heading down on Friday, I near prawns were about Taboruie a few weeks ago, but recent weeks it’s been open up… hence, not much or nothing are left??? Burille lake are always good with whitting and rock fishing.
so do anyone or anyone local there know or can give me some advice, wollumboola lake are on fire this year, easy 20-100 kg a night on drag net.

Headed out yesterday in search of some Bream and Whiting. Was on the water just after 6am with my 80yr old uncle and a mate. Fishing was slow early on but as the current picked up on the rising tide, the bite picked up. Landed some quality bream and trevally before my uncle had the fight of his life on 6lb line with a small long shank hook. After about 15 mins, a 67cm Trevally was netted boat side and brought on board. It was the biggest Trevally I have seen come out of any estuary that I have fished. It measured 65-67cm and 3.3kg after being bled. We then went in search of Whiting and managed 5 decent fish, the biggest measuring 43cm (again, it was the 80yr old giving us a fishing lesson). Great day on the water although I believe the dredging taking place in the Hacking has affected the fishing somewhat. Can't complain. Still a decent catch.
nice very nice! Was it past lilli pilli?

Took another day of work again, thank goodness I work for myself
live bait sorted in botany at 4.30am and was out the heads by 6am, got to the fads by 6.50 and bagged out by 8.15 in what I describe as a freakeash bite, anything you threw in the water was taken , live bait was the main weapon but they took pillies and lures, the bite was all over by 8.30, we threw back another 5 fish or so by then, headed back in we trawled along the cliffs for bonito
bait sorted for next time,
get out there before they are gone
tight lines raider
Wooo that’s amazing!!!!

Thanks Rebel - a calamari banquet at my house lol 😂
Plenty squid out there now, fished two locations and both held plenty.
Should be a few kings inside - seen large marks on the sounder underneath as we were catching yakkas. Also my neighbour caught a 113cm king slow trolling a livie in the deep Chanel leading out of burraneer bay 3 weeks ago. I saw the photos and it was huge! big fish for the hacking.

Another brilliant day on the Bass - crook weather (wet & windy), but better than the harbour. Hit the water with some kids from school & their dad (still on holidays and wanted a lesson in the freshwater).
11 fish before 7 am and 31 fish by 8.40, (with multiple hookups and one where we all hooked up on a school). Gotta love Feralcatt lures - deadly.
A great morning with Tony, Lachlan and James, now “Bassassins”
Are they nice eatting fish? I bought a jade perch yesterday, they were fatty, but not as fat/oily as the silver perch?

damn bob!! you smashed the kingie again!!!

Thanks Heaps and a Happy new year
this was all different days, The swell, wind and tides i check before i go out
Depends on the boat, the size and how much it can handle the conditions , chop, swell etc, if got a decent size boat give your self about 1.5 hours, Browns is about 45km ofshore
damn! thats a love ride, we lauch at whallys wharf and it usually take us about 40min to get to our normal fishing spot, which only produces reel species.
