Yes, Sydney Eastern Suburbs

Report a few weeks late, fished Eastern suburb location for a mixed bag of drummer, bream a dart to my surprise. Do you know where to catch more dart around Sydney area?

They are some sort of wrasse. The fish is sweet and soft with thin bones.

Went to Norah Head for early morning, low swell nice day and caught these. Most of the fish were caught 1 hr after sunrise then quiet. Had a rest and decide to use prawns at 8:30am and to make surprise a nice 2.3kg groper on the first cast. rest of the morning quiet except for unsersized trevally.

Off the rocks

The fresher the better, cooked in curry style. I would prefer bonito, kingfish.

A short session in Gerrigong. 4 healthy salmon, 1 pike and lost a 60cm bonito all taken on pilchards. 20120113

Is an Oarfish I believe

Thew swell was about 1.4m and almost calm. I use Daiwa Excelsor 4000 with 20lb line mono. Got fish up to 2.5kg no problems.

Caught these 7 drummers of Eastern Suburbs on Sat morning on the early high tide. Berley hard and used banana prawns for bait. Size from 34 to 40cm.

I normally look for days with 1m to 1.8m swell and overcast if possible. I fish on about 2hrs before the high tide with finely meshed burley. Rig is simple ball sinker (size 0 or 1) to hook (sizes 2 to 3/0), 18 to 25 lb line. Sinker size may be upgraded to depends on current. I cast into the washes. I use cooked prawns, raw prawns and cunje.
