delta hbar Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hi Raiders, I've been reading some reports which have the seas pretty bad at the moment. Any thoughts on a trip tomorrow or should I give it a miss? Thanks. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickman Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) i fish longy fairly often and tomorrow it is e ese and 1.5meter swell i find any east wind above 10kn makes it fairly sloppy place to fish and i'm waiting for the wind to go nw witch will smooth it out wednsday is looking the pick off the week and would also be a good time to hit the fad for a looksy but if you have to go then you have to go good luck were ever you fish if it turns to shit just inside north head has plenty off trevs for a bit off fun cheers gary Edited November 7, 2009 by brickman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregL Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Just got back from a harbour run after some squid for dinner. Running across between south and north head had some swell pushing threw and I'd hate to be punching into it, the wind over night I think will push it up even more. The wind this morning was predicted the same for today and tomorrow with similar conditions on seabreeze. Evan and I both agreed today we would have pulled the pin if we were out there and were very glad we were only chasing squid. Just make sure you have plan B if you do go.

Dave. hey guys , headed out to longy this arvo around 3 for a soft plastic fish extremely choppy out there with a fast drift hard to stay in contact with the plastic but we still managed a couple of reds and rats but it was hard work, wouldnt recommend it unless you dont mind gettin wet and the odd spew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butch Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The President, Mr Dogus, the Professor and I went out today. Conditions were not all that bad, have seen worse, but not ideal. Nothing doin at the wrecks, came in closer to 24 metres of water, burley hard for some kingfish. Got busted off by one thumper. Also got busted up by what appeared to be quite a large snapper. It was a hard day at the office, looking forward to the next 3 months, long reef should come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta hbar Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) G'Day raiders, We got out there today. Around the heads were a little sloppy but persisted. Was a little calmer as we headed north. At North Head, we found some birds working and as I tied on the 10gm lure, about 5 boats also saw them. A couple of casts and nothing and with the seas like a washing machine pushed on. Up at Long Reef we fished in about 20m drifting. The drift was east to west. Probably should have anchored but we managed to find a couple of fish. Finished up with 5 snapper ranging from 35-45cm. Usual rubbish sweep and wrasse stealing baits. Allday, you're right about the odd spew, some of us were a little green around the gills. Butch, there was one boat which managed a big king, I think they were trolling though. Not sure if they were raiders or not. Wasn't fantastic seas but it's always good to get out for a fish.

Well done Dave..... always great to get on the water, and getting a good feed was a bonus.... Baits or SPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta hbar Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Certainly nice to bring something for the table. We fished baits. Hard to throw lures around with 5 on board. Hopefully able to get out again soon. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
