greg123 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 hi all, i have'nt posted any repots yet so i thought i would report yesterdays trip, however unfortunate the weather may have been. Headed out from Apple Tree Bay around 6:30 and drifted Patonga beach for some flatty which we didnt get however we did land a tailor, a medium sized bream and a squid. Then headed over to Juno point in search for something bigger. After butchering the squid into some bait strips we put a couple of lines out and cast 2 light rigs towards the shorline and let them drift with the current. One of the lighter rigs went of fairly quickly and we landed a nice 39cm bream at the same moment an octopus had taken hold of the other rig, a half hour later the same rod went off with something decent but the leader must have snagged on something sharp as i reeled up a piece of shredded line. All in all a good morning. As im fairly new to fishing i was wondering if anyone could give me advise on where (around the hawkesbury, pittwater, cowan region) to catch some sort of live bait (squid or anything else), and what would be the most effective methods to do so? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried Juno before with no luck at all.. Should I go close to shore? stay out from shore? and what direction from the point?

Josh88 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Great bream mate, squid are extremely abundant in cowan, long bay and twilight inlet are great places to target them. They are arrow squid so i wouldn't plan on catching them for a feed. Yakka's can be caught at various places in cowan, waratah bay is a good spot.

greg123 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thanks a lot, whats the most effective way to catch yakkas in cowan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh88 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 You need to set up a burley trail that is quite consistently flowing, a very fine mash of bread crumbs, tuna oil, old bits of bait and stuff should do the trick, then put some really small bits of pillie or prawn onto a long shank hook about size 10 and you should get a few no worries. Otherwise you can try using bait jigs in amongst the burley trail. Cheers Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
