jdwez Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Two weekends ago Long Reef was alive with bait fish, cleaned up on good size Snapper, anchored up burley trail etc. This weekend was terrible 1 Snapper only and I am sure he was the most unlucky fish in the sea as I am pretty sure he ran in to my hook by mistake.... Seriously did any one else think that Long Reef was poor this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukeka Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 We didnt fish long reef but from Barrenjoey north to Terrigal there was nothing. Tried usual spots, burley etc struggled to lose a bait. Ended up with a Bonito (off the bottom on a ganged pillie) and a flattie about 38cm, all caught withing about 20 minutes of each other first thing in the morning. Thinking we might be in for a good day, only to be filled with disappointment. Toughest day i've ever had out there. And to make things worse the neighbours calls in as we are cleaning the boat to show us his 11 dollies he picked up at the wide f.a.d. Oh well thats fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebi Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I went to long reef on Monday, caught 4 snapper, 2@35cm & 2@33. Not sure if you call that any good for long reef... What size was the one you caught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta hbar Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) We fished Long Reef on Friday... Swell was pumping, drift quick but we managed a feed of 6 snapper and a few of those pesky wrasse... We also trolled up 2 bonito on the way out.

jdwez Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 I went to long reef on Monday, caught 4 snapper, 2@35cm & 2@33. Not sure if you call that any good for long reef... What size was the one you caught? Bout the same as the ones you show in the picture [ 33cm ], I guess somedays are good, some not so. Thinking about it again I expected to clean up like the last time I was at Long Reef. My expectation let me down, as I was pumped about the last time I was out their 2 weeks ago. Try again this weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamW Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Fished monday for nine hours various positions off Broken Bay. Nothing but little reds & flatties,no keepers.I think the leatherys are coming back, snipped off a half a dozen times around the 50m mark (little buggers).Maybe next time.
