ilk fish Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Fished Molineux point on Friday 5/5/06. Small school of trevally worked the area, there were a few boats close together and all were berlying, but only one had the trevally school next to it. As soon as that boat left, the trevally school moved off to the next closest boat berlying. Tip, for trevally in that area, is to place a small yet "heavily" weighted bertly cage about 20 feet under the boat. There were also masses of yellowtail, for livebaiting they were a little too big, however worth trying. I placed one on and only had one kingfish hit, but no hook up. The yellowtail got into a feeding frenzy just an hour before sunset and really got in the way of catching trevally. Higlight of the day was seeing two large birds that looked as if they were a cross between an albotros, sea eagle and kookaburra, they looked massive and dived into the water from so high up, at incredible speeds, most of the time you couldnt see them dive through the air. They made a very load noise hitting the water, and would have easily dived to 6 metres to where the yellotail were working. Tip , in situations like this, dont even think of placing a yellotail on your mates head as a joke, PS does anybody know of any good beaches that are currently working well with salmon, I am prepared to drive 3 hours north or south of sydney. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrykrocker Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 the birds were probably cormorants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattieman Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 to the site, ilk fish. Nice report. I too have seen those birds. They don't seem to be cormorants. In response to your beaches question, North Entrance is normally good, on the Central Coast. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Guys, Those birds are Gannets. Related to Pelicans and Cormorants. The adults are mostly white and the young ones brown. Very impressive diving into the water. Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
