    The Clarence River Yamba Fishing Trip!

    in Plan a Fishing Trip

    Posted

    Maclean reef is at Maclean, two arms of the river join back at maclean, and where they do, there is a large shallow reef with various drop offs on either side, its a prime fishing location for everything from blackfish to Jacks, to Bass, jews and flathead. Its 15ks or so from Yamba itself, but is also adjacent to the Broadwater, which is a known flathead hotspot. The river itself and feeder creeks in this location are heavy with fallen timber etc, great for bass, jacks etc. Keep in mind though that it's a HUGE river with great fishing, but requires a lot of local knowledge and or time to unlock. If you have sound gear and methods and apply them, you should catch fish though. Structure, tide changes, low light and all of the usual triggers apply.

    Thanks again Matt really appreciate it.

    The Clarence River Yamba Fishing Trip!

    G'day Bash,

    Shallow running divers are good for Mangrove Jacks, fish the high tides over flooded rock shelves, the river is full of them( rock shelves). One of the blokes talks about fishing the T-piece for blackfish in an earlier post. The T-piece itself fishes well on lures after dark on the high tide when the rocks are flooded. In the boat try trolling around the rock walls for Jacks. Other good spots are further up the river at the Maclean reef for one example. THere are locals that spend a lot of time targeting them, but if you are there for only a week you still may not crack the code in that time, or even get the right moon/tide combination. High tide just on dark/after dark is prime time. Week leading up to the full moon etc.

    Matt

    Hi Matt,

    Thanks for the help honestly I really appreciate it. Hopefully I break the code and catch a few. Is there any chance you can roughly tell me where Macleans reef is? If not I understand. Thanks again Matt.

    Hi all,

    Hopefully going on a fishing trip in December down to yamba the clarence river! Can't wait and really looking forward to this trip.

    Really hope if anyone can help me with some decent fishing spots or what spots I can traget, I would really appreciate it. First time going to be fishing that area and hoping I can catch my first mangrove jack.

    Would love to no what lure or lures works best down that way and what tides are best for fishing etc.

    You can PM me or post here...

    I would really love to target some jacks but will be down there for a week and have time to chase a mix of species! I've heard that there are some massive jews and would really love to catch one.

    I'm taking my quintrex with me so won't be land based.

    Love to hear what you guys recommend. Thank you all in advanced.

    Sydney Harbour Samson Fish!

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted · Edited by Bash.G

    Hi all,

    Went out for a fish today! Got to the water at about 5am and have never seen the harbor so quite and flat. Dropped off at rosebay boat ramp and Started fishing the last hour or two of the run up tide. Low tide was at 11am so got best of both tides.

    Was using the berkley gulp 2.5" nuclear chicken shrimp. First cast hooked on to a thumper fish well I thought so, two massive runs reeled it into the boat turned out to be a 33cm bream fat and looking very healthy.

    A few more casts hooked up on to a decent fish with big head shakes running and going crazy! Got it up to the side of the boat and was a snapper that measured out to be 35cm which I was stoked with.

    My mate was using pillies and he caught a snapper that measured about 33cm. He was stoked with that. All of a sudden my mates reel screams and I instantly thought kingie!!! the rod tip is in the water and the drag is screaming big head shakes and running fast. Fighting it for what felt like 10 minutes my mate is running around the boat trying to land this fish, to our surprise we see a samson fish!!! I thought I was dreaming hahaha. We put the fish in the boat and weighed about 2.5kgs.

    I chuck my plastic in and instantly get smashed and think another samson, after 10 minutes land the fish on 4lb and yes another samson fish.

    All up about 5 beautiful bream 2 legal snapper 2 samson fish and a heap of trevally that we released.

    Was fun as and can't wait to get back onto the water.

    I'll post pictures soon! Hope you like the thread.

    I don't usually take fish home and love catch and releasing my fish but today I was craving a feed of fish. ENJOY!!

    Yamaha Outboard Replacement Key

    Same thing happened to me mate. I called up a place called hunts marine in Blakehurst area. I ordered a couple of spare keys off them. There should be a number on the key just give that to them and they will order them in for you. I've forgotten the key way to many times hahaha. Keep the spares in a toolbox in a compartment in the boat.

    Hi John,

    I have a hornet 435, I have gone past the heads in it but I do take care and only go out when the weather is suitable and calm. The boat handles fine with a 40hp yamaha. Just take care at all times.

    Yamaha F40 2003 Anode Replacement

    in Boating

    Posted

    The cylinder head anodes are located on the main engine block (under the hood). They should be located in the vicinity of the spark plugs. There will be a nut over a small cover. Once removed the cylinder head anode will come out and you can replace it. I'm not sure about your engine but mine has 4, one for each cylinder.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks mate really did help.

    I have broken an anode and the anode has fallen back into the engine block. Don't no what to do unfortunately. Anyone no what I can do???

    Hi all,

    Squid around Calalla and Murrays beach and you will get plenty of slimeys and yakkas off the island. Get yourself a marine park map as there are distance restrictions off the island. Kings on middle ground,and under the lighthouse and snapper and kings off longnose point. Beware of the Bommie.

    That should get you started

    Thanks so much for the help mate your a lifesaver.

    Thanks all.
