yartz Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Spent a few days earlier in the week down past Ulladulla and had a serious thirst for some beach fishing. Got down and conditions looked pretty perfect with high tide in the early morning and evening. Returned to a beach which has always produced good bags of bream and whiting and there was a pretty killer gutter that must have stretched for just under 100m along the beach. This photo isnt brilliant because its only taken at mid-tide so the gutter isnt quite in full swing but you can get the gist of it: Anyway, probably around four or five 3-4 hour sessions along this gutter using pippis, beach worms and lures only got me about 4 barely legal whiting, a few flatties and a few small salmon. I did get busted off by what I think was probably a monster bream but nothing to show for that... Still cant work out why such a good looking spot fished so poorly, but I'll be back for further investigation next week I reckon..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcel haber Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Bad luck mate...... Hold your rod high and stick with it. Try using a surface popper mate on a patternoster rig setup. I have had some good results this way. Have the popper on the top patternoster and use bait on the lower patternoster with a good surf sinker on the bottom. Excellent rig for flatties and bream.

Twin 1 Sounds interesting mate I might have to give that a crack. What sort of popper do you generally use? Yartz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water has become very cold with the strong n/e winds pushing the warm water off the surface and the cold water rising to the top(forgot what this is called). I reckon this turns the fish off the bite. The southerly winds have returnted and will bring back the warmer water and hopefully also the fish. quaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
