Flano Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Took the handbrake out for a fish on Sat for the 1st time during winter. Hoping for a few at least with the tide high around 11.30am. Checked eerything, except the barometer. Everything in fine working order BUT the ""B". My day:- * 3rd runway - 1 bite (maybe a small snapper bumperd into the line accidentially) * Molli point (1st time ever) - 3 waves from different boaties * Kurnell - toilet break * Brighton - a sandwich * Como (Yeah !!) - baby flounder * Home - checked barometer (1005) No wonder. The missus now has settled on only coming out fishing when it gets warm.Now..... if only it would fire up Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish53 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Flano, Know exactly what you mean. I was out on Monday 9 with nippers, pilchards, burley and plastics. Tried all over for 2 Banjo sharks and 1 50cm Salmon on the last cast of the day near Taren Point Bridge. I too went all over with the above being the only bites I got.

Jewdreamer Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Know what you mean Fellas! Ralph and I hit: Inside the Bare Island Bommie 2 hours burleying and chucking big plastics at the start of the run out - Big Donut Inside Bare island - Zilch Bothe side of the Molly wall - Nada The Hot water outlet - Squat. The Kurnel groynes - zip The third runway - one little bump! No birds working anywhere we could see, no bent rods on any of the boats we could see. water temp 14 degrees all over except the HWO with got to 17 degrees down current, but still nothing on the sounder. It sure was shut down. At least it was a nice day till the predicted 12 knot Northerly came up and went around 20 knots!. Best of luck to those going out today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGO Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 * Home - checked barometer (1005) No wonder. So i take it Barometer reading of 1005 isnt a good thing. what would be deemed as good for fishing..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGO Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 An old saying goes; 1020 & the fish are plenty.... That's easy to remember. So 1020 is higher than 1005. I was under the impression high barometric pressure was bad for fishing.? Is that correct.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus now has settled on only coming out fishing when it gets warm.Now..... if only it would fire up Mick Hi Mick, The answer to catching fish any time any where is to burley and burley hard. I also on Saturday morning fished Molix point with a guy in his boat that never seems to catch many fish at this time of the year.We anchored, I started a burley trail with bread and tuna oil. After 15 minutes and no fish my mate wanted to up the anchor and move around the Bay. I said give the burley a chance to attract. This is why he probably never catches fish at this time of year.Cut along story short, within a couple of hours had 5 trevely and 5 bream in the bucket. Threw back heaps of under size fish as well. Happy days. Cheers, Starman, Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flano Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 The answer to catching fish any time any where is to burley and burley hard Thanks Gabe. We didn't burley at Mollie or the 3rd runway but did other places. While we were at Mollie we saw 3 guys fishing from a boat with 1 continually burleying up. They caught 3 that we saw in about an hour, no-one other boat did among about 6 there. I reckon the guy burleying did so every 5 minutes so you are right. Maybe that was you, it was around 10ish am.

We burleyed a bit, we used bread and water and bled the first salmon into the mix as well. We have a lot of hook ups but because we were actually trying to get yakkas on size 10 hooks we kept getting busted off. The fish woiuldn't touch the bait with the bigger hooks or bait. Though I did land a sambo with a pilchard on a gang slowly released into the burley trail. The only thing that took my live yakka was a barracouta? I think thats what it was. Kinda like a hairtail only shorter and shorter teeth? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Hi Mick, Spot on mate that was me hanging out of the centre console throwing burley over the side. I just soaked some old bread rolls, mashed it all up, put some tuna oil and periodically threw some over the side. I also had some old pilchards from a past fishing trip and was cubing them out the back of the boat as well. A bag of stale bread from the local bakery is only $2.00 so cheap as well. Works a treat.

eddiebeast Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 fished the bay on sunday morning got 10 keeper bream 29-38 cm 1st of rup tide I've only fished the bay by boat 3 times now and we only seem to get sambos, trevs, kings, and tailor. Haven't landed a flathead or a bream yet. Must be fishing the wrong spots or baits. Any advise? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keflapod Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 fished the bay on sunday morning got 10 keeper bream 29-38 cm 1st of rup tide Good on you Oarderve, Tell 'em there are fish in the bay ALL year. I fish the bay all year and although the spots, baits and techniques are different, I always find a feed. My buddy fished the bay on Saturday from 6:00am to 10:00am or so before the wind sent him home. He got 14 bream and a couple of decent whiting. I can't say spots but he was fishing in 1.5m of water at 13 degrees. Large peeled prawns did the damage and his best 4 fish went 39cm, 41cm, 43cm and 46cm. These fish are too big for my pallet but it shows they are there... He sent me a photo as well - on my phone - will try to post, but they seem like black bream to me......
