What a cracking session Sam it's great when a plan comes together. You have the perfect spot to bbq some fish for lunch at work.
I also succumbed to the temptation yesterday and headed out from the Hacking with my dad to catch a feed.

Welcome To the site APM. That's so cool turning your hobby into a job. What type of Motorsport are you into?
I mostly fish from a boat so I can't help much. Maybe starting with catching bait would be good. Squidding bear bear island, yakkas near any structure, Nippers maybe at Mainbar and fish the flats.
I think land based I'd set myself up to fish the structured areas like the Groynes for example or maybe walk the beaches flicking plastics. Target one species at a time.
As the water cools fishing will get a bit tougher in the estuaries the numbers drop away but the quality often improves. The fish are a less aggressive. Blackfish are a good winter species and probably trevally.

Now that's a tailor, cracking fish and congrats to your son.

Yum yum, Did you go a little further east than your usual haunts?
-
Very nice and great fun. Was that in Botany Bay? It looks like the winter trevors have turned up.
-
Nice repair Zoran. Is the floor glassed in or does an access panel just unscrew?
-
Nice work Keith. It's good to see Your Botany Bay blackfish reports. I use to get some poddies at Tonbridge, I could never figure if there was a pattern to them being there.
-
Good on you getting out and producing a top feed. Great way of spending some time with your dad at a distance. Although I was kinda hoping he landed the jig in your boat 😂.

I will provide the low bar each day 😂

Fishing outside for flatties I use a paternoster rig, usually fish strips or squid for bait as pillies disappear quick.
Generally you will get bites as soon as you hit bottom but the size is often small. I keep moving around to I find a patch of keepers and mark the spot on the sounder. I repeat that drift. I'd start in 30 metres, move to 40metres and than 50 or the opposite if I was coming back in from out wide.
On future trips I will usually go to one of the old marks and move on from there.

I said there were no bust ups yesterday, but I do now remember a few near the boat, only briefly. Appeared to be small frigates, only small ones. No sign of bonnies when I was there. They probably turned up after I up-anchored and moved.
I think it would of been around lunch time.

Yesterday a mate caught bonnies near Lilly Pilly with bust ups "everywhere".

Yes, Neil, and I’m lucky I still have a job! Not so lucky I have lost $80k off my super so far though! Looks like retirement will have to be deferred and I’ll have to ride it out! I reckon we’ll be in total lockdown by Monday...
I think that is pretty likely for Sydney or NSW. The measures taken do appear to be slowing the spread but it would take a week to know if it's enough, I don't think that's a game we need to be playing.

I noticed the council has closed the ramps at Port Stephens.
I get it that you can't have to many except fors in a shut down. It is a bit frustrating that we will have plenty of time and I could take my boat out solo with bait from my bait freezer and I have ample fuel for at least 6 trips or 2 out wider.

You can't beat a feed of whiting well done. What depths were you fishing in?
I agree Autumn is good I just need to get out there.

It's always good reading your reports Yowie. I think tailor are an underrated eating fish when fresh.

Congrats to you and the kids Scratchie. It's so good watching the kids compete and enjoying their sports.

Hi Sam, We didn't try for snapper just a feed. I was a bit hesitant to post it up.
