Good work there yowie... haven't been on the water myself for at least 8 months now but it is always good seeing your reports.
keep them coming mate
-
Mate I have the exact same issue with you and my parts been rusted for 5 years. When I was going to go and get it replaced I was told you would do more damage to the engine replacing this part. Its a cast iron part so I was told it would be better to brush off all the rust and use some of the anti rust solution and then paint it and it will be fine.
In the process of doing it at the moment

good fish mate... always wanted to wet a line around there. You didn't get hassled by any council rangers did you?

solid session of Brighton mate... good to see the whiting are still around

hey guys,
After being off the water all summer finally got to fish the hacking sunday morning. Hit the water early off lilli pilli and was able to hit a solid school of bream hanging in the shadows near the pontoons. Landed 3 of them, all above 40cm with the largest at 44.5cm. All fish caught on Pillies.
It was pretty hard work trying to drag the fish away from the pontoons as the fish would dart for cover once hooked. lost 2 others at the structure. Once the sun hit the water the fish were gone. landed a 65cm flattie also.
All in all a good days fishing.

My recommendation is to start early. Be fishing at 6:30. The fish in the hacking seem to drop off once it gets too bright.
If you are fishing later in the day fish the shadows - moored boats, pontoons etc. The fish tend to hang there in the brightness of the day.

Solid session mate how sis you get the mullet to take the bait. They are around all the time but not a bit interested
-
Nice solid flatties there mate... well done!
-
Ive caught a 2 small cobias in the hacking over the year, mainly in late summer. Never big monster like the ones in the photos above. They are around.

get out at first light if you can. I find the fish bite better in the hacking when the sun isnt shining onto the water. Also berley hard mate.
-
looks like you had a solid session mate... the flatties dont usually show up of the beach like that untill much later in the year... Im assuming you are fishing off brighton?
-
im surprised you got the whiting in the muddy water, i always thought the water had to be pretty clean to find the whiting
well done mate
-
if you go over to the casino side of the harbour i have seen people fishing off there. If you are throwing plastics etc you might get away with it.
-
good on you for getting out there mate. keep up the reports.
-
great session mate. good on ya for letting the bream go. I would have personally kept it myself. :-)

mate i fish in the hacking and where i fish the tide doesnt flow to fast so if i am lazy i just mix up a couple of bags of breadcrumbs with so tuna oil and use that. I put a fair bit of water so it starts off pretty runny, though it will dry up over the course of the fishing trip. I put a small scoop out every time i cast. I like using tuna oil becuase i am using pillies typically for bait and so the fish will be attracted to the tuna oil and will be looking for some pillies etc to eat. Works well with bream. While i am fishing though i do put out the occasional bits of pillies out also, though i make sure i cut these into small pieces.

solid fish mate! i always knew there were big kingies in the hacking. Well done
-
mate at the flats you would always get kingies at this time of the year in your berley trail. I find that if you berley up with cube pilchards and then send an unweighted pilly out as well you can fool them into taking the bait. They are always unsized kingies though.

Im disappointed in the reduction in the number of bream to be kept being reduced to 10. Although i never catch anywere near the max limit of bream during a session it would be good to be able to keep a decent number of fish if i do happen to hit a good school.

great work landbased mate.
-
great looking fish there mate
-
Solid information there yowie. thanks for sharing mate.
Port Hacking - where are the fish?

haven't had a solid rain for a while. It could be that the water is too clear at the moment?
