70%ludite Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Just got back from fishing the shoalhaven river.First time in my new boat.We got the second half of the runout tide and managed a dozen flathead to 50 cms and 2 flounder .7 keepers.All on plastics mainly squidgie fish with a red spike it added to the tail.Back again tomorrow morning and should get an extra hour of the tide.Hopefully conditions are as good as today.
arpie Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Well done & to Fishraider! We enjoy hearing of reports on the Shoalhaven. Do you ever go up & try for bass?? Squidgy fish are my favs for flatties & I dip the tail red, too! Cheerio Roberta

Cheerio Roberta Thanks Roberta Havent done any bass fishing up there as of yet.But have been a few times with limited success at the back of lake Illawarra.My decky for tomorrow is heading up there tonight.Let you know how he goes.They usually do quite well wading after dark.Aim to get a lot more fishing done now i have a boat.
Davemmm Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Any hints on what part of the river you have been fishing. A vague stretch will do. Roberta The only time I have targetted Bass was on the Shoalhaven. I went out with a bloke who is an absolute gun. All I caught was bream. I found it very amusing. Dave
kingpig Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 High Guys I camped on the river a week or so back up at a place called Coolendel. We put a canoe in there and went up the river through about 6 rocky runs that you had to drag the canoe up. We camped over night and came back the next day. We caught plenty of bass from 4cm up to about 45cm. Only about 7 of the fish were above legal size but there are plenty of fish. I estimate that between myself and my son we caught between 40-50 fish. In the dark they went crazy you could cast in the middle of the river and get a fish. Cheers Kingpig

I found it very amusing...... I had a good laugh at that one, too, Dave! Next time, make sure you go further upstream! I have it on very good authority that there are top bass further up the river! 70%ludite - hope your buddy got into some Well done Kingpig - I have yet to try for bass on a river at night! Hope to do so soon tho! What a terrific session! Roberta
