paulg Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hi all, great forum. This is my first report. Hit Rose Bay last Thursday night. Boat was in the water at 4pm. First Spot Managed 1 snapper 38 cms and 1 flathead 50 cms on pillies on the first two casts in about 10mins. Went back to ramp after half an hour and picked up a mate that came with fresh prawns, the red cooked ones ?????? : Then headed to spot two. at about 5:30 pm. By six o clock pm, tide was starting to run in. We managed 4 extra snapper 32 - 33 cms, 2 bream 28 cms and 31 cms, and 6 tailors over 30 cms. Got a huge hit on the 6 kg outfit, but it took the lot.... Also managed 15 - 20 snapper around 29 cms that were thrown back to fight another day... Bites dropped off at about 9 pm, then we packed it up. All in all a great in the bay. PS: red cooked prawn caugh zilch. All fish were caught on last weeks pichards that were supposed to used for burley. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWZAT Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 G`day Fellas , Don`t knock those cooked prawns as bait.... MR-RB , because sometimes they work a treat. For Instance ....November here last year , came across a pair of Poms fishing well up the beach here at Old Bar. Wandered over to say g`day , and to my surprise , they had caught 3 stonker bream on the cooked prawns . I have done OK myself on occasions as well , but never caught anything to test the scales .
