gzola Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hi Fellow raiders, Was thinking of either hitting JB or WB this Sat to try get my hands on my first hairy after 15 years but I've noticed that posts relating to hairies haven't been that active last week or so. Are they still around?? Should I bother braving out the cold? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathery1 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I tried Waratah Bay on Sunday night, we got 13 Hairtail but they wearn't very big with the largest around the 1.2m mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you did better than me, I got no bites! Didn't get out till 11pm fri night, few hours at JB but no joy. just reading successful hairtail reports in WB that night. kicking myself as we drove passed beacause it was so busy, now we know why! Just makes me hungrier for that first hairtail, may return once feeling returns to my toes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
