fish311 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hi Raiders Last night went to WB fishing with my friend and 2 kids . We arrive Apple tree bay around 4.30pm . Start fishing @ WB around 5pm . My first bite and hooked up around 5min after . After I saw the other boat also hooked up as well . My friend daughter 2nd hooked UP around 6.30pm , after my friend keep hooked up 1 Monster 2 medium around 8pm . We leave WB around 8.15pm send kids back to Apple tree bay , their mum pick them at there . After we keep continue fishing , but we change to the other location ( Smiths creek ) . The reason to change , because last night I never seen before almost 35 boats in WB , crazy night , like a water city . Haha ... We start fishing again on 9.10pm at Smiths creek . We use pilchard for bait , because last night yellowtail is very hard to catch . Finally we hooked up 12 Monster at Smiths creek , between 10.45pm-12am .Total for last night is 17 Hairtail . We went back around 1am . Last night is my last fishing trip as well , because I have some commitment for this year ,I temporary stop fishing .This couple years I really have Fun @ FISHING . Hope I can fishing back again in future . Tomorrow is Monday again , new day . Hard working , Hard fishing . Hehe ... Good luck to everyone @ fish raiders . SAFETY ALWAYS. Cheers ...

Pongrass18ft Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Wouldn,t mind having a piece of your second hairtail from the left in a soup . Did you have many bite offs while fishing or did you put wire trace on for there teeth , were glow light sticks needed on your line??? Looked them up on youtube to see them swim they actually swim in a unique manner heads always looking upwards. Apparently very good sashimi. Chris.

elferoz777 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 You guys are machines!!! Thats an awesome catch. Where can hair tail be caught? Are they mostly in rivers or deeper water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 You guys are machines!!! Thats an awesome catch. Where can hair tail be caught? Are they mostly in rivers or deeper water? During winter they come inshore into places like cowan creek (which is where all these reports are from). Can't say why but apparently they come in from the shelf! Apart from the odd one up north, i'm not sure if they can be caught in many areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
