once had an amazing session off back of house boat in yeomans bay got over 10 could try there

welcome Fishking, yes you cant go wrong in the harbour and the bay, i would suggest buying a downrigger when they are not busting up on the surface you can get the bait right to them. i have caught them on 6lb braid and with a light bream rod that will test ya , either way when you hook up to a kinghy you will know by the burning forearms and sore shoulders ha.

Hi fellow Raiders , Long time reader first time report. went out after work with a mate to chase some frigate and bonito in the Hacking , but nothing but glass and the rumble of a storm coming up from the south. Finally we see some birds diving in the distance , we race over to see massive schools of bait fish as far as we could see we were casting at them like crazy but with no knocks or anything . we went through every sp and slug we had still nothing we then saw a boat casting a live bait jig at them , he was catching what looked like pilchards , so we looked through our tackle boxes for a livie jig and only found one. we were straight on to five , then another five . we almost filled the live well ,but they die very quickly we were so sure there was goona be some predators around but not a thing . on dark we left the schools and trolled backed to the boat ramp and managed a few 30cm tailor . so i guess it was not that bad we managed to get some good bait for next outing .cheers i would love to know some of your thoughts on why there nothing chomping these bait schools
