Hey guys!
Fished the bay Saturday arvo with a few mates, the weather was not the most comfortable but we still persisted.
Started off in Woolooware is was a little slow and we dropped a few good fish i guess it was just one of those days, still managed to get a nice bream on one of my vibes
My mate chicken got a decent flattie on a squidgy fish in drop bear which he says thinks is the "gun colour" for them
We started to head back to the ramp at around 430 but decided to have a quick flick in kogarah bay which was a great move!
A few cast in and i hooked up to a solid flattie and it gave me a nice work out on my new fireblood reel.
After a few nervous moments on 4lb leader i finally boated a nice 67cm fish and after a few pics was released to fight another day.
I always seem to get the bigger flatties on my gear ment for bream always with lighter leaders and smaller plastics this time a berkley bulky hawg. Not that i mind too much as its alot of fun
Cheers guys

Great work mate! its hard goin in there if you dont know your stuff!!!
They look healthy too
I tried there for a couple of hours last wednesday but could only manage a few little trumpiter and a small flattie and an almost legal reddie at the mouth but i deffentley need a electric to be able to get right into structure

Top report mate!

Thanks for the replys guys!
The southern side is defiently more diverse and a prettier place to fish thats for sure!
Hodgey......
I have not had too much chance to play with different colours just stuck to natural looking darker colours which seem to be working in the areas i have been fishing, Black with a little orange on the belly is deffently the best so far.
Oh and keep a look out in the mail in the next few days too mate

Hey guys went for a mid week session with my brother in law after finally moving up to Sydney and having some time off
Started at woolooware bay and things were slow after only a few missed hits and after a couple of location changes we finally found some fish. Most were legal size and a couple going around 30cm but they were hitting the blades i have made like steam trains!
Here is one with my home made blade in its gob
The tide stopped so we headed out into the main channel and landed 2 keeper whiting and 2 nice sized flatties within 20 min then it went off again.
I have seen a few reports about the cooks river and the northern side of the bay and have never really fished it so headed that way. We didn't have much luck and i dont know any spots around there at all but it was still interesting to see some of the structure around those parts. Other than a trevally of around 36cm and a few small trumpiter i think we wasted prime time that we could of spent in the southern side of the bay and got caught up in the heavy winds and rain which made things a little uncomfortable and hairy at times but we were alright.
Back into woolooware and the wind was still strong which made it really difficult to control the drift and i dont have an electric bow mount yet but still managed to pull up this nice bream which again smashed a plastic ment for a flattie but its a very welcomed by-catch
All in all it was a nice day and released all bream just keeping 3 flatties and 2 whiting for beer battered fillets that night
Oh and i landed this nice flattie that went 62cm on sunday. i didnt have the time all week to post a report so ill chuck it in here
Cheers guys

Welcome gg85 and thanks for sharing your catch. Are those squidgy pro range wrigglers you're using with S-Factor?
I've just started to fish the Towra area and tried the area around the yellow beacon/marker last Sunday and managed only one trevally and a few pinkies on 2" gulp grubs in about 3-4m depth. Am I in the right area or should I be further out in deeper water, further south west towards the elephants trunk and pelican point or south east towards Quibray Bay? Any tips would be appreciated
My tip with towra would be to go straight past it at the moment and go into woolooware bay
that has defiantly the most productive for me and i have landed a few nice flatties and breamOh and timestamp great report!
i am yet to try the cooks but will be in the near future

Hi stippy, you've got yourself a Rock Cale mate. They can be a bloody pest at times!!! But I'm pretty sure the spines aren't dangerous....they'v never hurt me.
i dont think its a cale dont they have a more pronounced bump on the head and more of a parrot beak type of mouth?
caught a few while goin for blackies and they normally bleed everywhere too
-
Great catch mate!
I fish the basin sometimes and have seen some great fish come out of there! your lucky that your so close!!!
Pete

Hey guys a couple of quick reports from over the weekend
St Georges Basin on the Skeeter.....
Fished with my uncle Neil who fishes the southern bream series comps with The Iceman on saturday morning. We hit the mud hole to try find some of the big reds that have been around that area recently but other that 2 mangled hooks from 2 nice fish (post pics soon) it was a very slow start for me. Neil landed atleast 8 or so legal fish befor i even had a hit but i finally got into the groove and the action started. I ended up landing 7 bream (30-39cm) and a nice flattie 5 of the bream and the flattie taken on the new blades i have made so i was glad they worked. Apparently it was a real slow day and i was deffently out done by my uncle but still had a great day and also landed the biggest bream going 39cm so i had braging rights
Kept a few fish for niels neighbours and a couple of old blokes from work.
Action shot i didnt knew it was so blury lol
Better shot of bigger fish
Botany racks......
Finally convinced my lovely sister Taryn to come out on the water with me to try some plastics. It was a hard day with the wind but still managed to get her her first fish on lures and she ended up with 2 keepers one on one of the blades i made too
I landed a very sorry flattie who slamed my blade but buy the pics you can see the size of his head compaired to his body, im not sure if he had been hit by a boat in his time or attacked by something as he had a massive lump on his back and a crooked spine so i let him live another day.
I got heaps of small flatties and bream and landed a nice trev too so it was a great day out on the water
Thanks guys
Pete

Which area were you fishing?
I was in a stone coloured Hobie Pro Angler kayak.
I hit the water at about 5:30 and fished the mouth before making my way to the flats.
I wish I went to the flats earlier as the bream were really biting on blades but the wind got too
strong to stay there so I made my way back to the moored boats.
Got busted off by two nice fish and dropped a few more but I still managed a nice feed.
How did you go?
We drifted the racks started from the drums that are there and the 4 poles if you know what im saying
Just about to post a report too
-

Might try my luck tomorrow if it's not to windy.

yea, nah im not complaining you couldnt ask for better weather. Im just wondering whats the best tide to fish on in the bay. Run in or out?
Cheers
as long as the water is moving one way or another the fish will be active in most spots
Pete

Well done again Pete - a nice mixed bag of fish. I bet your old man had a good time. I can't wait to hit Woolooware Bay again
.I might bump into you out there early monday morning maybe ???
Pete
-
look good mate
The only thing i can think of is that the overflow or outlet should of been lower. you might find under power or turning that the water will splash up and leak out of the sides
Otherwise top job

Pete - well done, those are a pair of nice lizards
. The ZX30s just keep pulling the fish for you. The large flatties lying close to the oyster leases are fun aren't they
. Woolooware Bay is my favourite place at the moment, with consistent catches of bream and flatties.Thanks mate!
Hit the same area again this morning with the old man on the run up tide this time. Caught a hell of alot of just under sized flatties around 25 odd between us most coming on squidgy fish profile just slow rolling or burn and kill method, Still ended up with a feed but nothing too big but still plenty of action and a lot of fun
Whiting 28-31cm, flatties 40cm, bream 27-30cm and the trev. oh and no love for the zx
Rather than starting a new thread ill post it up here

Just be careful when you tie your leader on as the braid is very fine
ive lost a few fish from not tieing it properly and having the braid slip through the mono
if fish are stupid then i have no hope for myself with the amount of money i throw at them
Morgs
What type of knot are you doing mate?
A double uni or even an albright knot shouldnt slip through, i think i have only had my leader knot fail once or twice and i think that was because of being a couple of sessions old

Hey guys
Hit woolooware bay this arvo with a good mate chicken (pete) to see if we could also fing some of the flatties that have been around the area recently.
It didnt take long befor we got into some action with a couple of small flatties then a massive hit on my zx30 right near an oyster lease. This fish gave me real stick, after a few hairy moments on 5lb leader and having to maneuver the boat away from the leases we finally netted this nice ^61cm flattie
and Around 15 min later chicken gets another solid hit and gets some stick too! after a decent fight he lands a nice flattie himsefl!
Chicken says "get the brag mat out it looks more impressive" and after a heated argument
we call his fish for 62cm, 1cm bigger than mine! but he was alot fatter so i gave it to himBastard!!
Everything went quiet for a while and after a location change i managed to pick up a nice plate sized (48cm) model for chickens dinner
It was a great arvo out even with a few quiet moments
Cant wait to hit the bay tommrrow with my old man

We drifted with the breeze (using the minn kota to control the drift) from about 100m (5ft deep) out to about 400m off Towra (9ft deep). The little reddies were sitting in 6 - 8ft of water. We were deliberately trying to mimick your style but were not sucessful. It may have been due to the runout tide.
All of our lizards are coming from Woolooware Bay, however last year we had great succes with the Lizards off Towra (mainly on the incoming tide in 5 - 8ft of water using SP across the sand banks between the weed banks).
Its normally ok on the run out if you start closer to the point and drift the way you did, the bigger fish seem to be closer in but i suppose its all got to do with the day. i think alot of the fish also push back off the refuge zone on the run out to get anything that gets dragged out of there in the tidal flow
I have had alot of success in even deeper water around 12ft which seems to also bring the trevally on
Anyways its a bit of food for thought when i take my old man out on sunday
Still you guys did have a cracker session!
Pete
that has defiantly the most productive for me and i have landed a few nice flatties and bream

Hahahah yeah i think i was leaning towards the camera a little bit and i always try pulling a the same face the fish is pulling
Yeah mate i have not had that much luck on the bream in the last few weeks, like i have caught alot around the 30cm mark but only a couple of plus 35cm fish and dropped one at the boat that i thought would of gone close to doin my pb in but thats fishin i guess.
Saying that i have been trying new techniques and experimenting with all types of plastics and still getting plenty of action and a few nice whiting mixed in with the flatties and bream. and have landed 4 plus 60cm flatties in the last 4 outings which is deffently a bonus when the bream are not on.
Most of the fish seem to be in the 9-5ft range in woolooware and the water is cold at 14deg! and when you go more shallow there seams to be alot of small plastic tail nipping tailor
Ill be out there Sunday morning with my old man to try get him his first big flattie as he has been jealous with the pics i have been showing him
so if i see you on the water ill come and say hi!
Oh and yeah how cheap is it! i have a mate whos in canada at the moment so im going to get him to send us a few things back soon
Cheers
Pete
