davegroves68 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Hi all, went for a fish this arvo with a couple of mates and headed out towards Barrenjoey head. We got a few undersize snapper and then moved on for a drift infront of Lion island. It was then i noticed the water temp. 24.2 degress Did anyone else find it this warm or is my sounder faulty?? Didn't get any fish apart from rock cod, but I'd be interested to know if anyone else found the water this warm? Dave
gobbledock Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Same at botany bay. Incoming tide was warmer than usual
helliconia Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 My sounder was giving me 26+ in the mouth of Cowan Creek last weekend. Granted not as much current through there but still seemed warm.
Cptkrks Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I was getting 24.5 in Cowan creek last week as well. Anyone know what is the preferred fish temp for the fish in the area. We did get a few undersized snapper and noticed much more bait fish than normal.
Berleyguts Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 It has been around 24 deg in the Hawkesbury up at Wisemans Ferry lately, according to my sounder. It's good to see some warmer temps closer to the sea. Baz
cogo44 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 It was 24+ in a raging current off Sydney Heads on Sunday. We fished with our backs to the wind all day and could not hold bottom for very long. We searched for lower temperatures closer in and when it got down to 22, the current was manageable. However, hordes of spikies and whiting were the main beneficeries.
locodave Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I had around a 26 on Saturday morning at Brooklyn and around 24+ at lion island!
windredj Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 yep was out on pittwater the other day in the middle doing a few drifts *with the anchor out* sooo windy and the current but yeh temp was showing 24 anyone having much luck with the kings in pitty??
davegroves68 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 anyone having much luck with the kings in pitty?? No, not a thing Had some outside on West reef.
fryboy Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Was out on pwater yesterday - warm water, huge swells and no kings! Managed a couple of bonito and a tailor.
mcllamaman Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 i was at the bayview boat ramp on new years day and the temperature was 27!!! i couldn't believe it...
SeaHauler Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Seems like GW will have its advantages, therefore i refuse to pay the carbon tax, time to break out the barra gear next time i hit botany. Nah seriously sounds good, there might be some truth to the theory that water temps are a month or so behind air temps.
