Made the young fellas day, well done, maybe a few more eating fish next time

Thankyou Thanks Bob, was going to use some for live bait, just debating whether they are too big or not

Well done Yowie, a good meal in that

Thanks Pete, any smaller and they will be live bait . Cheers mate Thanks Yowie, much action inside the hacking at the moment? Cheers mate, might try tomorrow if I manage more

Thank you, I was surprised as well.

Very nice bag of seafood, well done

With fishing being alright at best I decided to give prawning a crack around some of the local lakes in Sussex inlet. Last year I managed a few but only being 6-7cm long. With the new moon being only 2 days away it seemed prime for some. I learnt my lesson with a bad light and made sure I used a good one so I could actually see. Within a few minutes I saw a set of golden eyes in the light, bingo, and it was a lot bigger than the group from last year. Turned out the prawns were double the size from last year and will be turned into a pasta shortly. For comparison, the very bottom and smallest one of the night would’ve been one of the biggest from last year.

Thanks Yowie, flatties weren’t sitting too deep just water colour very murky at the moment in the basin. Thanks Bob, doesn’t affect me, I get all the fish😁 Thanks Pete, personally don’t think it’s slow, just got all the fish up on the edges out of the way of all the jellyfish. Just got to find a patch of fish and keep fishing it

Hello all, been a while since a report as these holidays haven’t been as fruitful as previous. Besides a few semi-decent spinning sessions of the beach resulting in a few tailor and some lure sessions up local creeks today was the first decent day. After 2 weeks of struggling to find poddie mullet, I finally found some and made plans to head out early. Launched at 530 and made my way with a mate to the main basin and started a drift along a patch we had had previous luck in. Slow start but eventually boated a few fish, myself landing all 5 and my mate only managing a pufferfish. Biggest going 56 smallest 37. Happy new year to all

Well done Yowie, still a nice feed.

Well done Larkin, nice feed. Any kings inside the hacking at the moment?

Nice stuff Yowie, still a nice feed. Well done

Wow, goes to show how desperate people can be. I know would I would’ve said.

Nice stuff mate, good feed.

Good stuff Yowie, nice feed and a chunk of a bream. Well done.

Great stuff mate, thats an amazing trip out. Well done.

Well done Larkin, lots of good fish there. Cool little shark.

Good stuff Yowie, better than nothing.

Hate how the rays feel like flatties, hopefully next time it is a big lizard.

Good day out, good to see some whtiing about.

Good stuff Larkin, hopefully some kings and some good fish to come with that lot.

Better than nothing, good feed in the end. How is the water colour after the rain?

Thanks Neil, was a bit surprised with the variety in the end. Thanks Pete, is the basin firing at the moment? I am planning to come down very soon and target some prawns as well as flathead. Thanks Larkin, interesting to hear. Thanks mate, surprisingly I didn't see any poddies which isn't usually the case. Just lots of little whitebait, maybe up SWA would be the go for the poddies?

Thanks Mike, was very happy with it. Good size fillets for ceviche. Thanks Yowie, have you been out recently?

Been a while since I've been out for a fish and yesterday was the perfect chance to get out. Walked out onto the sandflats and had a bit of trouble with the nippers, only about 20 in 20 minutes. Fished the incoming tide along the flats and drop-off with them and proved to be one of the best days I've had in a long time. Lots of small baitfish were congregating just on the sandflat next to the drop-off. First fish was the longtom, dad ate them as a kid and wanted to try it. My friend got his first flathead (the bigger one) just off the drop-off on a nipper and I had a day out catching basically every other fish. The odd stingray thrown in it was a good result considering our low bait supply, as well as salmon busting up often. About halfway through the session the biggest whiting I had ever seen came chasing my nipper whilst I was reeling in, hit then gone. Estimated high forties if not bigger. After about 2 minutes I hooked up to another big one over the shallows, we could see the dorsal fin and tail out of the water and geez the fish looked massive again, then gone. Another heartbreak. Both trevally were hooked in the shallows then ran into the channel, my guess is all sorts of fish were pushing bait up and feeding on them. A few small bream later we called it a day. A very mixed bag and a few feeds to share around. Cheers, Isaac
