sydharbourfisho Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 the kingfish aren't really around there anymore and is why you're not catching em.. im not too sure of the samsons coz ive never heard of them being caught there but the leatheries are plentiful there along with yakkas lol thats all you're gna get this time of year along with the trevors here n there.. wait til summer for the kings n use well presented fresh squid to attract them.. you can try n catch squid at clifton but its really hard as there arent many left due to overfishing in that area.. good luck!

slinkymalinky Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hey Pescatore, For something different try drifting among the moored boats in places like Watsons Bay or North Harbour with either bait or soft plastics on the bottom. You should pick up some good flathead. A small livie in any deep holes or drop offs in the same area might connect you to a John Dory or 2. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stricko4 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Mate if you want to brush up on your squidding skills there has been plenty there over the past few weeks. Apart from that unless you are after little reddies, yakka or some nice trevors & jackets you will be disappointed until the water warms up again. Though you will pick up some good sized bream through winter you just can't rely on them as being a regular catch. Good luck. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloosh Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 You're right about the garfish jin! Caught 2 dozen of em on the weekend - no kings were around to take em though. yeh in the next month or so, the bigger trevs shouldbe popping around the wharf in good numbers, and so should the sambo's.
