newbie Al Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi Guys, I'm new here and thought I should contribute something right off the bat and not just lurk. My cousin and I went out for a fish at Deep water creek Narrabeen right near the bridge. We were using prawn, pillies and live worm and got nothing except a couple of bream that were probably sub 15cm (threw them back of course) and a whiting that had lost its way. We burleyed up and were fishing very light. The only thing I can think of is that it would have been too fresh in the creek. You boys got any thoughts on where we went wrong? We fish every weekend so hopefully I can bring you some more interesting reports in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie Al Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks snapper, I know what you mean but we seem to be having "those days" trip after trip.

Longy Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi Guys, I'm new here and thought I should contribute something right off the bat and not just lurk.

We fish every weekend so hopefully I can bring you some more interesting reports in the future. We fished in Narrabeen lakes a few times (end of Windbledon Ave), but we found during the day all you get are the pickers (ie small breams around the 15cm or so), but have friends that has success just before dusk into evenings or early mornings, but use toughter baits like squid or chicken thighs cut into small strips (pickers can't take in one bite and give the bigger fish a chance). Fish using light gear (8lb or less), small sinker (size 1 or 2), and around a 1 meter or slightly longer leader (trace). Otherwise post a request in the "Adopt a Learner" section, hopefully a knowledgeable and seasoned Fishraider will be able to meet up with you at a chosen location and teach you a trick or two so you will have more successful fishing adventures in the future. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinfisher 4.9 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi Newbi Al, Deepwater Creek is a notorious location for gay men to meet up in the evenings, so if you do report that you scored a big one, please don't post any photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie Al Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hey newbie al always remember that each trip that you dont catch something decent puts you one trip closer to one that you do. I know mate, not even contemplating giving up. Just being out on the water is good enough for me, prize catches are just a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
