    Black fish hooks

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    I'm not sure. Just that this was the first time I had used these hooks, but could have been small fish or saw tail as when i would strike i would have maybe a 1-2 second fight then gone. I just thought I might have been using them wrong.

    Black fish hooks

    Hi All

    Went for a fish from my favourite black fish spot this morning with fresh cabbage to see what was around. Fished for approx 2.5 hours with over a dozen downs but no hook up.  The question i have is that I'm using new hooks. Mustard hooks that have a square profile and are made for luderick.  Do these hooks perform better used like a circle hook with a longer take period and slow lift of the rod to hook the fish as i missed every single down today.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No need to get upset bessell1955, but when you push the point several times about crab measurements being too small when you are doing it wrong, then you are going to get harsh replys.  The correct way to measure crabs is available online and also in all tackle stores.

    That's what my hive is Neil a flo hive.  Still needs the same maintenance as a standard hive and not as productive as a regular but much easier to harvest.

    Thank you Waza for the detailed use and history of this rod.  I will definitely source a centre pin reel and give it a go. 

    Thank you again. The information is much appreciated. True FR spirit

    Hi all

    Have been having a bit of a tidy up and came across one of dads old rods.  It's a Jarvis Walker black queen deluxe solid fibre glass with cork grips about 8ft long. It's still in really good condition and I was wondering what these rods were used to target.  This rod would be easily 40 years old and if anyone has information on what fish they were used to target would be great.

    That view looks like you were at the lucky shag bar Baz.  I'm also in Perth tonight on my way home to the bay tomorrow after two weeks over here for work.  Leave first thing in the morning. Good luck with the charter.

    North Reef Newcastle

    in Fishing Reports

    Hi Raiders 

    Put the boat in at 6am this morning  and went straight to the wreck off stockton break wall to catch some lives. Filled the bait tank within 15 minutes with yakkas and small mullet. Headed out to north reef and realised we had wasted time catching bait in close. The school's of bait fish on the reef was unbelievable. Dropped a couple of lines to drift and also through out a small mullet as live bait as there were small kings on the buoy. Only caught rock cod on the bottom lines but surface mullet got smashed on the surface only 20 meters from the boat. Fought it for a while but pulled the hook before I could see colour. I was so devastated. 

    Headed about 500m north of the buoy and started another drift. This time picking up flat head. Would of caught 40-50 over a couple of drifts but only two keepers. 

    Good day on the water and excellent conditions. 

     

    Cheers Loomesy
