    Hairtail

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    Hey ginko. I think the hair tail patterns have been very unusual. I caught a hairtail in late November that went 178cm. Was really shocked, only to hear of them being caught in port Macquarie as well. I thought they only lived relatively local to the Hawkesbury and surroundsand found around winter months? I'm a bit perplexed too! Maybe a fellow raider can shed some light on their patterns?

    Cheers scratchie!!!

    Who would have thought panthers to win 62-6???? I know the warriors aren't going that well but that is an absolute spanking!!!

    I think the top 4 teams are dominant this year, the rest are just making up the numbers!

    Haha, good report and healthy digs at diesel. Great flatty, I'd be over the moon with that one!

    Absolutely stoked. There was nothing else really biting, so to get that girl and watch her come up the water column was in a word, awesome!

    Nice catch ginko! Was out in waratah bay last night chasing them with no success. Water seemed a bit warm. There was about 6 other boats looking for them too but know seemed to have any luck.

    Good work Scratchie, that's a cracker flatty, I had a feeling Diesel went for a fish, the boat was missing hehe. I live across the road from Diesel and he has told me about his last couple of outings. It seems to be a pretty consistent theme (him getting out fished by the younguns). Good to see he got onto a few this time though. ;)

    He said you live across the road!! Why didn't he envite you the slacker! We will all have to go for a flick someday! It's great having diesel with you, cos he always makes you look good! Lol.

    But he's heaps passionate about fishing and pretty good with the net. I give him heaps of practice on it anyway!

    Tight lines,

    Cheers scratchie!!!

    G'day raiders,

    Went out last night with fellow raider diesel and son, and I took my boy same age. Put the both our boats in at parsley bay at about 230pm. The plan was to do a couple of drifts around commodore heights and make our way up Cowan to waratah bay about 430 and moor up for the night. Well, we picked up a couple of flatties around the 40cm+ mark while drifting and we stuck to our plan. On arrival, we managed to grab a visitors mooring, tied up both boats together, set up and settled in for the night. Diesel forced me to have a couple of beers while we soaked some baits and waited for the tide. There wasn't much action, although plenty of bait fish about. We put out a few rigs trying for hairtail but the water was to warm and no sign of them about. Diesel son manged to catch a small soapie and I got a trev that went 35cm. We changed rigs after landing the soapie and tried for jewy instead. We started to lose faith when out the corner of my eye I see my rod slowly peeling line. I picked it up, set the hook and feel a big weight on the end of the line. A few head shakes as I wound in and I was confused to what this fish was???? Being nighttime and a bit hard to see, I thought it might be a big ray but as it got nearer the boat to our surprise it was a huge flatty.

    After a great netting effort from diesel, there she was....... A beautiful 76cm and 3.5kg. A massive PB for me and hi5s all round. The young fellas were stoked as were we! After a few pics but she went to the depths of which she came, which also really exciting!

    Poor diesel didn't manage to land a fish last night, not through a lack of trying but at one stage was perplexed by the weight of his rod!!!

    After releasing his catch unharmed, we turned in for the night.

    This morning we managed to hide from the wind at Juno point and drifted with some success, even diesel managed a few flatty but was out fished by his son yet again! We both went home with a feed of flatty and flounder and had a great night!

    Cheers scratchie!!!

    This is the second post I've read from you boys and was wondering where you launch the boat from? Because next time you go out there's going to be a Haines hunter following you everywhere!

    Well done fellas!

    Cheers scratchie!!!

    I have to agree with tony! Great job stormy! So many memories for me fishing was sharing that day with my mates! I've given away quite a few fish at the cleaning tables to young kids or people who have struggled catching a feed. Makes you and them feel good! Good on ya, your a legend.

    Cheers scratchie!!!

    Great effort kizza! Taking the mrs fishing can be a great experience in itself. Glad to see she was a real trouper and hung in there!

    My mrs is similar to Jew stalkers, she loves catching them but hates the sound of me dispatching them quickly. She's getting better but still can't get her to gut a fish, lol. But she is now putting her own bait on!

    Cheers scratchie!!!
