ferret69 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks Slyzor, Salmon are a little to easy also, caught my fair share already this year, largest going 93cm. Any ideas on other species? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Try chasing big snapper as for blackies once you have a couple gos and if you have the knack theres not a huge amount of time nad experience comes with each session. I think you are limiting your options! Theres always pigs off the stones! Or try mullet they can be real hard ot catch not easy buy any standard!

Not much left to please you then, eh!!! Got a pic of that salmon. DPI state maximum size up to 90cm, so yours would have to be a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabefisho Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Mate LB you are gonna be fairly limited to species you can chase- sure you have Hoodlum Kingies, Snapper, Pigs, blackfish and Jew, Sambo's and Greenback Taylor all around till mid-winter before things slow down too much in the rivers and foce many anglers to arm-chair tactics over a few tinnies, lol Hairtail are an good option but if you canot be arsed trying for jew due to long ovewrnighters and hours spent- well you got buckleys getting a haritail coz they are more elusive than the humble jewie. As others have mentioned Mullet might be a worthy option, or maybe you can go to the dark side and try natives like Cod, Barra, Grunter, Yellowbelly, Silverbelly and you could even go for some mud-suckers (carp- as we can all do with fewer of these pests in our systems) and they are great sport on any gear... Good luck whatever you choose to chase Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious?? the record is 90cm ? the smallest Salmon I have caught in the last 2 months is 70cm.. Maybe I need to target and photo these now?? How do you go about recording a record?

bennoz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 i reckon some big reds are the go this winter ! need to find some suitable ledges around the northern beaches ...or take a trip up to snapper point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macman Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Why not have a go at some groper, you will find them at spots you already fish and will test your gear, skill etc. THere are also some big pigs around and tough to land. Your other option is snapper, they test your skill, technique, gear, casting ability, brain and are a very tough proposition when fishing from the rocks and around during winter particuarly after a big swell.

ferret69 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Snapper and Groper maybe good options, thanks guys! Looks like trips up to Snapper and Wybung are on the cards.. And hey Matt, I heard Telstra was looking for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
