    Land based La Perouse Point

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Thanks guys

    Yeah I’ve fished congwong. Had some success with flathead, bream and whiting. I enjoy fishing there but yes, swimmers can be a problem 

    I had a feeling La Perouse point was more a squid area and certainly does look snaggy. 

    I wonder if certain rigs would do better there because it’s so snaggy

    Hi All

    Wondering if anyone has had any luck chasing squid and kingfish or anything else really from the picture below. 

    I’ve walked the area before and look like there’s a lot of kelp and sea grass

    Not after any secret spots or anything like that, just want to know if the area fishes well?

    P.s I know Bare Island can fish well but gets busy sometimes 

    Cheers

    You can fish deep or fast flowing water with a single jig    thread line thru a small ball sinker   00 or 0  twice  so it doesnt slide up n down loosely  tie on jig then slide down onto nose of jig  sinking it down near bottom without hitting bottom is the trick  single or double hauls while jiggin will both work  best advice is lower your line size  20lb is overkill on squid  use some mono or flourocarb on front of braid as squid will see the braid

    Thank you for the advice. I’ll definitely give that a shot and see how I go

    Hey guys

    Just after some help/advice 

    Lately i’ve been fishing the piers early morning for squid with no such luck

    Usually start about 5am to about 7-8am with a 7ft 5 timber wolf paired with a Daiwa Aird 2500 and 20lb main line with 10lb leader

    Most guys there use a paternoster rig with jigs being 1.5-2.5g and a small sinker. They use a double hip or one big lash. I stick to a double hop and let it sink before repeating. It’s about 10mtrs deep.

    They make it look easy but I can’t seem to land anything. In the end I switched to a standard set because my paternoster rig started twisting

    Any advice here would be much appreciated guys. 

    I would love to catch a few and put a few out for some kingfish as there has been some good catches on live squid   

    FYI I have considered using a skewer jig but I thought it’s a little deep

    Lots of it here in Brisbane Water.  Slimy brown filimentous algae that coats the bait and the sinker every time you wind it in.

     I think it’s Hincksia sordida, which causes nuisance algae blooms on the east coast in spring. Certainly not seagrass. 

    Well being algae it should hopefully die off soon and allow things to return to normal

    Where and when would be the obvious questions  if u need help

    First spot was Drummoyne and second spot was Clifton gardens 

    I spoke to my local tackle store and he is confident it’s sea grass that has “sprung” for spring.  

    I guess the next question is will stay a while or die off. Really frustrating at times.

    Hey guys

    Just a quick question. My last two fishing trips have resulted in no fish. 

    I’m find there’s a lot of seaweed at the moment. Almost hair like. I’ve been fishing land based with a size 4 sinker and size 4 long shank mostly for nippers. 

    Normally im ok and catch a few here and there but the last two trips have been shocking. Every time I wind in to  check on the bait the seems to be a massive ball of seaweed around the sinker and bait. 

    In the end I had to resort to float fishing. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Hey Fufu,

    There’s a spot I fish in my local system that is near an old abbatoir. The workers would often throw old carcasses straight into the river. MAny of the bream there developed a taste for beef and pork. I found floater baits worked best (guessing it replicated scraps coming off the bone). Bacon seems to float better than meat so strips worked well for me, particularly streaky smoked bacon. Seemed to hold on the hook well also. 

    Never heard of bacon as bait lol

    G'day again I live in Croydon and have fished the bays around Five Dock -Drummoyne for over 40 years. One of the most popular baits people use when fishing the area has always been skirt steak- I stress skirt because it has a 'grain' that is tubular in appearance, not unlike a worm. Just cut it along it's 'grain' and feed on similar to using a worm. The common rig used by most for daylight hours is long rod, large ball sinker, bead, swivel then long trace- 3 to 5 feet down to hook. There is virtually no tidal run and casts are directed towards the moored boats where the bigger Bream often sit underneath in daylight hours, hence the large sinker. Same rig is used if worms are the bait. Fishing this way is pretty 'laid back' and doesn't produce big numbers of fish, however they are often excellent size. There is a guy we call "King of the Bay" who tries to fish almost every day even if only for an hour or so. He sets up two or three rods across the road from where he lives and regardless of what other bait he has, one rod is always baited with skirt steak soaked in olive oil, garlic and parmesan cheese.  Every so often he'll say "got another good 'un the other day"- when we ask "what on?" answer is mostly "on me marinated steak, of course!" His "good 'uns" are usually awesome size Bream. 

    I grew up in Croydon Park so I know the area very well.  

    It seems the most common cut of meat is skirt steak. It’s been recommended the most. The only thing that seems to differ is what mixes to have with it. 

    Being daylight I guess you would need a trace that long and I’m pretty sure I would set up like this

    I do appreciate the response and I’d love to hear more

    Hey mate, i have used stir fry strips of beef before and has worked for catching little bream, they must think its a worm, make sure its thin, don't chuck half a cow in there ? I also regularly use chicken breast and parmy on almost any fishing trip, best thing i can suggest is using a syringe with a small needle and filling it with tuna oil or some sort of fish oil and putting the needle into the actual meat/or chicken so it soaks it up. Did this with the beef strips and chicken and have caught a decent bream, also if going for bream and snapper specifically, chicken with tuna oil injected into it then soaked in parmy and wrapped in a bit of bread has worked for me several times, they must think its like a chicken in pijamas or something. Reason I wrapped in bread is it seams to keep the parmy on the chicken for longer. i would try the same on beef strips, if its marinated i dare say it will just ooze off it and not be on the bait for long, use a syringe. 

    Wow I never thought ever of using a syringe. It’s a bit tedious but I can definitely see the benefits of it. 

    I wonder if oyster sauce would be just as effective as tuna oil?

    Id like to see how I go with steak as an alternative to chicken

    Hi All

    Wondering if anyone has tried using meat/steak as an alternative for bait?

    I was thinking of cutting the meat (possibly back straps) into thin strips to mimic a worm. 

    I also wanted to marinate it with soy sauce/tuna oil, Parmesan cheese and maybe garlic

    I have tried the above with chicken and have had some success but I wanted to try it with meat and see if anyone out there has had any luck targeting the bread and butter species?

    Dyed bait

    I tried the dyed beach/blood worms over the weekend. I was actually very surprised when I went into the tackle store and saw them. 

    I didn’t know what to think but I tried them anyway. I was very surprised with the success I had, particularly with whiting

    I know there’s a lot of people that won’t like this and a few that would but I use a egg snap so I can quickly change lures instead of tying straight to the jig head.

    Personally I don’t think it affects the lures swim pattern but that’s me. 

    I’d use 4lbs Fluro carbon leader with a zman grub or Slim SwimZ as a starter. 

    Double hop and slow roll would be a good starting retrieve

    I would also suggest Abbotsford after high tide - I caught 5 there over last two days (and they are all back swimming)!

    Yeah it just seems like they are all over

    Mind you the bait balls around are of epic sizes too

    Mate what's the rig for fishing for kingfish landbased

    To be honest I was set up for bream, so I had a 2-6kg rod with a size 2000 diawa reel on 8 pound line. My leader ran right through 

    I have no doubt I completely fluked today
