tricks Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 g'day guys went down to narrabeen lake this morning. got there before the sun came up and things were looking good started to berley up and first cast bang a nice flathead (my dinner tonight) second cast a nice little bream which went back in, then the ducks came along and there went my berley anyhow i caught a huge stingray which i broke off when it came close so becareful if your walking in the lake. after an hour or so the crowds started to show up and its like the fish backed off too. went up a little further up towards the caravan park to chase some whiting but with no luck. only one fish for dinner but thats all i need, was great fun to fish the lake again. cheers patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmoshe Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Good on you Patrick, nice flattie. Yes, those whiting just didn't want to play today but must have seen thousands of them in the shallows. Funny how they can be on the chew one day and not the next. I will try them again early next week as I suspect this weekend will be like Pitt Street down there with fishos. Cheers, Pete.

I fish for them on the same drop offs i am talking about out the front of the caravan park on the incoming tide. usually though they are only there in winter, though when I was a kid it was shoulder to shoulder blackfisherman in jan/ feb. Haven't seen it like that for years though. You may be hard pressed to get a quiet fish in until all those holiday makers GO HOME. Us locals hated them!! davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbark Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 are they good eating each to their own, but if they're cleaned properly and skinned i think they're quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
