Yeeros Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 ok thanks . and whats the best bait to use in the hacking apart from nippers ??? Hi Hustler I find that pilchard fillets often work well on the bream and the trevally in the system. Best bet for the bigger fish is to get a really nice burley trail going then float down fillets of pilchard or nippers. With this we usually get some big 2-3kg trevally in the main channels. I also find that the bays near the moorings usually have big bream and sometimes some large Tailor as well. I'm also new to this site but i used to fish port hacking regularly till i sold my boat (guess i still fish it landbased but a boat is deffinately the go so enjoy) Yeeros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankman Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hi Hustler, you can also catch the odd John Dory around South West Arm in some of the deeper sections. Regards Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coollamon Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hey mate I used to live right on the Hacking and it can be a great place to fish, My advice would be the same as swordie's deffinatley hit the sand bar get some nippers and have a go off the drop off on the edge of the sand bar there are a few good whiting there as well as a mixture of other things scaly Also great Turriel Bay (probably spelt it wrong) is a good spot it goes to about 80ft there It is just before willarong rd point. Try fishing round the mourings with as little weight as possible you can catch Bream Hammerhead sharks(juvinile) Lemon sharks (juvinille also) I have even caught Gurnard there not reguly but I have got em and leather Jackets can be caught just of the rock wall by flicking Peeled prawns . Burley is deffinatley the key there though and you have to be willing to put in a fair few hours until the fishing turns on Hope this helps tight lines mate Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
