JimT Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) With the removal of the beached whale done in sections I imagine there will be plenty of "burley" impregnated in the sand. Expect some interesting fishing over the next couple of days, coupled with the huge tides in the early night/morning. Any thoughts?

sydangler Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 yer me and a mate were talking about trying to head down there this weekend, and put out some shark baits. by memory there was heaps of big sharks hanging around last year when the sperm whale washed up on the rocks. seeing its on the beach i would say there will be plenty of hungry sharks near by but seeing they will struggle to get in close enough to take a bite they will be eating and attacking anything. i would be interested to hear from anyone who fished around the whale last year or this year.

mimyo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think tonight will be the go! Great looking gutters there today. Heaps of berley on the sand next to the pipe. I think the plan is get rid of the whale by this arvo and come back in the morning for clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan.march Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 No sharks.... Anyone else do any better? Also from trying to get a chunk of blubber off my line my hands reek. Off for a very hot shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 If it was in summer it'd be a different story! Sharks galore! Tigers, Bulls, Hammerheads and Bronzies everywhere! Still should be a few bronzies and hammers about but not in numbers. Maybe Jewfish would be an option? Northern Beaches are famous for their night-time winter big jewies! Big strip baits and whole squid are the go! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 After reading The Telegraph website today, some tree hugging greenie from the mid western suburbs (no offence to you guys out that way) said, "why not dig a big hole in the sand and bury the whale on the beach, cheaper." :074: Imagine the smell hanging around for months, the sharks hanging about looking for a feed (chewing on a few surfers), the crabs running about the beach, maybe the beach worms would grow bigger. She has probably never been to a beach. No idea about dead animals and how they decompose, her pet budgie was probably the worst she has seen. :074: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-Pete Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 They could have done what the Yanks did a few years ago and blow it up, plenty of berley and a strong fishy smell for a long time to come. Big-Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robofish Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Just wrapped up only put one school shark on the beach. Lost two nice fish in close on slabs of mullet - no bite offs so could have been my first beach Jews :-( I reckon I am going back tomorrow night for round two (if I can stand the stink) Dave Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianniz Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 wtf, I went to newport beach parking lot, it was dark and rock pool was way too far to walk, so I drove upto some cliff (map seem to show rock pool is directly under this cliff) and asked the family looking down the ocean if this place is where the dead whale is.... THEY SAID IT'S BURIED!!!! so I got into my car and left! NOT HAPPY JAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydangler Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think I'm going to try fish Newport tomorrow late arvo/night. I've got a bonnie in the freezer that I'm going to try drift out under a balloon on my tld50. And cast a few other baits in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
