yep ive had a look but i wouldnt take bream or leatherjackets as they live near the bottom, but the water seems to be clean there however but cant risk it. i feel like they should conduct a more recent test for the dioxins in fish as the last one was about ten years ago
-
what colour choice would be good for the jerkshad? and what size, as well as hook size and weight
-
but pier 8 is at west of the sydney harbour bridge so i reckon only pelagics should be eaten from there.
-
as pelagics move around a lot i hope it should be fine, but u never know if a king has eaten a fish that has dioxins in it tho. generally speaking would you prefer jerk shad over zman diezel minnowz as it can help do a more aggressive retrieve or should i mix it up and see what works best.
-
but this was on the west of the harbour bridge right? are the pelagics able to be eaten, but not the squid or anything else?
-
am i able to get the single hooks from a shop or maybe a shop? i have heard tailor have dioxins, and also are pelagics caught from west of the harbour still fine to eat or just good for catch and release?
-
is the hook for my chrome slice (similar to halco twisty) that i got from kmart have hooks that are too weak? im slightly confused, is there a difference between a pause and stopping a retrieve shortly? at balmoral ive had many cases with bonitos with no bustups following my lure but as i reeled it towards myself and the action stopped, the fish went away as well, so what should i do in that situation?
-
yessir
-
ohh did u see people catch fish there or see bustups?
-
i will be able to upload to picture on saturday, but i think my hook was the same brand as yours with the yellow background 5/0 3/8. so will the bigger the hook mean less tail movement for the zman diezel minnowz which already doesnt have a lot of tail movement? and will it still catch kings
-
hey derekd took me quite a while to read all of the forums u have sent but they have helped a lot. will my 5/0 hook be too big for my 3 and 4 inch zman diezel minnowz and only be good for my 5 inch? also ive been reading ur forums and it seems that sluggos and powerbaits work better than zman diezel minnowz? or is it just less recommended for kings
-
yes same, is it a good place tho i havent been there yet where was ur school camp?
-
yep hopefully they produce some good pelagics
-
ohh thank you i will definitely try that next time. are there any lures you would suggest? or maybe bait
-
do those lures work better than the zman diezel minnowz for kings?
-
ok thanks will def buy them later on
-
thanks for the info i will definitely keep that in mind. this video shows some good action at pier 8
-
is under the bridge at milsons point? ive watched people catch kings and bonitos there, as well as lavendar bay
-
i have been to blues point just once and only luck there was a ten second bustup of kings, and nothing else after that. i haven't tried pier 8 but have seen many videos of success, which tempts me to try there one day. off at watsons bay i have caught bonito and king like that while trying to catch bream, using a floater like the man u saw and bait was a small strip of squid.
-
spear treble hooks?
-
when there arent any bustups should i use lures that sink or stay afloat?
-
thank you so much for the information i really appreciate it but are you still able to catch the fish without bustups
-
do u reckon pier 8 will produce or are there any suggestions to go to for kings and bonitos maybe even salmon are there any soft plastics in 10”??
-
thank you ive watched the videos and they have helped
-
will i have to change the treble hooks for the chrome slices because i heard they bend very easily but i might change them after they actually bend as i havent tried them out yet
