Stealthmission Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi Guys... just got a boat capable of getting offshore and headed for a troll. Headed from Brisbane Waters around the northern side of Broken Bay in close. There seemed to be a few nice reef features on the sounder but had no joy. Too many boats to be able to get right in close... Just wondering if anyone had any luck on this run before and, if so, what they caught and the best type of lures for the spread? Did manage some bream, flounder and small flatties off Ettalong. Had some massive Flatties follow and one massive croc chewed through the leader right at the boat too!

Wriggler1 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) All sorts of pelagics can be caught in that area try and focus on smaller metal lures like 5gm halco twisties for best results Edited April 29, 2012 by Wriggler1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthmission Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks wriggler... hope to see you out there some time mate. I am in a Haines Profish 495.... just starting to set up my lure selection so the tips are appreciated! Just saw in the NSW Government Gazette that waters adjacent to Buiddi National Park are banned from commercial fishing! Only going to get better for us! Cheers Stealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poacher Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi, That whole bay holds fish at times but they are itinerant. So you don't need to necessarily be in close to get them. They could be anywhere in broken bay because of the food washed out of the hawkesbury. Small rapala cd-9s are hard to beat, but many lures will work. Cheers, The poacher.

Cannon85 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 hey mate ive picked up countless bonito around the area you are talking about running xrap 30's X2 and 1 popper just gotta keep an eye on your sounder some of the reefs shallow up fairly quickly 15m - 5m or so in not alot of time. i have also picked up a small tuna around the area one time, let us know how you go mate i think it looks like a pretty productive area but it's been hit and miss for my self.

Cheers Stealth Sorry but NSW Govt Gazette No 96 28 sept 2011 page 5697 bans recreational fishing in the same area.Boudi Extension Marine Reserve has been in place for more than 20 years. I have never seen any science reports on the merit of such a reserve other than one from Professor Bill Gladstone who reported an increase in the Luderick population!
