Swansea

[Paul]

Hi guys

Just a report from when I went down to Swansea (in front of the RSL) a week ago. Approx time: 5pm - 12:30 am. Quite disappointing compared to the last time I was there but good compared to my normal fishing trips . All in all I caught some juvie snapper, 3 tailor all above legal limit, the biggest being approx 50-60cm (Photo to come) and a fish resembling a barracuda (no idea what it was but the teeth were pretty nasty)about 35 - 40cm. Some guy next to me caught some decent sized bream but was able to cast out further.

Bait used varied from SP's (pumpkin seed scent baby minnows), prawns, and pilchards. No luck with the SP's just lots of nibbles. The prawns brought in the juvie snapper, and pilchards the tailor.

I say this was disappointing cos the last time I was in Swansea was around March/April last year and the tailor must have been in a feeding frenzy or something. Every single line I'd cast, I'd end up with a catch. Maybe just not the right time for them yet. Hope they come around soon while the weather's still warm

Cheers

Good report mate. There's some good fishing to be had around the bridge area if you can beat the crowds.

If you're fishing the light changes (dawn or dusk) then try the breakwall on the northern side of the lake entrance for tailor and other pelagics.
