Thanks Guys G'day Yobleduwop and to the site. I can't help you I'm afraid as i don't know that area. But I bet some others here know the area well and will be willing to lend a hand. Hope you enjoy the site and look forward to some great reports from you in the future. Cheers, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk-fishn Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 gday little box should usually hold them just a small hook around size 12 and a small piece of bait in a breley trail should do or try the sabiki bait jigs nothing beats them!!! you could always try of the pillbox over at westhead theres usually heaps there but quite a few boats as well. cheers pk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reely Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 One day they are there, the other nothing, the water has been too cold and dirty still, hence they are not there yet in numbers and not holding. ALot of warmer water pushed in this week, so give it another week or two. I know the spot your talking about, its just that the water has not really pushed close to shore thise season yet.

yobleduwop Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Maybe my hooks have been to big, i just remember same time last year catching heaps and every time dropping a unweighted bit of squid or pillies and picking off 6 a trip in about 10 minutes, last couple of times i've caught one yellow tail, does the cold water we've had recently or the current make them move further off towards box head?

Guest Reely Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Slimies need very very very fresh water, what i mean by fresh is clean, lots of oxygen in it, oxygen rich sea water is what they like, and clear and clean, there has been alot of murky run out water from the River and BWaters, they wont hang around that water. Give it a few more weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DV8 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 welcome to the site. What time of day are you fishing? I fish that area heaps too. I usually target the Yakkas and slimeys either early in the day or late in the afternoon ( but that pretty much goes for all my fishing). I find i waste a lot of time there outside those times.

yobleduwop Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 I think i've been there around 8 to 9 o'clock, only because i've been picking up big flat head at half tide rocks, i might start going there first then coming back for the flatties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
