfits, sounds like bream gear should be alright? Was planning on taking 1-3kg tcurve revolution/saros 1000/1.5kg braid and 2-4kg trion/Stradic 2500/3kg braid. These shouldn't be too light should they?
One of the main questions I have is leader- 6lb? 12lb? Really have no idea, but im thinking a bit heavier than bream leaders?
Also, lures; I bought an sx40 imitation and a 45mm River2Sea bubblepop the other day, am I on the right track?
A few questions, and like I said never fished freshwater before so any help would really appreciated.
Thankyou
Hamish
You should get a couple of spinner baits too mate and maybe a couple of pencils purple is a good colour for both, plastics slow rolled down panks will work too
Your gear will be fine personally i would use 4-8lb leadder

What do you think of the bent minnows? they look crazy in the water, hoping to try them out over christmass
-
Went looking for topwater bite after Sundays fun session. Had a surface plastic and a bent minnow rigged up but there was alot of water between the bream and the ones I did see were just lookers.
Changed to a Atomic deep crank and got into them on pontoons and boat hulls. Took home a feed as they were all average size fish.
Good work mate some nice fish there!
The harbour is defently not my strong point and neither are HBs so so im very envious lol
Are you fishing the bets round this weekend?
-
Thanks for your comtribution Pete, any tips?
Cheers
Mate all of my fishing other than when i go for blackfish is with lures so im not sure if that would help you but ill drift the whole time and work different water levels to see where the fish are at. I fish over alot of weedy areas and i have found they will hang closer into these areas with the larger tides
Basically you work out your own pattern that suits what you do,
Good luck mate

Good little session mate some really nice fish there
I went out sunday just past the narrows and got a heap on topwater but nothing bigger than 20cm
Looks like you went over the boom?
Cheers
Pete

I do find it is alot harder on the full moon especially on the flats i tend to go deeper but i normally dont take notice of the tide or moon just as long as there is some wind around and the water is moving im happy
Cheers

Unless your bein a dick (meaning people in general) i have found both the water police and marintine are really helpfull and dont cause too much of a fuss most cases they will warn you and let you on your way.
I would think to myself that i was lucky nothing else came of it
Cheers

Hi raiders,
I have a question in mind, does the size of the hook protruding from my soft plastic matter much? Will a fish go for a lure with less hook coming out or does it not matter?
Thanks!
Hook size can effect the action of the lure and normally with a larger gape the hook will be longer too
I normally use number 1 or 2 hook with anything up to 4 inch plastics. people talk alot about "short strikes" but i have found normally smaller fish will do that
Cheers
Pete

lol i dont know why you guys go so heavy for but anyways
80mm wrigglers in wasabi blood worm and lava, normally 1/16 or lighter heads in up to 5 meters of water or 1/12 when the water is flowing a little faster
3 inch minnows im pearl watermellon or peppered prawn normally 1/12-1/16 but on occasions ill use 3 gram heads if its 6-10 m
and im starting to really like lobbys in the small size hidden weight over weed
cheers

Not bad for a couple of hours fishing. Other than the sore arms the only problem I see is what were you doing not fishing for 5 months!!
^^^^^ what he said!!!!

Cheers

Good work mate how good are friday arvos on the bay
I was out there too but more towards towra and pretty much did the same as you but also landed a nice 36cm whiting but no bream
Are there many pike near the goynes atm? im getting 10 every session
Cheers
Pete

I personally dont like the idea of it but people do use them with success
I recon i could tie a head on faster than uncliping and clipping on a small clip anyways and i think re doing the knot is a little more insurance as at least you know the fresh line is not worn
-
Hey Pete
I always see the bream and whiting darting around in the shallows around towra but never thought there would be that many travs there.. you cleaned them up good!
Have never really targeted the bream and travs in the weedy patches with lures but will give them a go now after seeing your many post!
Watch out for me on the weekend invading your patch!
Cheers

Hey mate ill be out there on friday soo ill take most of the fish but leave some for you
But Seriously its anyones water, i have confidence in catching fish (which does not always work out) but if someone is in a spot that i wanted to try i just go somewhere else, theres a few good places more towards kernell and in the channel between captian cook bridge and ramsgate which is where we found the fish a couple of weeks ago
Post a report up of how you go mate
Cheers

Nice going BB, That's a hot session. You must be pretty handy with the lures.
Sunday mid arvo was kinda windy and you still did alright.
So far I can only manage a few flattties on SP and not consistantly.
Have to try shallow water and Towra soon.
Hey mate keep trying and you will get results! i might even show you around one day next month if your interested?
Nice Pete
The bream should fire up there on the next new moon
Water must be cold still if your getting pike
Hey Andrew! the water was 18-20 degrees depending where in the bay i was hopefully the pike piss off soon
I hope the bream are around in the basin in a couple of weeks i got the squidgy final on and apparently it has been super slow down there
Pete,
Great 'slow' day action. Good to see the bream have shown up and looks like you found a good school of trevally. When they're in a feeding mood, they'll take virtually anything and are probably beating bream to the lure. I enjoy targeting them actually! You're not wrong with the weather - hopefully we really get our spring weather in the next couple of weeks ...
pmak
Thanks bud!
We have to meet up ond day on the water for a top water session! And we can target trevs too
-
OMG - What a great catch!
If you call that a slow day i would love to see you in action on a good day!
Suprised you did not get a bag full of flatties at Towra.. the place is teaming with them.
Well done mate.. you did very well.
Cheers
Trung
Cheers mate!
The Topic is a little bit sarcastic compaired to some days especially when the bream are on
but it still was a very frustrating day missed alot of fish hooks didnt like sticking at all ! After working the way they were bighting we would strike then high stick the rod and reel in really fast untill the hooks set.We went well on the flatties the other week but we tried heavier weed this time basically just trying to find Bream but bycatch is very welcome
Thanks
Pete

With that much weight on the jig head you would of been knocking the fish out!!
Good effort mate!!
Pete

Awesome haul of fish!!!! i cant wait to get into the shallows and use my new flats set up. hopefully nail some good fish like you did
what dont you blades get though
I know my blades get too many pike for my liking
I cant wait for the water to warm up! too much rain keeping the temps down!
Cheers

Hey guys hit up Botany sunday mid day to arvo with my mate Trent befor we went out to dinner with a few mates that night.
We started off at towra first drift for nothing other than a couple of pike then decided to move in real shallow to chuck hard bodys and weightless plastics
First cast with the hardbody and i was on to my first of the season hardbody bream
Then for the next hour and a half we basically landed a fish every 2nd to 3rd cast with a few bream and a heap of pike thrown into the mix. the best bit was that i actually caught fish on 12 different lures!
Squidgy - wrigglers, lobbys, critters, flick baits, bugs,
Powerbait - gurbs, bass minnows,and hawgs
Scumline - amphibians and ripjerks
My own blades and the Atomic HB in the first pic
Heres a pic of fish released after our second drift...
And a couple of trevs on a double hook up we had both went 41-42cm
There were a few bust offs from larger fish and trent lost a flattie that would of gone mid to high 60's easy
So all in all not a bad sneaky sunday arvo fish with 25 or so tevs between 33-42cm,5 bream between 25-33cm a heap of pike and a couple of whiting
We only kept a couple of bream and trevs for trents mate but the rest were released
Thanks for reading guys
Cheers
Pete
