inhlanzi Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 (edited) G'day Raiders Out early, fished the low tide for 4 to 5 very hard hours, nothing at all till about 11h00 - I was starting to think about packing it in when the action started. You guessed it the buggers moved in and snacked my jewie baits and I knew that was the end of the jewie fishing for a while. So out with the wire and into em. Then 4 Hairies ( Me 3 mate 1) , 1 Bream and 1 Soapie Jew (Both of these went back). Here they are 4 hairies. I will add two more pics further down.

inhlanzi Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 (edited) More of the Hairies As you can see I don't bother taking out the hooks till they have cooled down a bit! Here is a close up on the business end - Raiders have a plan ready on how too deal with these toothy worriors when you get them aboard - especially at night. I had a good giggle watching my mate deal with his. Cheers all, got to go and get some omega 3 in me. Have a good weekend inhlanzi Edited June 26, 2006 by inhlanzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inhlanzi Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 (edited) G'day slayer666 In the main body of the hawkesbury going for big jewies They took my livies ( tailor and yakka ) and cut through 80 lb jinkai and the I got the !#$%@ and put the wire and the gangs on em. They take fast and hard and you have to be ready. I lost at least another 4 or 5 today. Bait is old pillies. For some eason they prefer the olds berley pillies!!!!!!! And mate they taste awsome! Cook em like Ken says in tin foil bit of butter and a sueeze of lemon juice. I think they will be coming into the Cowan soon. cheers inhlanzi Edited June 17, 2006 by inhlanzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Its been a long time since I have seen Hairtail. Has any body got any thoughts why they are showing up this year and have been absent in past years in any numbers???? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevvie Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Every fish has cycles and i guess its come full circle again and they are appearing. We have good and bad seasons on Bream, Jews, Flatties etc so why not on hairies. Im just happy that they are here and it seems in quite healthy numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
