helliconia Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Taking a mate from work out on Friday, perhaps around Flint & Steel and Lion Island. Just checking to see how people have been doing around that area, what should we be targeting and which baits are working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josamill Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You will have to work very hard for a result! The trawlers continue to give the area a belting, and even the usually reliable salmon run has been mighty patchy. If the weather permits, i would be flicking plastics and small metal lures into the washes around Barrenjoey and West Head. I have pulled a small number of bonito and tailor out this way in the past month. Someone will have better ideas! Good luck. PS, anyone got any updates on the proposed commercial fishing license buy backs for Pittwater & Broken Bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinfisher 4.9 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Good point josamill, I will follow up on this, as this is my territory as well, the pro trawlers just decimate the fishing. I have tried with the State Member, who is "sympathetic" but I guess it comes doen to the money to buy out the pro licences. Lets keep up the fight!

captainpete Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Taking a mate from work out on Friday, perhaps around Flint & Steel and Lion Island. Just checking to see how people have been doing around that area, what should we be targeting and which baits are working? fished yesterday mate 4 bream and usual reef fish at flint and steel 1,5 hours into the run out tide then moved around Brooklyn drifting for around 8 Flathead .get there very early as you can they went of the bite around 11.30 was a bit of a pain with that green weed that wraps around your line and bait .also had the crab traps out for a big fat zero weed in traps as well.yes those trawlers were there as usual they always work the area from the mouth of cowan up towards flint and steel i think the reason the work that area is because it is a clean sandy bottom so drift were the trawlers don't work good luck dont forget to burley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
