Brooklyn And The Heads

[lazydaniel]

After a few too many last night, our be on the water time of 7 turned in 930. We shot out to the heads with the plans to try and find some kings. The morning did not get much better after not finding any bait. Out comes the back up frozen squid. Once we got passed lion island the swell was up. And did not look like it was getting any better, nor help our sore heads. So went in search of some jews. Tried out the front on pittwater.. zip, both sides of lion island... zip drifted the whole river bank all the way back to brookyn and this time we got... zip tired both sides of dangar island, then off to the bridge and you guessed it... zip.. Pulled the boat out and went to the fish and chip shop... best catch of the day flathead fillets!

I feel your pain...fished all day in Woolooware Bay and Georges River for only one keeper flattie. At least I didn't have a hangover whilst fishing.

Tough day yesterday. We were on the water at Brooklyn at 6.30am. Fished the top of the tide at the rail bridge for a bag limit of catfish and one undersized jew. Moved to get out of the wind and landed 3 nice flathead & another undersized jew near Dangar Island as well as some more daytime catfish. At least each of the kids caught a flathead to take home - one of them at 58cm. 10 witches hats out for 6 hours and not one crab.

You were not along with lack of luck for crabs.

I do not know where you did crabbing. Though we did not spend 6 hrs crabbing, but the catch was same as yours - nil.

Very disappointed!!

We normally start off at Berowra, going upstream with 20min distances, any bay with little traffic, not aiming at any particular spots.

I heard fishing for certain species is kind of seasonal. Is crabbing a seasonal thing?

There were some heavy rains, but not last week.

The water seems not cold at all yet.

With limited knowledge of fishing and crabbing, I could not figure what was wrong.

First time since christmas that the crab catch was zero.

The rule of thumb is 'any month with an 'r' in it'
