fished down south of port hacking thursday as the weather forcast looked ok. Got an early start as we wanted to start fishing at six and had a twelve mile run down coast. water looked really good as we were running down, as we noticed blue bottles, plenty of bait and birds.Our last couple of trips the water has been green etc. We wanted to fish he change of tide at seven and as soon as we arrived we were catching reds.
we intended to have a drift which would allow us to have a look on sounder for bait etc and then we would drop the anchor and berley, however we just kept hitting fish so we did not get around to dropping the pick.
We have been using japanese jigs over the last two years with great success. I think you can see the jigs in one of the photo's attached. They have been very aggressive, belting them on the way down as well on the way up. The jigs also allow you to cover alot og ground in a days fishing so they are worth thinking about. We have caught all reef fish including kingies on them.
We had our bag limit by eight thirty which was twenty reds. One of those days that makes it all worthwhile.
