Where Have All The Fish Gone!

[toikle]

I headed out tonight for a bit of LB action at the spit with my mates, we had 4 rods between us all with different rigs, had chicken gut, prawn, squid and pilly and couldn't lose a bait for 3 hours between us!

Anyone had any luck in middle harbour or that area recently? I have caught nil in like 3 weeks, going insane here..

Made a half-arsed attempt for jews tonight with squid freshly jigged at the spot. No touches but my baits got slowly nibbled away.

I am starting to dread each session before i even go out. Dreading the constant failure and disappointment

Can't wait till winter is over

for the past about 3 weeks.. i haven't caught ANYTHING.

the last half decent fish i caught were at the entrance three weeks ago... come back to sydney and fish another 10-15 sessions and get nothing. i can list everything i've caught in the last three weeks off the top of my head.

went out to gordans bay in clovelly from about 5pm till 9pm with a mate. intended to have a go off the rocks and try the baths. was met with incredible waves and swell - thought better of it. tried fishing into the baths/snorkelling reef thing and didnt even get bites. eventually caught a tiny rock cod on a 12ft rod which i hadnt' realized i'd caught. tried to butterfly it (it was so dead from the fight that the poor fish wasnt moving much at all when i brought it up. god knows how long it was sitting on the hook without me realizing) and cast it back as shark bait (maybe i'd get lucky)

got nothing else for the whole night between two guys and three rods in four hours except a shitload of lost tackle.

i guess the fish don't like big waves near the rocks and high tide/windy conditions at night. lesson learned

On holidays mate. Still some trevors & blackies about. Can't wait till late October but atm checking out a couple of likely looking spots.

CHEERS ESKY

Hi Esky I called into Moorebank boat ramp with Shirl on the way back from Kevin's yesterday afternnoon and a bloke who knows you well was fishing off the jetty there and was burleying all the time and couldn't lose lose a bait without getting a hook up......The end result was a broken rib, a busted reel seat and an old oven and a wheel barrow and it seemed his best of the day was a salad sandwich his wife made him, any way he said to thank you for the tip whatever that means....

Cheers
