kabz Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 what fish are you after? If ur after jewfish theres a spot just near lilli pilli theres a big hole there heaps of jewfish but if you want to target them get very fresh squid and live tailor or filleted tailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ur after jewfish theres a spot just near lilli pilli theres a big hole there heaps of jewfish but if you want to target them get very fresh squid and live tailor or filleted tailor I dont really know what to target at night as such. I was going to throw a decent size bait out deeper for hopefully a jew or large flatty In closer im hoping bream, whiting, flounder, flatty....not sure whate else. in morning and around sunset im hoping to pick up tailor, bonito, kingies on lure if they come close enough to the pontoon for me to cast over to.

kabz Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 you should get them jewfish around the hole at lilli pilli or yowie bay if you want big flatheads yowie bay hole, bream, whiting etc south west arm theres a little drop off right next to the sand bar next to a pole and also if you want kingfish, bonito and tailor troll or throw soft plastics around lilli pilli, gymea bay and around yowie bay but if ur gunna head out to the heads youve got a much better chance also where is the pontoon your talking about?

Dolmo Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) where is the pontoon your talking about? The pontoon is across from Lilli Pilli Baths I do not have a boat running at the moment so i am unable to trawl or head out to certain spots. The pontoon in in south caringbah...a private boatshed/pontoon In Turriel Bay or Great Turriel Bay...not sure which one is is over that side. I have caught many nice leatherjackets there, lots of small pinky snapper, few bream, flounder, flathead, whiting and even a blue groupert 2 years ago....its a good spot, just need to know what to do about the snaggy bottom at night, as during the day i can normal get around being snagged altough it does occur....maybe float fresh bait or live bait? I think the water gets around 10 - 15m mark out there, not to sure though. Edited January 22, 2007 by Dolmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lookin for places all around today off porthacking and some were ok, others seemed too shallow its private property mate...Grandparents place. There are a few good places around....what are you trying to catch? If you want Flatties, whiting, flounder or bream then try Grays Point Either right of the boat ramp or you go down grays point road and there is a parking area and you can walk out on the sand flats at low tide and work the channel. I havnt caught i flatty here but i know they are there, guy next to me caught a nice one off my berley trail the other week. I have picked up all legal size whiting..not a single throw away and had some nice hits without a hook up. Wallys warf is in a weird position, i would try there early morning in about 2 months So...what do i need to fish at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
