Heyy

I am going up to Brisbane Waters on Friday and i was wondering if the fish are biting there at the moment?. Also where is a good boat ramp and where would i be able to catch live bait such as nippers and worms. :biggrin2:

Cheers

Hi Panooch,

Its been pretty quiet round here lately, For livies from Woy Woy head down the channel to little BoxHead and take a left towards Big Box Head and there is a spot called iron ladders, The point on the Western Side holds good schools of Yakkas and the occasional slimey just sound them out and you won't have any dramas. If you are heading south, west head to the south western side of Lion Island also has plenty of Yakkas and the Occasional Squid.

We had a fun day last week targeting hammerheads as there wasn't to many decent fish around. Outside there was heaps of Yakka Schools on the surface with nothing chasing them. So we caught 4 extra large yakkas and put them out under balloons. Hooked three Hammerheads but were busted off after good fights then landed a 14kg Bronze Whaler. Just an idea if you also get bored waiting for the decent fish to bite.

Good Luck

Nathan.

Ps.

Thats Woy Woy Lions Park Boat ramp in my Avatar. Don't Use Blackwall Lions Park Is much Safer more people around.

Flatties and Bream are the main target species in BW but i think they are overfished, flatties in particular, around the racks and shallow drop offs have been good for me in the past.

There are heaps of good spots on BW. I have to agree tho the fishin has been slow the last month, think the water temp is colder than usual, I think.

We had a good run of whiting at the top of paddys channel near the saratoga sand flats, where the current runs over the weeds. There seem to be a lot in the system. I've never had any luck in Paddys channel other than lil squires.

Even on the run out tide near the moored boats south of the rip bridge on the eastern, Daileys Point side. I chucked out a big bait on one side into the deeper water, and out towards the boats for whiting, was good fun.

My favourite spot has to be Ettalong sandflats, anchoring up on the edge of the flat on a runout tide, chuckin out Sp, popper, bait onto the sandflat, and letting it drift over the edge into the dropoff, no luck try again.

I agree with the little bay out past Little Box Head for bait, even trolling around from box head back to the markers, good chance for tailor, garfish.

I was talkin to a bloke who was fishin the Punt bridge at just after East Gosford, and he was pickin up Estuary Perch and Bream.

G'day, I spent a lot of time on Brisbane Waters when I lived at Saratoga, I reckon the 2 best spots I found were just on the northern side of the St Huberts Island Bridge, any where along the island side of the channel, best on a run in tide, and the other spot is the short channel between the bensville broadwater and the Kincumber broadwater, it was always good for Flathead and bream. Good luck, it gets a bit busy up there.

I live on the Gosford side and the only place to fish there is the Rail bridge, everyhere else is dead quiet... I normally hit the sand flats with poppers and SPs for good whiting and Flathead... Also pumping nippers will 100% increase your catch.. I hope for it to get better this month. but yes it has been hard. Hence why Bass has been my main target.

As Luffy said Punt bridge is good but overcrowded at times, I have also got Eps and Bream there.

At this point Sand flats are the key... and don't overlook water under a foot deep. I got a 41cm whiting last week in water like this on a nipper and with the sun high at 2pm.

what abot box head

Gotten bait there quite a few times before, have never had a problem getting them. Just get a burley trail going and they should be there in minutes. Generally i find they are big yakkas up around 25-30cm which can be a bit of fun in their own but sometimes you find slimies there as well but normally <20cm.

Cheers
