Guest bluecod Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 My eldest boy went down to Mona Vale for a surf today and on the way back home stopped off at Narra Lake for a bit of a fish near Woolworth's - he managed a couple of small bream and one flatty[released] and a 35cm whiting destined for his mother's breakfast, her favourite eating fish so at least he's in the good books! He also mentioned that he saw a number of good flathead [50 to 60 cm] caught in close proximity to where he was fishing - the 60cm job being caught by a bloke in a canoe fitted with two outriggers.

Narralakes Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Your son did well BLuecod, that is a big whiting, what did he get that on? Heaps of lizards getting caught at that spot. That guy in the outrigger is there alot, when I was fishing there a few weeks ago at midnight, he was there then as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Good size Whiting On Friday afternoon I was down at Narrabeen bait and Tackle admiring some new photos of large flathead 50cm odd. They were caught on SP the day earlier (Thursday) late afternoon at the bridge Woolworth’s side. It seem the lake is starting to fire up and the flathead are on the prowl.

Guest johblow Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I was at the woolies bridge sat AM until about 9, and managed two flatties, a bream and a leatherjacket. First time i've fished that spot, and really enjoyed it. I was using yabbies that i had pumped at maianbar in anticipation of a boat trip on the harbour, but my mate (with the boat) pulled the pin due to the wind forecast. Anyhow, yabbies go quick so its never boring when using them! Saw a bloke fishing off the birdge for poddys, and a few boats cruising around. The boats didnt get anything as far as i saw - they arrived too late. Really enjoyed reading Kens article this morning after fishing there on the weekend. Great work!

bombora Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Good stuff guys; the bridge area has been going off these past few weeks. Have tried the back of the lake a few times in between bridge sessions and it's been dead up there for me at least. cheers Bombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluecod Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 (edited) Mitch and Narra, Being a typical 18 yo he didn't stray far from the carpark. He fished both sides of the island and in the gutter between the island and the carpark. Not much effort put in but he got the bait right - live beach worms, though at $1.30 each he should learn how to catch them himself. You probably saw him down there Mitch - Eurasian kid about 6'2" in white boardshorts and by the look of his burn - no shirt or just singlet. Wife reports the whiting was great on the plate. Bung - your mates flattie is a ripper! On closer look, what was he using for a lure?

Lizardboy Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 G'day Fella's, I christened my new canoe and electric with a 62cm lizard from up the back of the lake right on dark last night, it took a slow trolled Ecogear SX40, I was lucky to land it in the end...couldn't see a bloody thing, must have had four or five shots trying to get it in the net...I was lucky the 6lb leader held up and that I was able to retreive the lure that was way down the back of his gob before release....barbless hooks helped me and the fish That 92cm flattie is a corker for the lake, nice to here people are getting a few fish out of the lake lately.

Spanker Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 When I was in high school I had a mate who lived on the lake about 6 houses on the north west from the bridge. I remember walking along the backyards along the water and some of the old wooden fences had had flathead heads (funny sentence) nailed to them in the past. Mostly there were just 3 nails in a triangle, some had wispy white strings of cartledge on them. Anyway some of the 'triangles' were truly massive. It was a long time ago but probably in the vacintity of 12 inches across the head. One night we were having a BBQ out the back there and I was ankle deep in the water looking at the bridge. I heard a little splash at my feet and looked down to see a great dirty beast of an octopus about to ensnare my foot. Scared the s*%t out of me. Lake has been so abusseed for so many years but it just keeps on giving - amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narralakes Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Good onya Bung, and to your mate too, that is a true fisho Spanker, my son caught a squid there 2 summers ago, not huge, maybe 40cms long head to tentacle, we were surprised as well, let it swim off. Youre right, the lake has copped some abuse in the past, but to its credit, it is a great fish nursery and holds some good fish as seen by everyone, esp lately in that moster lizard caught by Bung's mate. If we all look after it, it will be here for alot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanker Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I had a look at the lake at the bridge for the first time in a few years about a month ago. I was shocked at how much it has changed. The topographics of the shoreline and bottom were really different, also the water was no where near as clear. Probably this is just cyclical. Actually I tell a lie, I fished the south east side of the bridge with my brother about 20 months ago. The edge of the water in front of woollies. The water was chockers, and I mean absolutely boiling, with small mullet, bream, tailor and drummer. We were throwing bread out and the shallows were just swarming. Great sign of lake being as you said a nursery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
