nice, dinner is served

[Port Hacking]

Hey all, havnt posted in a long time, went out on the hacking this morning, just wanted to share this pic that I took off Maianbar, sorry no fish pics, but there was plenty of whiting early.Was a beautiful morning out there.

[Port Hacking]

Fished Lilli Pilli deep water this morning for 1 tailor of 35cm and a couple of little reddies nowhere near legal size. The tailor took a salted tailor strip. The fresh yellowtail strips, squid strips and pillies did not produce any decent bites. Waste of time really.

The water had plenty of colour in it from last weekend's rain, and at this time of year should be producing some fish, but not where I was.

Plenty of fish on the surface, frigates or bonito, plus a few bigger splashes along the main channel which I think were salmon. Lures did not get a hit, and I saw others spinning into the schools without any luck.

Pumped some nippers and drifted the Lilli Pilli flats for a 44cm trevally. Nothing else, did not even see any whiting swimming about.

Headed back to the flats near Mainbar and pulled out 4 whiting, biggest was 36cm, but the bites were some time apart.

Yowie.

i havnt seen a whiting in the hacking all summer

[botany bay 29/3]

hi rod33, nice catch. the weather looked gloomy this morning.

you said "unweighted" when you referred to how you threw the yellow tail bait, do you mean you had no sinker at all and you just cast your rod?

sorry if its a stupid question, im just learning.

Thats it mate no sinker.

[botany bay 29/3]

hey, just a quick report on my day off,beautiful day on the bay,got these keepers around the drums in botany,on yakkas thrown unweighted at the drums,67cm and 65.2...lol,hey it was legal so its dinner,threw back 5 under, better than my last report where i didnt even make it 2 the ramp...lol

[PORT HACKING]

That sucks mate, but you've got a killer story to tell at the pub or at a BBQ, i'm sure you'll get a few laughs out of it

Well im laughing now, but not earlier

[PORT HACKING]

That sucks mate , Im guessing that was your boat stranded near where the old servo was at about 9am this morning!

Dads place looks over the hacking and it was terrible all day , water is brown and alot of large debris floating around. pretty dangerous for driving around in

hope youve had a few more to wash away your troubles

Hope your next post is good news !

[Hard going at Botany Bay..... 06/02/11]

Hi there -

I find bonitos smoke up rather well... one of the best fish to smoke in my opinion. You should try it!

Tailor also come up a treat but kingfish taste rather ordinary when smoked.

Cheers
