    Pittwater Is Bare - Last Of The Pros Is Going

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Reading the Manly Daily this morning and front page is a guy who is a professional fisherman, he's been fishing the Pittwater for nearly 40 years.  He trawls with nets and now cant make a living, when in its heyday, he was catching "400 boxes" of fish per night, 400!  No wonder there is no fish in Pittwater now, him and all the pros have fished the place dry, so to speak.  I wont be sorry to see him go.  Maybe the fish will get back there one day, I was there yesterday and it was very slim pickings. Of course there are other reasons why Pittwater is a shadow of its former glory fishing days, lack of sea grass, probably stripped off the bottom by the nets anyway, but some algae is being blamed for that too, but trawlers dont discriminate, big, little, anysize fish just gets taken, make Pittwater and Hawkesbury rec fishing only.

    I have it on good authority that Pittwater is looking like going off this summer. heaps of Rats there at the moment was the report that I got.

    Mate fished there yesterday and pulled 4 kings and got smoked by a monster.

    Well done Joe.

    You seem to have the knack of getting bass to hit surface lures.

    Cheers

    P.S - I have some special new poppers/water walkers that i'm trialing at the moment. I am getting some more in so since you love top water luring so much I might be able to push some your way!

    just pm me and we can sort it out

    Look i couldn't agree with you more.. This is what the old man has said all along. Maybe i'm lookin too scientific on something that requires no thought at all. :wacko:

    No its always good to analyse a days fishing of what was caught when and what it was caught on. It always helps to improve and hone your skills.

    As an example you might be fishing berkley's one day and not get many hits. After this weekend you would know what sp to put on as you would remember how many flatties your dad got on that sp.

    Cheers

    Not being one to want to rain on the parade ( 45 fish is an awsome session ), but when it comes to flatties, they will eat anything that moves past them. I have caught them on just about every plastic (heaps of different sizes) I have ever owned.

    Sure some sps are better but a flattie is an ambush predator and will eat anything that comes its way. If it doesn't like what its just eaten, then it spits it back out.

    Off The Bite

    If the size is down try bigger baits or lures.

    What you will find is that the little fish muscle in in larger numbers and smash bait and lures. the big ones are normally around but sometime can't get through the smaller fish to get you bait or lure.

    I have experienced that time of fishing before and there is almost always a couple of briusers in the pack just waiting for thier chance.

    I though both you and Swoff would enjoy the news.

    Should be able to get some small blacks from my boat when the season is on and depending on where the FAD is, dollies on bream gear :thumbup:

    Should be able to get out for a fish more often up there and you are always welcome aboard.

    Cheers

    Hi all,

    Just to let you all know that I will be moving from the Sydney area :1badmood: up the the beautiful area of Port Stephens to live :thumbup:

    Will be moving within 12 months and as you might have guessed, I can't wait :1prop:

    The only problem is that I will have to work in Newcastle, but thats a small price to pay for living in such a great area.

    I know this will put a smile on the face of some guys and yes you guys will always be welcome to come up and stay and of course do some fishing.

    Cheers

    If your boat is big enough head out to Tomaree head. Alot of guys are getting wasted and spooled around there on some big fish. A mate of mine lives there and they have not caught them yet. Possibly big tunas as they head straight out to sea with a massive first run.

    Allot of the islands offshore produce good fish, you just have to find them. The Boulders also produces some good fish. heaps of live bait up there to catch.

    Cheers

    Rod To Suit Capricorn

    in Tackle Talk

    Lurespinner,

    Since you are getting a nice reel why not match it to a nice graphite composite rod?

    There are plenty around. Look at the Strudwick range, Shimano raider range, Berkley dropshots, Daiwa heartlands and even the new Pflugher rods are well priced.

    It all comes down to money of course but there is even the Gloomis and Daiwa Heartland Z range and although they are pricey they both make exceptional rods.

    I would not bother with an Ugly Stick due to its glass construction ( not a shot at the rods as I have one but its a heavier stick ) as the graphite sticks combined with braided line offer superior feel and strength. You will feel the slightest touch on a combo such as this and it can double as an esturary combo and a light offshore combo.

    Cheers

    Shimano Or Daiwa

    Shimano all the way. Great reels, great range and great service :thumbup:

    Have heard of a few issues with corrosion on Daiwa reels.......even on the big Saltiga :wacko:

    Daiwa all the way excepting baitrunners. They are an exceptional reel from shimano and no one can match this reel. I own only 2 shimano reels and thats a baitrunner and a computer 1000. The rest are mainly daiwa.

    Never heard of the issue with the saltigas and i myslef have never had any problems with my Z6500 Gt and neither have any of my friends that own one. Interesting.

    Have a play with both but if it were me i would be getting a capricorn oven a stradic anyday.
