GregL Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 With nice reports of reds down south of Sydney we had to go explore. With a pretty gusty westerly it was a lumpy ride running down the coast in the Contender at 30kns, took us about 1.5hrs from Hunters Hill to just south of the Hump. The first few drifts didn't produce much so a quick call to a local had us running further south a few more miles and bites happened pretty much straight up. Gotta love local knowledge! There was a few dropped fish but in the end we got 5 nice keepers and a great bag of squid from a few quick drifts out the front of the Hacking on the way back home Great day, top feed and plenty of the usual ribbing though out the day.

kadavu Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Awesome snapper they are definitely on at the moment
outfisher Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 nice reds greg top stuff ill have to get out and give them a crack soon j
GregL Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 Cheers dudes Lures that did the damage, Gulp 4" single tail grub in smoke, I think Browney got his on a jerk shad and the others were on the Duel Salty Rubbers. We only scored 1 coota for the day, maybe they are sitting in the deeper water. We were fishing the 30m line. Haven't fished for jews for over a week. Richard was off the harbor for a bit as he was in the Bets GF comp on the harbor and had prefish ban on. We went trouting last weekend. I had a work thing on out at Bathurst on Saturday so it worked out nicely, only problem I donuted Friday and Richard got 4 I think. Saturday before work we snuck out for another quicky, another 4 for Richard and I got 2. During the week I have been trying to get some gars again. Only problem is the bloody tailor. Every time the gars come into the burley the tailor come in and nail them, the gars are so skittish it's hard to get them to bite after that! Might be time to go target the tailor then=) Greg
