stormy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I have been going out for a fish off the rocks at least one day a week over the past month, and the good days prior to Christmas, have certainly slowed. Cabbage is hard to find (except on the ocean rocks) and the fish are a lot less interested after an apparent successful spawning run. Four mates who are good luderick fishos have been disappointed off the ocean rocks as well. They went out on Friday and only got 7 fish between them. Anyway, took two mates along with me this morning, and decided on a 5am start. Wow!!! It's still dark at that time. Won't do that again any time soon. We were heading out the front, but there was a bit of a roll coming through the heads, so decided to fish the sheltered water. In hindsight, we should have done the hike as the wind died off and so did the swell. Fish were timid today and sporadic. I ended up with 8 fish and the other boys got three between them. I really don't know why this happens, as we are using identical hooks, leaders and mainlines. As the regulars always say - "gee you're lucky'!!' That is the only explanation btw - I tried the 'Royce Fly' today, but the fish were not too interested in 'regular' bait, let alone a deceptive fly. Soon Royce, soon.

luderick -angler Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Mate come meet me and Scrubby they have gone ballistic in the harbour! Got 16 in the bag yesterday and released loads more a lot of fishstill in milk and roe too the yare very late! But its going to b one heck of a season I think! My theory is the yhave run north by now I recommend trying Greeny at Kurnell mate cause we were killing them around La Perouse a fortnight ago! The fly will produce don't worry!

stormy Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Got nine yesterday. Still none on the Envy Green 'Royce' Fly. Very frustrating - they were playing with the bait in the clear water. Didn't have much food in their stomachs, so figure they are tired from all the spawning. I am sure they will start to return in a month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
