  1. I used to fish a bit at Cremorne Point years ago. Not on the wharf, but right at the end of the point near the little lighthouse. Just walk through the park and then down the ladder to get there.

    Used to catch some nice sized flatties, trevally and snapper at the lighthouse. However, the last few times I went there, everything I caught was undersize. Love the scenery there though!

  2. There were plenty of Dollies out there on Sunday. They were hitting everything - livies, pillies, even jigged up a few of them.

    Try targeting them if you're going out again soon.

  3. Thanks for the reports, that was a good read. Wish I could fish for a week straight!

    Interesting observations too regarding the moon phase and Kings cruising through the yakkas. Would love to hear the thoughts of more experienced fishos.

    I've heard the theory before about the falling barometer slowing down the bite. Apparently has to do with the pressure affecting the fish's organs such as swim bladder and stomach. i.e falling barometer compresses the fishes organs, making them less hungry while a rising barometer results in less pressure on their organs, expanding the stomach and making them more likely to feed.

  4. Do you only want to fish off the rocks? How about fishing from the beach? It's safe and you can catch pretty much everything from the sand depending on your set-up.... Bream, Flathead, Jewfish, Australian Salmon, Tailor, Sharks....

    You'll need a beach rod but you can get those pretty cheap.

    Go early morning or late afternoon, learn how to find gutters and use fresh or live bait if possible.

    Good luck!

  5. I had a fish off the beach at Garie earlier in the week and didn't get a hit either. Spent more time trying to untangle my lines from all the weed than actually fishing :ranting2:

    I think people have better luck fishing off the rock platform on the left of the beach but it gets busy and you need to keep an eye on the waves.
