Fished tuesday morning off the beach at Brighton le sands, caught 5 Bream, 2 whiting all keepers.
Plenty of undersize squire prior to the bottom of the tide where everything went off the bite for an hour or so.
Caught all fish an hour after the change on the tide
Fished from 6 till 11am used nippers for bait.

Hey guys and gals...this question is probably asked all the time but what is the best way to catch yakkas ? Hook size and bait and so on any help would be awesowe...in all my years of fishing slot of the time seemed rushed but now wanna take my time and get out that little bit earlier and try and get some fresh bait and hook a real big fish
size 12 longshank hook
light line, 4kg is heaps
smallest splitshot sinker...just enough to get the bait down in the current
bread/dough or small pieces of prawn
and most importantly a quick arm to hook those slippery ones

Hey Guys looking at going for a beach fish but not sure which beach would be the best to fish in a southerly...
Which beach would you fish in a southerly if you had a choice from the beaches between coogee and malabar?
Any info would be great!
cheers

Any info would be greatly appreciated Cheers

Awesome report, keep them coming

Yeah try the stretch of sand from kyeemagh baths through to novotel brighton, remember keep moving along a bit if you get no bites till you hit something. Also you will need to wade out to get a good cast in.
Try to use yabbies or worms and if you can throw out a pilchard on ganged hooks as there are the odd large tailer about at times
I use around the 6 kilo braided or mono line, and enough weight to get your bait as far as you can. 10 foot rod is perfect if you can. half metre trace, noticed it is still early in the season but should fire up by end of january and Good luck!

Took the old man for a cast this morning off brighton beach, weather wasnt as promising as hoped....
However there was a break in the rain and decided to get out of the car and cast those rods, really had no choice as we had those yabbies clawing away in the live bucket.
Caught quite a few undersize bream (tossed back in)and kept 2 just over, managed also 2 bumper whiting both +35cm in lenght.
Also pulled up 2 large trevally +40cm plus, awesome mixed bag for the beach for a change
Good day out on the bay considering the weather and no boat! lol
Also saw a few schools of fish must have been bonnies or tailer just off the beach harrassing the baitfish there...
All caught on the rising tide.
-
awesome report! keep em' coming
-
very nice..... nice pics too there champ
-
tough one there...... basically, you got a boat and you fish the bay away from shore quote 'middle of the bay'
But anywhere is good depending if the areas firing at the time, try end of runways and the oil refinery near kurnell

Matey, I must have been fishin next to you today.......was flickin lures and plastics near the wharf there and Zilch today?
Guess you must have had that special aroma to ur bait and lures
-
better luck next time there matey
-
Yeah went did some spinning on the bay today........Zilch must be the big tide/current or somethin, prob the drop in bar pressure dunno
-
Geez matey, thats awesome?
so when r we comin over for dinner? -
Went on the fish today to see how Id go with the king tide in the morn..... Being land based at kyeemagh had absolutely no luck! used nippers for bait only managed a few just undersize bream and a couple of rays..... Not even whiting..... somethings going on!
I knew this would be the outcome as its just a little early in the season few more weeks should do it, however the king tide seems to sometimes put fish off
Good Luck
-

Hey there all....
Went fishing this morning off Brighton beach near the hotel
Caught and kept one large Luderick, 2 large whiting 1 large mullet and one decent Tailor
Heaps of just undersize bream, Tarwhine and snapper
All were caught with nippers except for the tailor on whole pille/ganged hooks
Big surprise there wasnt much whiting around and the water felt a touch cooler, maybe the fresh water has flushed them out into deeper parts of the bay
Fished the just falling tide, very flat water, maybe too flat for my liking for fishing there today however a beautiful day from the misery weve been having the past two weeks.
Oh yeah almost forgot we lost a thumper of a Flathead up close, looks like he frayed the line and did the runner
Fished 0630 to 1030 hrs
