    Early morning ninja session

    in Saltwater Fishing Reports

    Oh . . it's addictive alright . . . I was introduced as a young teenager . . .  and it lay dormant for many years, only to come back again as a 50yo... 😂

    and yes being secretive about bait locations is DEFINITELY a thing . . .

    I fish semi regularly with some mates and they always bring the bait . . . I ask where they get it, so I can make the trip and save them the bother sometimes  . . 

    I ALWAYS get told ..  . nah it's alright it's close to home . . . . its been about 8 years I been fishing with these guys . . . maybe in a few more years I'll be worthy.  😅 😂

    I've seen a few posts on various FB sites about growing your own greenweed, both string and cabbage, most seem to be in an old fish tank in part morning sun.

    Fed with aquarium plant food, I think . . . Some use aerators, some don't.

    I'll check for a post this arvo and provide an update, as I have no access to FB at work.

    Oh and apparently top up with rain water, or aged tap water, when water level drops due to evaporation, otherwise it becomes to salty.

    I am probably going to get some cleats any ways despite most of places i go to are fairly solid for my aqua surf shoes

    If you're fishing Sydney, definitely get some cleats.  Any low lying ledges are going to be slippery and cleats (of any type) will give you the grip to stop you going arse over.

    Cleats are NOT the best option on rock harder than Sydney sandstone.

    I believe this was the incident and video which kick started the rock fishing initiative. This was within a week after several people had died at the same location.

    The Rock Fishing Information/training sessions and Life Jacket give away was initiated by Randwick City Council in 2017.

    They were also the first to mandate the wearing of life jackets.

    This was done in response to the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney having the highest number rock fisher fatalities and they carried out surveys of rockfishers in 2013 and 2017 prior to mandating lifejackets.

    Here is link to the survey results Rock fishing - Randwick City Council (nsw.gov.au) 

    I attended the first session helped and assisted in following session.

    Well done LF! You don’t need the ‘traditional gear’ to get a feed of luds. 👍👏
     

    A snag looks different to a down as the float kinda slowly leans to side and continues to sink on that arc.

    A ‘proper’ bite the float will go straighter down .

    cheers,   Stu.

    my own theory is they 'need' some 'meat' in their diets around spawning time, even if they are feeding on vegetation during the day, they readily take the above mentioned baits of a night.

    Pretty sure I read this also, they are ‘needing’ the protein pre/post spawning.
