Outnumbered Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 some of the bigger ones i've caught have been at the hot water outlet, not there in great numbers but the size is generally larger for some reason. watts reef is a more productive area. another way i've caught them is to be lazy, when drifting anywhere in the bay i have had a daisy chain type rig with 3 different sized squid jig (biggest on the bottom about 1/2 mtr apart) just bouncing along just off the bottom. i havent targeted them in over a year as i've been more into lure fishing so i hope someone can give you more up to date info.

Geoff Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Brian Could you expand on your comment I have had a daisy chain type rig with 3 different sized squid jig (biggest on the bottom about 1/2 mtr apart) just bouncing along just off the bottom. Do you mean a dropper rig (ie Snapper rig) If I recall correctly "Daisy Chain" was when the stem of the second daisy was placed in a small slot near the end of the stem of the first & so on until all the flowers were linked together Is this what you are reffering , if so how do you link them together Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inked Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Gday steve I have been wondering this too. A bloke at the local tackle store told me he usually catches them over near La peruse (near bare island) I had a crack at them on the weekend, but no joy. I'm really keen to hit some. both to eat myself, and for the kingies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 La peruse near the resteraunt at night is a good spot, theres a telegraph pole with a light that attracts them. I have had a few very good sessions there, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

femalefisho Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hello. Jim and I used to get them near Molineux where that little beach part is. often topless women i have noticed! When they were on we would get heaps and big ones too! but then sometimes might only get 2 or 3 but they will get you straight away if they are there. Not a good description but i suppose if you know mol you will know where i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) ok u guyes looking for the nude beach its on the bare island side and head out to sea on the northern side there are 2 beaches its not the first one its the one thats further out to sea enjoy note there are blokes there to for u women aswell its gotya work both ways or it dont work at all!!! I fished near that beach(Little Congwong)once and I'll never do it again. We pulled up dropped anchor and within minutes all these rock spiders emerged on to various rocks,was not a pretty site let me tell you.Two of them were engaged in behaviour thats best left in the bedroom. My local paper says that residents nearby have formed an action group,to try and make people wear their clothes or something at this beach,bcoz of the actions of some of the men that frequent this beach,and also its not a designated nudist beach. So there,if your not into that sort of behaviour,you have been warned. penguin Edited September 24, 2006 by penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yes correct penguin. Up until 2 years ago I lived in the Maroubra area born and bred Eastern Subs and that beach is not a "nudist" beach. Randwick Council voted not to make it a "clothing optional" beach. It is a beach that harbours mostly men. There is also a real problem with littering from the by products of activitites that go on there. Public notices were put up asking persons who witness any incidents of offensive behaviour to report them to Crime Stoppers!!! Yes a nice little spot but don't venture down the stairs to that beach unless you have an open mind Go around to Yarra Bay for a dip, much nicer Cheers mrsswordfisherman Sorry to get , maybe this should go to The Bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
