DarkHorse Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) Sorry for all the different posts but have decided to try Port Hacking surrounds tomorrow preferably chasing Bream and Flatty's. Got Hard Bodies, Soft Plastics and also Hawkesbury Prawns, peeled. Should I try chicken breast pieces as well? Was told to peel the prawns and put in a small amount of salt and sugar?? What is the best rig for the peeled prawns? In the past I have used long leader with ball sinker->swivel->leader and long shank hook. Any good spots to anchor up/drift, have GPS and sounder combo. Any recommendations, idea's, thoughts or comments PLEASE let me know. Thanks again. Rob Edited January 12, 2009 by DarkHorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korg20000bc Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) G'day Rob, Sounds like a good day. A good drifting and casting spot for flathead is the mangroves opposite Gundamain point. Gray's Point would be the closest boat ramp there. Another good spot to drift is in front of the Telford boat shed. Absolutely monster bream and blackfish there. Also groper but they're protected, I think. Excellent squid in the channel just off the Rathane boat shed, over the weed beds. Can get excellent schools of salmon and tailor in the deep water off Warrumbul. Flathead, bream, whiting and blue swimmer crabs at Maianbar and Bonnie Vale. Great stuff!

DarkHorse Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 G'Day Matthew! Thanks for your reply. Well we went out to the Hacking today, wife and kids in tow. Had an assortment of hard bodies, soft plastics and Hawkesbury Prawns. Fished a small "bay" not far from the Gray's Point boat ramp. My daughter was the first in and within seconds got a small pink snapper! My son then scored a small whiting and the wife a small bream and so on. No keepers. Moved on and fished the southwest arm into the upper reaches, again a few small fish on s.p's otherwise nothing. Not a bad day as such, nothing to take home but the wife and kids had a great day! Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPL Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Sorry bout the late reply, but if possible scrap the prawns, dont use them, try and pump nippers from Maianbar, that is when you go out next.

Davemmm Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Sorry bout the late reply, but if possible scrap the prawns, dont use them, try and pump nippers from Maianbar, that is when you go out next. Nippers are an absolute must when fishing the Hacking. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHorse Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Other than pumping them myself (which I still have to learn) I would assume that the bait kiosk near there would sell live nippers? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
