adammac Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Hey guys, Launched late today at about 9am from Port Kembla to have a bit of a look around the islands for the first time. After trolling the southern breakwall a few times I headed out the back of the far island to look for a spot to fish some bait and plastics. I could not seem to find any real bottom structure or fish on the sounder so I just did a few drifts, hoping I would stumble across something. After about 2 hours with nothing I decided to call it a day and head back in as I have to work tonight. I have heard of snapper and kings being taken around there, but I guess its just getting to know where they are holding which takes experience. Looking at heading out again Friday as the weather looks great and not sure where to go. I have heard that the hump off stanwell is the go so if the weather is good i might give that a try. If anyone has some pointers for fishing the wollongong area I am all ears and hopefully friday I will have a better report to share! Cheers, Adammac
The Incredible Hull Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 If it makes you feel any better, I was at the northern wall fishing land based on the same day, and caught nothing too
Coast runner Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 The kings are very hit and miss around the islands mate and as for the reefies forget it, well anything descent anyway, the islands are so overfished
bharris Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Better off putting the boat in at shellharbour and trying the deep water around bass pt Sent from my GT-I9100T using Tapatalk 2
