kurtisjohnthomas Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Went out on the Hawkesbury and came across lots of small schools of Frigate Mackrel. I got one 3rd cast on a 10g raider but after that nothing. I used nearly every lure and every fly in my box but couldn't jag another one. Fished them for maybe 3hrs. I also found this with some watsons bonito on the harbor Monday. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or lure selection they can recommend. Just thought I'd ad I am experienced and not a hack so know the technics and what not. I will post a pic when I'm back in Sydney just writing this on the iPhone from the bush.

gibodfisho Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I hear your pain, they are a frustrating fish and any time I have targetted them with lure or fly I have struggled. Only two I have caught were lucky 1 offs, even had a guy catch one on a jackall chubby from my boat. So no tips from me. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I have been using a soft plastic Izumi pintails on a light jig head with success lately. Have found both frigates and watsons hit them hard when they are not taking metal lures. Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
