rickster Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I haven't posted about any harbour blackies for a while but there's been a very good reason. It's not that I haven't been catching many, it's just that..............................OK I haven't been catching many. I've been hitting the rocks more recently with mixed success due to the ordinary weather we've been getting on the weekends. Again with the combination of a big morming high tide and predicted (correctly) southeasters, it was time to get some nice weed and find a cosy spot to relax. My plan was to try and get a few fish yesterday morning then head to the Bay weigh-in and say hello to a few raiders. Found a comfy spot near Walsh Bay, kicked off around 7.30 and had three in the bag by 8.00. Good start. Was still getting a fair seven in the bag including two good fish at 43cm and 42cm. I could tell by the flags on the bridge that that the southeaster was blowing but didn't realise just how strong until I got to Cook Park, white tips everywhere on the Bay. Very unfortunate for the social but things like this do happen. Said my hellos and seemed like most still enjoyed the day. Well done again to Stewy and Donna and the rest of the helpers. Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormy Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Good work. Have never fished the harbour. Never fished for blackies north of Maroubra. They will start to come on from now. Spawning is well underway, at least south of Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish2day Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I normally spend some time in the afternoon at Walsh Bay, never knew it was also a good spot for blackies until last Saturday when I saw a couple who were fishing for blackfish and yakkas. Everyday on the way to work I always sit at the window side in the train looking at people fishing at pier2 from the bridge, hoping that I could see someone landing a big fish. Big enough for me to see from the train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
