    Concrete !! Last time I used it ,it was just dirt leading into the water, about 5 trailer spots to park at best.

    I might have to go for a road trip and have a look at it to see if it's a viable spot for the upcoming season.

    The Colo is one of my favorite Bass locations and worth the journey.

    Frank look at launching from any ski parks nearby.

    Will only cost a small visitor/ramp fee for the day and allows extra fishing time instead of launching elsewhere and travelling the river.

  2. I have been driving past a wharf in the harbour as part of my job and looking at it thinking it would hold fish on it.

    Today arrived 2 hours before high tide and quickly found my depth and where to put berly in.

    Third drift i get a down then pull tight on my first fish for the day and safely in the landing net soon after.

    Next fish buried me in the kelp on t a pylon and came back hookless.

    Pulled the hook on a few fish before getting the next one into the net.

    As the high tide neared i had four in the net and about 40 minutes into the runout i got my last fish out.

    Persisted for 30 more minutes for no action so took a pic and released the fish.

    Not too bad for my first time at this location and quickly worked out it is a run in tide spot.

    Can’t help thinking that deformity comes from being caught in a gill net when younger.

    I have had simillar thoughts also about this notching on fish.

    No one really seems to know how it occurs.

  4. My day did not start off good by sleeping in by a hour.

    Plan A got to north bondi for a solo rock session but the swell was bigger than i liked so grabbed some weed and cabbage from the ledge.

    Grabbed enough for half a bucket of berley and bait for a harbour session.

    Plan B had two bait fishers on the wharf with 8 rods out between them leaving no room for a luderick session.

    Mixed berley here then moved onto plan c.

    Plan C was a spot i normally fish on the run in tides but got here at 9 30am on a runout tide.

    I was not prepared for a harbour session so i left the second bucket and landing net at home.

    Shot some berley in while rerigging my rod to a estuary set up 15 minutes later i was fishing.

    Missed the first two hookups on my first two downs by striking early.

    Next couple of downs i let the fish go on with it longer and came up tight on the fish and had them on the deck.

    Puled the hook on the next fish halfway in.

    Got a couple more luderick out before they went quiet.

    Kept the berley going in consistantly then changed my depth to match the tide and was back into the fish.

    Pulled the hook on one more fish before getting my bag limit of ten in three hours.

    All fish released alive and well after a photo.

    Pretty happy Plan C paid off.

    Keep having troubles uploading photos through my phone.

    You driving from Sydney to fish Shellharbour?

     

    Very nice bag, definitely not useless if your bagging out

    Yes.

    Syd harbour 50 to 60 minutes drive from home.

    Shell harbour 50 minutes drive from home.

    Happy to fish either.

    Travelling for a fish does not bother me.

    Driven to Eden from Sydney for a days fishing in the past.

  6. Solo session today down at shellharbour.
    First and preffered fishing spot had no bait on the ledge so moved further south to my backup spot which had bait growing on it.
    Found my depth and started getting downs before hooking and dropping the first fish.
    Soon after into another and landed.
    Got my bag limit of 10 at 9 30 am and fished til 11am landing 14 in total and pulling the hooks on another 4 fish.
    All fish released.

  7. Yes you do pay for parking there.

    Will be worse soon a developer has a proposal in for approval that involves gates restricted access times during daylight only and 2 to 3 hour max parking time.

    Also i believe only 15 to 20 spots for trailers if approved.

  8. Great day out today on a solo session.
    Checked out a new spot up the lane cove river out of the wind.
    First drift at 7 20 am with the first fish in the net at 7 32 am.
    Was getting touches every drift.
    By 8 am i had dropped one fish and had half my bag limit.
    By 9 15 am i had my bag limit of ten fish with another 3 fished dropped.
    Called it quits at 11 am having landed sixteen legal fish two throwbacks and four dropped fish for the session.
