ssantoro Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) I read heaps of reports from my fellow raiders, who talk of Kingfish, Jewies, etc in the harbour. Everytime we go fishing in it we land goldfish, maybe we're using the wrong bait, tackle or we just have no idea. Lately I've been frequenting a spot in Hermit bay, where people tell me they catch Kingfish and Jewfish; I've seen nothing impressive out there until yesterday when I swung by after work to check it out. As I sat there enjoying this beautiful Sydney weather, boom 3 rods all get hit within 30 seconds of each other; two of them lose whatever they had, but one guy reels in the biggest fish I've seen pulled from the harbour...a 60cm + Aussie Salmon. I'm told that bigger fish like Kingies and Salmon only come around during the day, is this true??? If not is there anything special I need to do, to attract them?

General Zod Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Nice fish, reminds me when I use to rock fish, but we had 12 people at a location and 12 rods go of all seconds apart when a school came through but we were spinning. It was either early morning or afternoon. Every place is different. Good feeling when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Nice salmon, there's fish in Sydney Harbour much bigger though! Try hooking a 30kg+ Jewfish. You'll know what i mean then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssantoro Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 not a bad salmon if you have the gear , have 2 rods with livies out ( yakkas or squid ) , a rod to throw baitfsih lures around , and a baitcatching rod . If you dont have this stuff it doenst matter of course . Just use whatever you have the kingfish salmon bonito season is coming to an end really but always next year Yea that's a bit of a bummer, are there squid around during the off season?

Jew Stalker Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) I'd love to catch a Jewy, where do I do that? Try bridges, deep holes, and bait fish grounds. I have caught them in each. Also go to the search bar here on FR and type in Jewfish, you will have a world of info at your fingertips.

onearmedfisho Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 im not too sure but i would expect the squid to hang round all year Yeah, the squid are around all year. Generally bigger throughout the cooler months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
