Restyle

i was drifting/ anchored once the current got strong between alfreds point bridge and mickeys point with some squid and Hawksbury prawns, Squid caught nothing, everything was on prawns. they are great sized too. Do you keep the shells or just turf them away? I haven't really fished the hacking much recently, mostly the Georges for jew & bream. Ill be back there soon for hopefully a king or two. Spiro sells his salted pillies $13/kg, 1kg bags iqf $10 and 2kg blocks for $15. I'm usually the ones who salt the things & sometimes bottle up the left over juices into a plastic bottle and mix with bread for a awesome burley.

20$ for pillies? wow. Usually $13kg salted, 10$ non salt anyway, I've been hearing reports of kings being caught of the jettys at Revesby beach/Georges river national park & plenty of kings are being caught at captain cook & tom ugly bridges. The trawlers in the Hawksbury are having no issue pulling in good sized prawns and when i was out a couple nights ago there were millions of prawns and schools of poddys jumping from the water as i kayaked past. (only caught about 6 bream in the 25-35 range, a 45odd flattie and a pan sized ray.) alot of bait around so surly the predators wont be far behind. Looks like were in for a cracker pelagic season! if you have issues with hooks, size 10 daiichi are a tiny hook and they go down to size 18 which is so bloody small, about 5mm.

if you use google chrome, it will usually tell you before visiting a http site that it is unsafe. If you do not place banking details, passwords or whatever on a http site its generally safe but still exercise caution, on any website. For example the bureau of meteorology is still on "http". Difference between http and https in short is https encrypts the data you input into it, passwords, banking stuff, etc while http is generally plain text. For sites to use https they'll need a ssl certificate as well so its a whole lot more work anyway.

good luck mate!

haha what a shot! wouldve had to hold the gaf real good with that bad boy going mental

weird.. maybe a trawler offloaded them or a fisho with a few fish too many offloaded them with a approaching maritime boat?

good few trips there mate with good fish to show aswell! good luck over at woolooware, great area to fish from

yeah august & October are reserved for westerly's! November is gearing up for summer with the nor easters!. fab, you may even see yowie on the water tomorrow so ready the sinkers and a good throwing arm

forecasting? dose this mean better weather forecasts then the "bureau of meteorology"

good couple fish for 20 minuets or so. I have no idea why i clicked the link you posted, i barely understand a thing

awesome stuff, shielded from the wind upriver aswell. Love the banana as always. good giggle haha.

Was looking promising last time you posted, and now this. Jinxed! still got some fish regardless, you going to eat or salt the gars

Don’t see how it could, although I was out fishing last night and caught nothing, so who knows. I did grab some pictures though.

a great feeling is a understatment, its bloody unreal! should be plenty more trips on the books now! yeah, finally. caught them at cronulla ferry wharf cobwebs and a nice layer of rust haha. I hate it more when a fish is hooked on the bottom hook and the top hook is swinging around with the thrashing and flapping fish on the deck of the kayak near my "area" spent quite abit on that kayak, id be insane to give it away!, i thought about getting rid of the other one i got as its barely used though.

The stars have aligned, with a break in my schedule as a jobs coming to a end and some good weather instead of that windy rainy crap, so, I thought I’d pull the trusty kayak out of its shed and take it out on the George’s to peel off some rust and try my luck for some Jew. Already running late, I went ahead and packed the car in record speed and also did a quick check on my electronics and sounder to find it all working. Wow. Unbelievable, then I opened the front hatch and see one of the wires terminals had popped of so on went a new one. Was also missing a ratchet strap, couldn’t find it amongst all the tools and crap on my back seat so I improvised. I didn’t even clean the leaves which mysteriously appeared inside the kayak, they are all up king George’s road now. got anchor and lines out with 45 minutes before the turn, a hour late so not to ideal but I’m on the water, wow felt great sitting in the kayak again with 2 rods out and 2 squid for bait I caught the night before. the first fish appeared right on the turn which was a flathead. Took a couple attempts on the bait but ended up gulping it down. Quite odd to see a flatty out this late but it’s a fish. Spent a good minute unhooking her and having left my pliers at home down, I threw 3 fingers down the fishes gob on Taking the 2nd hook out and of course as always with flathead as I’m releasing it goes crazy and spikes the crap out of me. Atleast I got my bait back. the 2nd fish I caught was reeling in my anchor as I caught nothing else. There were plenty of bites but mostly from bream biting the heads of the squid. Weather was great, the wind was nothing and the rain held off till I got home and cleaned the kayak as a random shower appeared. Hope to go out again tomorrow at what looks to also be a lunar eclipse.

shame about the rod, but a stonker red like that would make up for it anyday! well done!

quiet and squidless Unusual of you to be catching blackfish, although they do eat nippers i assume you caught it on one. might see the whiting start to be on the chew again with warming waters. Great bag as always with plently of fall back options

top quality pictures (and fish). Cant belive theres blue sky in the background, Great effort mate, good to see you on the water.

beautiful snapper with a great bag of flatties too! good job mate. Funny things squid are, they are no where to be seen now. There were a few here n there at yowie and lillipilli but since gone with the endless rain we've had. You should try some of the deeper reefs maybe

Yewww cracker fish on lightgear by far one on the best fights on light gear

Nice haul of fish mate! Wouldve been abit busy out on the water today.

2004... you've been here longer then some of the younger members here have been alive. Keen to see whats biting around in NZ, We are looking at ANOTHER wet summer though.

good sized trev, not to surprising its rather quiet after all the rain we've had the last few days.

good fish for a soggy arvo. Always quite a surprise when a fish is chilling on the line.

There’s a few squid around at the moment, not massive but good bait size, they go really well at the start of a rain event as there’s no one around and the whole school is yours for the taking. yup, it is. I’d find august and September for the westerly’s but not too much this year. Mostly southerly’s this year.
