Raii Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Would these areas be likely places/structure to target bream and flatties on SPs/HBs? I've caught bream, flatties and whiting here on bait but no luck with SPs, the substrate is mainly sand and more towards the mangroves mud. The water around this location is under 1 metre Under this mangrove is sand This mangrove is in mud and with a fair bit of rocks around with oysters growing on them. This is towards the right/further out of the picture above, likewise, mud. A concrete jetty, both sides sand, this is where iget most of my whiting, up close and out further, the jetty is visible in the first photo. So, are these areas likely places to target bream/flatties on SPs/HBs, around the jetty always holds small prawns and also small fish. To the left of the jetty always holds mullets jumping around Thanks, Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I would be fishing shallow running HBs over areas like that Best tide I reckon is the start of the runout as the fish start coming out of the mangroves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonator Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I literally used to live down the road and fished there as often as i could. Got good bream on chicken there, nevr gor a flattie, got busted off by something huge though a faior few times, try downriver towards the larger jetty...might have been a jew.

Davemmm Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Around our place this is good bream/flatty structure Just kidding Your fotos are showing damn good spots to perservere with. The bait fisho's will tell you to use all sorts of live or dead bait. The softies will give you a range of plastics and blokes who prefer HB's will give you a whole range of options. The fact is if you keep fishing that spot you will find when is best to fish (top of the tide or start of the run out should be good) and what the locals are prepared to take. All of the options already offered should work in a spot like that so have fun working out which is best for there.

The Iceman Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 how about poppers? i dont really have a variety of HBs, how about a smilin jack prawn Poppers are a good option I wouldnt be using SPs in the areas of oyster rocks due to snagging up If there are areas of no oyster rocks then prawn style sps or gulp worms will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
