I thought I would put out some crab nets for the first time since April. Headed out about 8.00 am. While I was waiting I drifted around while casting a little metal vibe. Hooked up to a 40 cm trevaly and a tiny whiting. Didn’t catch any crabs. Probably still a bit cold for them but should hopefully start to pick up soon. At least it was a bit of fun on the vibes.
Gear used for the trevaly was a shimano sonic pro rod with shimano AX 2500 loaded with 8 lb braid and 3 to 4 foot 8 lb mono trace.

Well done. Always fun seeing your children succeed.

That’s a great fish on 6 lb line.

I was having lunch at Swansea RSL last week and noticed a fisherman pull in a few good luderick right in front of where we were sitting. So this motivated me to dust off the gear, chase up some green weed and have a go. Went down this afternoon and tried a couple of spots before finding any fish. Ended up with 3. Ranged from 34 to 37 cm. I don’t target them very often so happy to get a few.

i live right across from the 16 footers and caught a couple of decent but undersize bream off the small jetty
Nice place to live. I saw the bream at the yacht club down the the south end of Belmont.

Good little dinner feed there, which side of lake mac?? The wharf on Belmont side has been going off lately with decent bream.
It was down the South Eastern end of the lake but I was at the yacht club at Belmont the other day and there were some massive bream around the pylons.

Just a quick report. I went down to a local wharf late yesterday with a handful of pilchards and light rod for about an hour before dusk. Ended up with a 27 cm bream and a 50 cm flathead. Dinner sorted for tonight.

That's what I love about this website. You get information that inspires you to get out and have a go. Well done on the catch and on the other fish raiders who helped motivate you to get out there.

Nice feed there.

I put some crab traps out this morning amongst the boat morings and got a couple of nice blue swimmers. Looking forward to chilly crabs in the wok.

Nice fish. Good way to start the season.

Blaxland,
Yes, very lucky to live so close to the water. I use 8 lb braid with a 6 foot trace of 8 lb mono. The area I was fishing is about 3 to 4 feet deep with patches of ribbon weed and very little tidal flow so I just use a size 4 suicide hook and no sinker.

I went for a quick fish yesterday afternoon from a wharf walking distance near my home. I was using old pilchards for bait that had been refrozen a couple of times so wasn't expecting much. Caught a few small red bream and yellow fin bream then just as it was getting dark I got a couple of keeper bream and got smoked by something that took 50 metres of line before the line broke near the hook. I suspect a large flathead or maybe a tailor from the look of the fraying where the line broke. Good to get a feed of fish and the one that got away always encourages you to go fishing again.

It's been a while since I posted but I retired about six months ago to Lake Macquarie and have a bit more time to go fishing. I went down to our local beach last Friday afternoon about 3.30. Wasn't very hopeful as the beach was like a lake and very little white water but thought I'm here so may as well have a cast. Ended up fishing through till about 6.30 and caught a 59 cm Aussie Salmon, a 51 cm Tailor & a 39 cm Flathead. I was using pilchards on ganged hooks. Turned the salmon into Thai fish cakes. Thanks for reading.

Nice way to spend a Monday. Hope you didn't re hurt your back pulling up the whiting.
-
You certainly are keen with yesterdays rain. Congratulations on the crab. Thats a stonker!!!
-
Yer. Its amazing how good the fishing was the week before you go and how fantastic it gets once you leave but at least you got a few and its sounds much better than being at work.

I did the same sort of trip as you a couple of years ago. We were on a 40 foot catamaran and trolled all sorts of lures all over the place for zip. I had a bit more luck in the tender, trolling along the edges of the fringing reefs. Unfortunately the heaviest gear I had was about 20 lb breaking strain. I got blown away a couple of times but managed to get a few smaller trevally, queenies, one small Spanish mackerel and other reef dwellers. I couldn’t agree more with you about well worth the money. It’s a beautiful place. You’ve got me thinking I’ll have to start planning another trip up that way.

Pete,
Bad luck with the big one but at least you won't go hungry. Nice bag of bream there.

Pete,
Thanks for taking me out in your boat and your advise on the water. Even though I didn't end up with any fish in the boat it was a great day with good company. That whiting was a beauty. I don't think the photo does it credit. Also to all the admin for all their work in organising the event and Mich who ran the class I was in a very big thankyou. Like everyone's comments earlier I had a great day and can't wait for the next one.
Regards
Richard
