mhiley Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hey raiders Me and Higgs went to North Narrabeen beach again last night and had good results. Was a slow first few hours, got there about 630, but ended up getting 2 salmon, one of which was 56cm, a PB , a 33cm trevally and a small flattie. Also had a few runs that didn't hook on which was annoying. High tide was at 7-30 and 1st fish was caught at about 8-30. Whenever there was one hook up, another rod went off seconds later. So if you've got a few lines out and miss a chance on one rod, watch the other rod carefully!!! Was using Pilchards and chicken breast, I think all the fish were actually caught on the chicken!Pics below Cheers Hiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use a paternoster two rig set up, gangs and popper - super effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) looks like we might have to work a couple of poppers tomorrow night ay Hiles ? Can anyone suggest any good brands or colours? Edited August 25, 2010 by Higgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctur9967 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hi guys, Just curious, which part of the beach were you on. I as taking a look at it today around 2:00pm, and it looked relatively featureless. Ie no discernable gutters. Maybe this is just me being an amateur though - Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by popper? I know of popping lures, cup faced front splashing water, but i am not sure if this is what you are referring to. It would seem odd to "spin" a popper with ganged pilchards. Anyway, Any help would be great. Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobson_c Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Ask the guys at Global Tackle for one of these (http://www.jarviswalker.com.au/tangle-free-salmon-rig.html), they should be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Chris Gday Chris We have been heading up to the north end of narrabeen...have tried a couple of spots up towards the lake entrance, within a few hundred metres of it and have had luck in 2/2spots. To be honest both times we've got there at dark and just tried to look for any kind of rips or swell being mixed up a bit, seems to have done the trick As for the poppers i'm quite the rookie myself but they have the solid head with feathery tails and seem to move around nicely in the swell and currents Hiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctur9967 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Cheers Hiles, I know the area you were talking about. Thought you meant north narrabeen beach; just around from the pool. Might see you out one night.

ginko Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Last night at north narra, right up next to the lake entrance, I landed no fish (a lone crab doesn't count). Big and small hooks, a lot of burley were no effect, even with a range of baits: fresh squid, mullet, yakka fillet, chicken, the crab, and then some pillies donated by a more fortunate fisho who had finished up for the night (thanks!). I arrived about 8:50 and just after hightide, and left just before midnight. Maybe I should've tried poppers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabefisho Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Late arvo from say 3pm and up till around 8pm fishes best on most of the Nthn Beaches, as does early mornings... also last night was a full moon, I think the beaches shut down during this time Ive never caught anything from the beach on a full moon. A few days prior and after full and new moon are definitely the best time IMO- esp for Taylor and Salmon. Tight lines Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steze Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well done with the cold weather. I haven't been able to catch anything but a cold and flu these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushtaka Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I went and grabbed a coffee this morning and went down the beach. I saw a missive school of Salmon or Tailor working about 150m off the beach with birds trying to get in on the action... So they are around! It was out just south of the pines.
