dadwithnoidea Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Managed to sneak out of work for an hour at Roseville today. I think I fished the last hour to dead low tide, so I guess that was probably the worst time possible. Fished one rod with a whole ganged pilchard and one with an unweighted prawn. Managed to get a beautiful hour in the sun with no fish interrupting my afternoon!! hmmmmm, I think I need more practice. I was on the sandy side from opposite the ramp and wandered to opposite the kayak steps. I was in Coles and they had fancy green peeled prawns on special, so I used those. Is that OK? They were pretty big....tasty looking to me, almost got a fire going and cooked the rest up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To tell you the truth i have been getting all my fish there on them! Bad luck too. High Tide/Run in is certainly preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Just a tip for the new members & a reminder for some of the older ones. Type "Roseville" into the SEARCH function just below your user name & you will find heaps of info on the place & how to fish it. Cheers, Grant.

What size was your hook? The more info we get the more we can help. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam bros Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) was there last night fishing the last three hours of the run in tide to catch 2 tiny tailors, two tiny breams, and one yakka. on lightly weighted prawns and chicken breast. the live bait didn't get touched it really made roseville look really bad despite all the good reports there will try again but not any time soon, roseville will be like a last resort option after catching nothing worth bragging about Edited July 22, 2012 by sam bros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yeah bad luck mate. Despite my recent success at roseville it certainly is a summer place. Summer you get a lot of school jew and big flathead. Sure there are a few bream and trevally during winter but i'm going o ease off it for a while and wait for the warmer water. The odd school of kings and bonito should come down in summer too!

I have a soft spot for the place as I did catch my 1st ever Jew there many moons ago. By memory it was on about my 8th trip fishing that spot. This isn't the time of year when it's at it's best either. I can't remember too many spots around Sydney where I smashed the fish 1st time out especially if I was using bought bait. Keep at it with live or self caught bait & you might be surprised at the results. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leisureman Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hey Raider's, How does the far side go & upper reaches, flicking lures between the trees from a kayak. Fished there the other night with no luck, just a small whiting on prawns.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flathead are plentiful upstream too. One thing i will say is be careful upstream as there are a fair few bull sharks during summer. Most are just juveniles but bigger ones hang around from time to time. Used to see them chasing mullet when fishing SP from the bank. Having said this, i've purchased a Pro Angler Kayak recently and will still fish there... Bring on summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
