connolly Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Does anyone have any suggestions for a landfish at The Entrance? Not sure what gear you have but here are a few options; * The entrance itself has heaps of fish (mostly undersized) that can be caught when the flow slows down ie. high and low tide which is about 2-3 hours later than the time the tide charts say that it will occur. There are usually plenty of blackfish there too but you usually need specialist gear for them. Get some fresh live bait like worms or yabbies from one of the local bait shops and fish the "slack" water and you're bound to catch something. Even the blackfish love the yabbies. * The north entrance beach is an awsome place to fish. Cast into a deep hole or the edge of one where the flow isn't belting along the beach sideways. Worms and yabbies can get you bream. whiting and flathead. A pilchard or a large piece of one could get you tailor, salmon or flathead. This stretch of beach has everything from tiny whiting to huge (up to 40kg) Mulloway. You could also try throwing lures into the deep holes for tailor, salmon (common at the moment) and flathead. the tailor usually only come in at dawn and dusk. Hope this is some help. Reeltired.

connolly Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Hello again Wendyb Not so sure about boat fishing but could have an educated guess. I have been boat fishing there once and it was windy and so choppy that we thought the boat would flip over for sure. My guess would be to either drift for flathead (but the cold water might have put them half to sleep) OR to fish near the "drop offs". To fish the "drop offs" just anchor or drift/putt around in the deeper water within casting distance of a place where it suddenly gets shallow again. Cast a fresh, live bait or lure towards the shallower water and work it slowly back towards the boat or even just let it sit there for a while. I went out in my boat sightseeing in Port Hacking yesterday and noticed heaps of mullet milling around in the shallow water. Sooo it could be worth trying for them (assuming they are around up there at the moment too) with a piece of bread suspended under a small float and enough bread to berley to keep them close by but not so much to have them spooked by sea gulls swooping at the floating bread. If you have access to a small bait/fish trap, the really small (poddy) mullet can be caught in the shallow water in the lakes and they are the best bait on the planet for flathead and good for big bream too. Check the state regulations though. I think it's 20 per person under 15cm per day. reeltired Sorry that's 20 poddy mullet under 15cm per person per day not people under 15cm.
micksfishn Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 hey wendy if you can get your hands on a yak head down to the boat ramp paddle across the channel walk accross the sand bar(watch out for rays) which will open you up into some great weed beds with sandy patches all through there water depth averages 2-3 foot, polarised glasses a big help work the sandy patches between the weed beds with plastics or hard bodies and poppers in the warmer months fish to expect bream,flathead,whiting and black fish well thats wat iv got from out of there nearly every time i hit that place good luck mick
