Any reports on hawkesbury/nepean as of late?
shred replied to mattfinn's topic in Freshwater Fishing Chat
that gas has been bubbling for 5+ years. the bass will be in tidal by then, they're moving now -
Surface and spinnerbaits/bets spins, loud divers worked fast so the fish can hear the sonics. I'm a hawkebsury local and spend most of my time up creeks not in the river
-
Jacks were in manly lagoon not manly dam along with a host of other northern species

You can legally target bass you just can't keep em, as it says above. 99% of my fishing is for bass I go twice a week, so I definately know the rules for that one. I do know the rules for trout I just didn't realise it was already that time of the year. You can't even fish a stream that has trout in it when they are spawning, It'd be nice if the natives got given the same respect.. . It just seems weird. Oh well
-
Oh june long weekend. Of course. What a joke. Can't believe trout an introduced species gets a complete closed season and u can target native bass that are breeding in big schools. Guess I'm going for a walk below little river
-
Has anyone been fishing the cox's lately? Went down near ganbenang recently and didn't even see a fish all day. thought I saw a rise and it was a water rat. Lol Has anyone been downstream further ? Was thinking about going for a long bushwalk soon for the run from gamba. Cheers

50cm Nepean Bass (Um sorry EP) - (Still) Fish of a lifetime for me
shred replied to mottyman's topic in Fishing Reports
yeah they looks like EPs, and a cracking one at that, nice one. -
there is 2 rivers and they both hold bass. and just about every single creek.
-
Definately not useless fishing the nepean at this time of year, The trout would be there still. Be a few bass too, bit on the slow side because of the water temp and most of the fish are well downstream in the salt breeding, but there's still a few that'll be up there. And it's not a closed season in the fresh, or anywhere for that matter, it's just a no take period, which most people fishing for bass practice year round anyway.

Hahaha how do you know it was a 38cm bream if the line snapped when you tightened the drag.
-
you should read his other reports Stoney! Just as good!

Anyone know current conditions in Coxs River
shred replied to Volitan's topic in Freshwater Fishing Chat
You'll get fish at little Hartley. I pulled some rippers this time last year -
The surface action is well and truly over. You might still get a few on the surface but not like Summer. Beetle spins and divers are working. Stopped counting when I got to 10 fish the other day
-
Still plenty of fish around
-
I always have herring/sprat hit my leader knot. If you tie on a small celta you can catch them
-
Rarenium has more drag kg and slower retrieve ratio. Both are excellent reels
-
The machine that dredges the weed is called warragamba dam over flowing, wouldn't mind if that happened on a regular basis
-
Wait till it rains mate you'll see an increase in the condition of the bass. That's a great fish by the way, wait till you get one over 40, you'll know it they are on another level.
-
That red spot looks nothing like the ones in the dpi pictures, and there's next to none of it, I've caught bass with way worse looking lesions than that and they all fight hard and kick off when they get sent back. I fish the nepean river as well and you'll also come across a lot of fish with fin rot as well. Ive found they get these when there hasn't been rain for a while, increasing the water temps and reducing oxygen. Definately don't put any bass you get with spots like the one you caught out of their misery mate
-
There's some cod in warragamba and in the dams at the top of the nepean so it's a definite possibility. One has been caught at bents basin years ago as well. And if the shop in penrith told you then there's a good chance it's true
-
Never had a problem with the colours running I always mix my z mans
-
good for you mate. by the sounds of it and the extreme methods you go to to mask the taste of the actual fish, you love it. you can have my share.
-
10-14lb leader in the river and 20lb up the creek where the bass are bigger and the snags nastier.
-
give it a go a few hours after dark. I find they shut down when the sun first goes down and fire up a bit later. no need to cast as far into the snags at night either as you will find they'll be cruising around looking for food. some of my most memorable sessions on the river have been at about midnight. the class of fish seems to be better at night too I'm sure you'll find one that makes your reel scream
