    Who's fishing wide tommorow

    Erroll, my mark for heatons hill is 34.02.725 152.00.228. Which is roughly 10klms north of where you drove over where you have marked heatons hill ( the little round circle on your map ). I noticed that rise on my map and thought that it must be heatons and my marks are off??? Whos mark is right mate?

    dont go by the drop pins or errolls track map. They were just points where we started trolling or marked bait for our reference while we were out there on the day. The contour circle on the map at the widest is Heatons hill. Around 34. 7. 654s, 151.59.738e. You are correct that your marks are off the hill directly to the north.

    Thats awesome economy, what size and type of engine.

    Pardon my ignorance erroll, but on that map are the units in feet or metres.

    Noel.

    That's feet deep on the map. I fished with erroll and we covered 210km over the water. We were at browns by 8am counted 30 boats, aimed for heatons and trolled from half way to it most off the day. Saw little bait, just no luck. Could see boats around is all day even out at heatons. Most were doing the same thing, we were waiting to hear a call out over the radio but it didn't happen.

    Leather Jackets ?

    I fished out of Sydney harbour south along the cliffs today and looked for flatties all the way out to the 180ft line. There were jackets everywhere i stopped. really frustrating...

    I found they would hear the boat engine, but all stealth attempts failed. i moved around alot!

    Maybe fish in close under the cliffs in the washes for kings and sambos at the moment.

    i got sick of loosing tackle aswell.

    Hey mate,

    Don't forget your nipper pump. You can get a few at moona moona creek but watch for the marine parks. They patrol it all pretty heavily. As I told you I got great whiting bream blackfish and small salmon off hyams beach. There are plenty of flatties in the currambene creek( including a monster I spooked one night)

    Also have a look at the lady denman pool at Huskisson. It has massive flatties, bream, snapper etc in there for fisheries. Throw a leaf in for some surface flattie action. Would be awesome on a go pro! No fishing though.

    Also the stgeorges basin is one of the best big flattie fisheries around. Some big tailor and snapper get caught there too.

    In the bay trie for kings at the heads and snapper at the middle ground.

    Good luck

    Unlucky mate,

    I have been away but hope to try for some Flatties this week. I fish to the south but managed some nice big 50cm plus blue spots on plastics a few weeks ago before the hords of jackets moved in. The Jackets would hear the boat arrive and school up underneath it. If i didnt drop a bait and waited a while they tended to move on. i guess they are attracted to the commercial fishing boats by catch and hear the engines.

    Im hoping there is some clean salt water under all the dirty fresh on the surface.

    had a top day today.

    out from rose bay at 6.30. after hearing reports of spawning squid from grouper and jenno we forwent livies and headed straight out. first squid in the tank went straight out for kings. I had a newbie on board and after the catch a squid catch a king (rats) routine wore off we went for a feed of big female squid which are stacked up along the coast now. managed 9 big air craft carriers for dinner. Then went wider and use the wind to look for flatties, (one of my favourite fishing techniques). managed 5 nice keepers to 57cm all on plastics. would have been a raider record if my mate was a member!

    also saw a free swimming marlin while flattie fishing wide. tried to chase but was gone by the time we were ready! doh!..

    Never believed how jackets destroyed tackle till I started fishing 12 mile. When you drop your jig down then loose it all without a touch is heart breaking. Never noticed a toad till I was cubing for snapper then fishing floaters off Sydney. A school of toads appeared under the boat and made it apparent my 3 hours waiting for snapper had been in vain.
