gianniz Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 1 hour, caught and released 10000000000000000000000 tiny tailors! fished from the new boat ramp, others near the bridge, same report. I didn't go hard last night as it was a stop over to catch some yakkas. I'm guessing due to so many tiny tailors, there's a good chance big ones around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydangler Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If there are that many tiny tailor around theres a chance some Jews might be round feeding on them. Get a bigger one to put out live or butterflied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooooled Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 what do you mean by "butterflied"? http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=31716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 what do you mean by "butterflied"? as spooled linked you to, butterflied is when you cut the remove the backbone of the bait but still leave the fillets on. This means all you have is a head and two fillets/flaps. Great for Jewfish, flathead, kingfish and sometimes big bream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2593 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 was at roseville today, not much action at all with unweighted prawns. not even on soft plastics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam bros Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 hi how come butterflied yakka are so effective?, as i have read in many reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bump73 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 and you didn't put one out live for a jewie because?? Probably because there is a minimum size limit of 30cm for tailor and judging by the post they where smaller than that. I'm sure that everyone saying to chuck one out as bait is talking about ones that are over 30cm though But yeah if you get a legal one chuck it out there, i've even got jewies on just the heads.

gianniz Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 well legal reason was one of them but my intention was to catch some yakka's and head off to akuna bay for hair tail after getting zero yakka, I went to akuna bay with pillies and caught nothing There were few people there trying for the same but no go. Guys there told me they caught 5 shovel nose sharks there. Oh well, you can't expect to catch fish all the time but I had a great time sharing tips and story with other fisho.

rjc123 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Had a quick go this afternoon at roseville and i'll admit it was a little quiet. Just one legal trevally and a few undersized bream... Bit disappointing but its not long til i get my new kayak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2593 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Were you fishing near the over head pipe? Edited July 15, 2012 by joseph2593 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Were you fishing near the over head pipe? No mate, at the bridge for a bit with big baits for flathead and jewfish but then moved on to the boat ramp after a little while. If you can sneak onto the pontoon on the edge of the construction site there are some nice bream and trevally hanging around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2593 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Is it possible to just cast towards that area off the shore when it's quiet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjc123 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Is it possible to just cast towards that area off the shore when it's quiet? Yes definitely. On weekends its always taken though... Edited July 16, 2012 by mack attack 79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 are you allowed to fish from the poontoon? No i don't think so. Although i'm sure you could get away with drifting a few prawns around the pylons late arvo during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrealist Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 will have to do a really fast retreive if a boat comes to the ramp : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianniz Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 I was sitting at the end of the new pontoon and casted toward the old pontoon. Maybe it was due to tailors but I had the same result. Tailor I'll be there tomorrow to try again. Hopefully I get to fight with a decent fish. It's been so long I'm actually considering going down west to catch some big eels just for the fun of it Is it possible to just cast towards that area off the shore when it's quiet?
