BlueEye Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Off out this Friday to try our luck. Going to try Coal and Candle area, I alternate between Bayview and Akuna Bay for launching. What do you get in Coal and Candle this time of year, any particular tides or methods I should think about? Any input appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikila Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 The water up there at this time of year is usually crystal clear and ice cold so I don't fancy your chances but your got to be in it to win it. Fish in close to any rocks with a good covering of oysters for bream, jackets, wrasse, a live bait out may get you a Jew, flattie or maybe even one of those elusive hair tail and if your chucking plastic about give the jackets a miss.

BlueEye Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Thanks for the reply. Would I be better off in Pittwater or around Lion Island kind of area? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikila Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I understand there's a gale warning just in time for the weekend so keep an eye on the weather but all things being equal I would head for Lion Island but I've been wrong before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjustedpete Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Try flint and steel, drift over the weed bed for a flattie. Ditto for patonga beach, or try west head for a leather jacket they need thinning out. If you launch from Akuna then the oyster leases is the go. The railway bridge is another option. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEye Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Thanks adjustedpete, I think the Akuna launch will be on. Will watch out for the wind though as I HATE the wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
