bream reeper Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 4.30am picked up my fishing buddy hany,dropped the boat in at yowie bay 5.30am,arrived out our usual spot plenty of surface action around,can tell something special was going to happen,anchored up and started to berley put the rods in not long after zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz the rods go ballistic,thought it might be a school jew but to our surprise 1 snapper at 51cms and the other at 38cms,this is in the bay not out the heads as you probably can see from the pics.Ended up with 2 lovely snapper,2 bream and 2 tailor not bad morning session
robeebee Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 nice fish mate I didn't know you could get reddies that big in the Hacking thought you you would have to go outside
brendong Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Looks like your were a fair way up river too...just a short stroll form Y bay ramp?
Sammy Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Great Snapper from the Port there mate! they go allright at that size don't they..
jewgaffer Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I didn't know you could get reddies that big in the Hacking thought you you would have to go outside There's some pretty good eating size snapper you've got there mulloway mick and the other fish made a real good day of it. Robbie by the clothing and the beanie gear it looks like the action might have started in the early morning, but then again coming back upriver to the boat ramp in the afternoon can be quite cold. Then there was the suspected jewfish run which could mean the snapper were caught in the river which doesn't surprise me because the larger snapper often hit the deepwater at Burraneer and the eighty foot around the boats at Gunnamatta. Then there's always SW arm to consider........ and Lily pilly to shiprock who knows? but if it was in the river I'll have a go at deepwater thinking about the set up. Maybe mulloway mick may make it easier for us and let us know only the approximate vicinty. Well done mulloway mick !! Cheers jewgaffer
barker Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 MM, great fish mate, that 51cm model is a beauty. good on you blokes for getting out there early. tell em nothin' - take em nowhere mate. hah hah.... unless you moved along before taking your pics, thats enough of an idea for even the average joe. great work and good to see some more southside guys.
Davemmm Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 tell em nothin' - take em nowhere mate. hah hah.... unless you moved along before taking your pics, thats enough of an idea for even the average joe. great work and good to see some more southside guys. I agree wholeheartedly. Theres no guarantee the pinkies will be there next time but post your exact spot up and there is a guarantee there will 30 boats there saturday morning. The Hacking holds a few fish like that (maybe not a lot of 51cm models) in a couple of different spots. Jewgaffer has named most of them. The best part of fishing is working out the right spot in the right conditions with the right bait not copying someone elses homework.LOL Mind you the pic does show the spot pretty clearly. Dave
nemo1203 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Really good mate well done. What did u use for bait.
bream reeper Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 Really good mate well done. What did u use for bait. believe it or not i used chicken fillet that was in the freezer for 3 weeks hahaha thats the truth.had live bait down there and the kingie prefered smelly chicken
jewgaffer Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I'll have to have a serious think about using a slab of fresh tripe for my next lot of jew baits. Seriously Cheers jewgaffer

Put in at grays point after fishing most of upper bays found spot in your photo as headed further east after no real action kids started to get bored . didnt anchor as you guys did just drifted between the points land about 20 pinkys 25 cm plus only 3 over 30cm but 33,35,37cm but that was enough for a feed so was more than happy thanks for your post as it helped make my day
rizzo Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Great reds for in the bay i gotta get sum of those well done on your efforts matey Rizzo
