Didnt know theyd be so active in there G'day mate! sounds like you're hitting your target species so well done - I'm sure they'll only get bigger Co-incidentally, after all my rather lack-luster efforts up at Mona Vale I was also scouting La Perouse but I don't think I'd be as dedicated as you to pull a 2am-5am! Hope you rugged up mate and kept yourself and your gear warm! Were you down at Bare Island or up in Frenchman's Bay? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah starting to hit them fairly reguarly, once you kinda sit down and pan out the diets and movements they're still hard to target but you kind of get the feel for them, and well hopefully they will just keep getting bigger.. and i wouldn't have headed to bare island at night not with the weather recently down in frenchmans bay, did grab a look at the swell on the island before i left and it looked pretty hairy.. and me and a few of the fella's are actually heading up to mona vale again this weekend, we got 30 kilo's of off fish from a market and it'll make top burley, i'll be taking on the noahs while couple of the others will be targetin the jews.. each to their own i guess, we will have to catch up sometime and wet a line, oh and you'd be pleased to know the noahs have all be caught with my free floating hook rig, (although the addition of some cable ties to keep the hook proud of the bait has worked well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor78 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Ive only caught bronizies to a meter at bare island ive never seen any thing bigger then that there. If your keen i know some south coast spots to fish that have Bronizies up to 3meters if your lucky land based. I just need a parnter to fish them as i dont fish alone at night off the rocks PM if your interested Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchh Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Talking about big FAT zero off the Mona Vale beach, that's exactly what I have got in the past 2 weekends totaled 4 trips. Went yesterday again and the sea was packing moutains of waves that would have killed any fish dare to get closer. Persisted for 2 hours got only a small flattie right on the 33 cm mark which I released to get a bit more margin. Another little fish I caught was the little fella in below pictures. I have no idea what it is and did not get answers when checked with two passing surfers. Took two pictures with the phone and returned it to the water before it got too stressed. The weather was a bonus though knowing there was a big storm down the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotbite Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Might be a Stargazer.....May be Slinky or Ray R can confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettmann86 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Have absolutely no idea what that is.... weird looking thing i'll give it that!! it's not a stargazer looked that up on google images and it's not that i wouldn even know where to start with that one but defiantely worth finding out... looks like some kind of eel or a deformed flatty and when we head up to mona vale this saturday were going for broke we've got enough watery style burley to sink a ship!! we'll catch something worthwhile or freeze trying!!!!
