craigbutcher Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Had a great Black Fishing session in the harbour last weekend. Seems as though the beaches are holding good Drummer (and zero blackies) and the harbour is holding good Blackies (and zero drummer) Is this usual scenario for winter fishing? I usually boat fish for snapper / kings etc, however, I took up Black Fishing as my Dad loved it and was interested in it. Thanks for the input Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Well done Butch on a great catch! A couple of those look to be magnificent specimens!! If you haven't tried it before, check out my 'smoking' recipe in the Cooking section. So easy & so tasty. Only need to gut them!

rickster Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I've fished the harbour for more years than I care to remember and only once have I ever caught a drummer and that was at Cremorne and only about 500gm. Blackfish definetely a winter species in the harbour and generally start back off the rocks from about September on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinthePom Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 The Blackfish seem to be prolific throughout the Harbour this winter with the bigger fish inside the bridge but I have not found Drummer west of Bradley's Head. However I'm still feeling my way at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigbutcher Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 I actually fished the harbour heads for drummer / blackfish last weekend. Managed 7 blackies and a good sized drummer in about 2hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
