davegroves68 Posted January 15, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helliconia Posted January 15, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptkrks Posted January 15, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted January 16, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cogo44 Posted January 16, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaHauler Posted February 24, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
