henryinnis Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Does anyone have the GPS mark for the Flint and Steel? DOn't mind if its PM'd or anything, I'm just desperate to start sussing some spots in the Hawkesbury out for some flatties and jewies.

Guest DV8 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Henry Flint and Steel is fairly obvious, you shouldn,t need a mark for it. There is always a heap of boats on it. Probably the most valuable thing there would be the sounder, and you make a valued judgement on where you would like your bait to be given the current and the wind etc. Like most spots, dropping anchor at a simple GPS coordinate will be useless. Use your sounder like a telly, think like a fish, and think about what you are trying to achieve. Davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frantic Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yep the actual area is easy to find ,just look for the spot about as big as a tennis court with 40 boats sitting on top of each other.Others have already mentioned your most valuable asset (YOUR SOUNDER ). craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingrod Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 When sounding, if you havent been there before, your best off starting off about 20m off the red pole on the southern shore and then heading directly across the river towards Patonga Beach. It will be deep near the red pole, then rise up to the shallowest area/platform and then taper off deeper as you get 1/3 - 1/2 way across the river. Im not exactly sure on the midstream structure to be honest. That will give you a good idea of the general bottom topography and shape. Then just sound around until you find a area that you like. Everyone has their own spot. Some like the deepish water 50m off the red pole, some like the most shallow section and others like the edge more towards mid river. Personally I fish in-between the shallowest section and the deep area off the red pole. But ive never scored any trophy size. Good luck. Just a hint a sand anchor is not the best thing to use on the reefy areas. cheers Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
