Formosan Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi Raiders Went out on Sunday to try to jig up some kingies at the peak, only managed to jig up 2 barracoutas. Plenty of Boats around the peak but didn't look like anyone was hooking up kings. Still a novice at jigging hope to work it out soon and have more to report. Had a few rods bottom bashing while jigging and it yielded a legal snapper and a morwong. The wind was starting to pickup so we headed in closer, just off one of sydney's beaches and did a few drifts. The wind was strong hence the drift was fast, no sea anchor, was really hard to hold bottom, had to double up on the sinkers and as a result double up on the flatties. As you can see. Scored a few legal flatties and heaps of undersize, by then the sky was threatening and so we headed inside. Soaked some fresh squid at Molly for an hour while burlying, no kings showed up so packed up and went home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done on the catch I see you got the okuma salina, were you using that for the jigging? What way were you drifting at the peak and how fast?

james7 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Great feed of flatties. Good consolation prize. Looks like you got the trifecta of flatties: bluespotted, dusky and tiger. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finin Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Nice catch and yes the three flatties are.... marble( the one with the bars), Tiger( the skinnier ones with the pointier heads and very sharp teeth) and the good old Eastern Blue Spot(The three fat ones). Also that yellow finned pike on the bait board is great eating too. Best eating IMHO is the marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
