piratin Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Update on last weeks report, went again yesyerday as forcast 5 - 10 Nor East all day.We do fish down south it is around the hump area. Down that way out the back of the hump are gravel beds it is a large area where the reds move around on. Left the ramp at five as change of tide at seven and thought we might get a early bite. This did not happen yesterday although we did chip away at them. We got a bite around twelve - midday. Ended up with seventeen reds. Biggest were 4kg. Do feel the afternoon would fish better but after an early start we decided to head for home. We used a combination of jigs as discussed last post and today floating out pilchards on the drift with a ball sinker attached. Water looked a little greener then last week. temp was 17.7, plenty of bait around.Still a fair bit of current on although we felt it slowed during the day. The jigs can be left in a rod holder and let the rocking motion of the boat do the rest. Just another option tp try. It is exciting when they attack these jigs. Very aggressive. Took a good mate of mine today. Hope fellow raiders manage to catcha few over the weekend. Edited October 6, 2010 by piratin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelnarn Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 No Way, as Ritchie would say "what a catch" Would love to head down there one day and have a crack at them myself. Might organise a charter out of Cronulla... Have a 5.6mtr quintrex with an oldish 90 on the back... It would probably take a bit to get down there out of port hacking depending on weather....
