Leatherjackets

[Moro Mou]

Hi Raiders,

I went for a plastics/bait session yesterday afternoon on the change of the tide in Middle Harbour. First few casts were all quite but the third produced a few taps. On inspection of what was left of the rubber a few small bite marks were revealed. A new rubber was put on for the same result. At first i thought they were small tailor but after watching in the water i noticed schools of small leatheries.

I changed to bait and eventually landed a few for a feed but it was tough going as baits were monstered within seconds and my hook was a little big.

I must admit i thought these schools were limited to offshore locations not right up the harbour. Has anyone else had this problem?
