    Hawksberry May 3rd

    What a great day and great weather down at Parsley Bay..

    Headed off towards Juno..Well we had fun hear but no keepers..Just 10 Port Jakson sharks and 3 cat fish.

    Next we headed to the bridge and Bar point..(Between 1am and 5am) Got a few good bites but the only thing landed was cat fish once again.. What to do? So we pulled up at Broklyn to get some more bait from the antique shop. Now with somw great squid we headed to Lion island.

    This was worth it.... :1fishing1:

    From 6am till 10am we didnt stop between 3 of us we landed 30 fish of all good size butnot all were keepers and most were released..But it was a blast as james (the young bloke with us ) had never fished salt water before.. About 11am things got quite so we tried cowan,juno,broklyn and gunya point...with no luck. :mad3:

    About 3pm we went back to the car to cook a feed and restock with bait and stretch our legs and headed back to Lion Island about 5pm.

    :1fishing1::thumbup: Once again things were hot with a few more keepers and 25 landed..most were released as we didnt have much more room in esky or were the smaller ones..(under 35 to 40cm) our smallest fish was the great Bream at 42cm :thumbup:

    Kingfish ranged from about 45 cm to 75cm

    Flat headed started at 40cm up to 70cm

    also landed some pan size travaley, salmon,yellow tail and one leather jaket :yahoo:

    Weather was great fish were great on my new boat first trip......

    Good Friday On The Hawkesbury

    in Fishing Reports

    hi all, i have'nt posted any repots yet so i thought i would report yesterdays trip, however unfortunate the weather may have been.

    Headed out from Apple Tree Bay around 6:30 and drifted Patonga beach for some flatty which we didnt get however we did land a tailor, a medium sized bream and a squid.

    Then headed over to Juno point in search for something bigger.

    After butchering the squid into some bait strips we put a couple of lines out and cast 2 light rigs towards the shorline and let them drift with the current.

    One of the lighter rigs went of fairly quickly and we landed a nice 39cm bream at the same moment an octopus had taken hold of the other rig, a half hour later the same rod went off with something decent but the leader must have snagged on something sharp as i reeled up a piece of shredded line.

    All in all a good morning.

    As im fairly new to fishing i was wondering if anyone could give me advise on where (around the hawkesbury, pittwater, cowan region) to catch some sort of live bait (squid or anything else), and what would be the most effective methods to do so? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    i have been told at westhead near the box that is on the sure berly up for yakka's and at barrenjoey for squid..Good catch by the way I was out there as well .. where about around Juno do you go ? I have tried Juno before with no luck at all.. Should I go close to shore? stay out from shore? and what direction from the point? :1fishing1:

    Cheers

    sorry no pic's didnt take the camera :mad3:

    Well I headed down from Bathurst on thursday afternoon..Weather was great a little cloudy but, I had nothing but hope. :05: Did the family visits and headed to Port Botany.

    Got to the ramp about 9:15pm. Most were going home already and weather had got a little worse. The wind had picked up, the light rain had started..I had not came this way for nothing so I was going to give it a good go. I also had my 12 year old son that wanted a fish no matter what.. I headed to the 3rd runway dropped a crab net, and anchored about 50 to 60 m from the marker. We did get some hits but landed nothing.

    It is now going onto midnight and it is just getting worse. So we got it together and decided to grab the car and head for Tom Ugly's bridge... :05:

    NOW Is a good time to mention that I could not find the net in the chop..IT IS FREE TO GOOD HOME..

    so we are at TOM UGLY"S we fished the bridge and down in the bays near the bridge untill 9am..Had 2 real good runs but nothing to the boat.

    HEAD TO BROKLYN...

    We start at cowan creek near apple tree bay and work up. anchored at one of the bays just up from the ramp and BANG, BANG we were getting bites and fish..I landed 2 good 35cm snapper. It was getting close to the 5:30pm gate time so we loaded the boat to go to Parsley Bay. Put the boat in and tried the bridge(nothing) So we went back to the pilons just near the Broklyn marina as I have had luck here before. about 20min later the bites started and about an hour 1 flounder and 1 good 45 cm flattie.

    We got wet and gave it a good hard go.. we went home with some fish at least... :05:

    So You Think You Can Fish

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    With the recent flood of reality TV shows I was thinking last night (after a :beersmile: )

    How good would a show on fishing be? we could call it 'So you think you can fish'

    We have a bunch auditions for prospective contestants who then each week compete in different styles of fishing for a different species.

    The one with the worst catch gets eliminated finally leaving us with the top fisherman in all categories.

    What do you think?

    I would watch it! what the heck I would audition for it!

    Ps: in case any networks are reading this...

    Regards Paul

    Sounds blody good to me ....Get to it mate lets put it to them...TOP idea :1clap:

    Where Are The Fish In The Hawksberry?

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted · Edited by yarraone

    Not a very good trip to the hawksberry this week...River was pretty mudy at times, So the catfish were plenty...I tried the river at Bar point, The rail bridge, Gunya point, drifting between the road bridge and the rail bridge. Then went out on the tide to Flint & Steel and Juno point. I put in at Parsley Bay at about 9pm on wedensday night and stayed on the water untill 7pm Thursday night.

    The only hook ups were 2x 40cm flatties and a 20cm flounder which we caught near Broklyn Marina. about 30min before we headed home..

    We tried live sauid, fresh frozen squid, pilchards and prawns.. I noticed that there were not many others out on the water either ?? But, those that were and i talked to said they had no luck either..

    As far as Juno point goes, I have herd alot about this place but, never even got a bite there... Maybe I am not in the right spot.. Can anybody help me please.. I dont have a sounder as yet so I can only go off directions and guess..Were is the best spot and direction from juno to get good fish and jewies?

    I have also added a pic of the flatties

    This stranger beauty was caught about 500m from Juno towards Flint & Steel? DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT IT IS??? Are they any good? :1fishing1:

    How Do I Get The Marks Off?

    in Boating

    Posted

    Gday there,

    Try metho for the finger marks, if there is a sticky substance you can try eucalyptus oil, but be sure to take the oil off after cleaning .. metho will do

    Thanks for that,, I don't know why I have never thought of metho as I use it on and in the car for just the same thing....
