love2fish02 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hiya all. I have been fishing last w/end and this week at East Hills in the Georges River using prawns & worms 4 b8e. I cant believe not 1 nibble not 1 bite nothing. Is it 2 cold 4 the fish now Winter is here or has the rain washed them all away?? Any suggestions?? Thanx:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Swordfisherman will be able to give you the run-down on the Georges... he knows all the fish in there personally. In any system, the fish change behaviour as conditions change... but they don't just completely stop feeding for 3 or 4 months while it's cold. While feeding patterns change and different fish become more active in cold water, it's more likely to be just a day by day thing. As a hint... find the bait. If you can find a location in the river where you can see bait fish, prawns and so-on... the fish won't be far away. Hopefully Swordy and other raiders might be able to shed some light on where that is right now. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish53 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'd say there is still too much fresh in the river. If you move downriver towards the Bay you will be rewarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Are you landbased or in a boat? I fish that area quite a bit and it can be tough in winter What gear are you using? It is best if you use mainline no heavier than 4kg and leader no heavier than 3kg as small a sinker as you can get away with and a long leader at minimum 1 meter in length Live bloodworms or peeled fresh as possable prawns A little burley also helps I would use a handfull of chook pellets tossed in every 5 or so minutes around the area you are fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much hard work digging worms so on the odd time I fish with bait I buy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cut_loose Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) But how small is small. Try to find out. My mate said he had a light outfit for fishing around Port Mac for Flatties and Bream. Got there and he pulls out a 5-8kg Stick and a 6000 size reel with 20lb Mono. Edited June 12, 2010 by cut_loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steze Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I fish there quite often and live bloodworms and fresh prawns seem to always do the trick. Try fishing the run in tide, I notice the fish are generally of the bite when the tide goes low. Ive caught a 1.5kg whiting there before so its a pretty decent spot. Good luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
