gzola Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Dear fellow raiders, My friend has a boat moored around the edge of Mccarrs creek (South Western end of Pittwater) and we are keen fishos so we take it out around the area every now and then but all we end up doing is because bites are too far in between. Got to a point where we don't feel motivated to even drop a line... Any suggestions as to where we should start in the area and fire us back up? Any sort of advise is much appreaciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjc123 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Try drifting of Taylors or Stokes point. At Taylors point we drift with pilchard, bonito and prawns for bream (sometimes up to 35cm), flatties, taylor and small snapper to 30cm. At Stokes point anchor and burly! use the same baits and even a livey if you can manage one. We get Bream, Flathead, Tailor, Snapper and leatherjackets. With a livey or some luck you may even find the odd salmon, jewie or King! Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad66 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) yep have to agree Burley Burley Burley even a tin of cat food with some holes in it [please dispose of can afterward though but seriously there areplenty of fish hiding around scotty island had some wonderful nites as a younger fella sitting on wharves in pittwater hooking stonker bream just dont expect them in the rush hour times get yaself some pillys and sqish em mix with stale bread crumbs/cheese grated/tuna oil/cat food/chikken pellets whatever add some water turn to a slurry freeze into blocks the size of your burley bucket get to a nice quiet spot pop the burley bucket in then have a few beers while it starts defrosting [watch where the trail is going then cast into it] good luck Edited May 30, 2011 by mtcolah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzola Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Thanks for your advice. Much appreciated. One question tho, does western side of Scotty island fish well? how about somewhere like Elvina bay? Will definitely burley up and hopefully I have something to post about in the near future Edited May 31, 2011 by gzola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 You will get fish there but it isn't as productive. You may get the odd bream and flatty but taylors point is only 15 minutes on a dinghie. Its pretty close to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzola Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks. Will have a go at Taylors pt and hopefully, I can post a report worth writing about ! Will also try frozen burley bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 One thing you need to know though is that it is very weedy here and you need to fish about 50 meters out at least inline with the pt and you should get a few flatties and other fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
