Harrington fishing

[Juniorlenny]

Going to Harrington and was wondering if the lagoon behind the big 4 was any good with soft plastics or the breakwall with soft plastics or bait thanks

[brickman]

the lake has monster mullet best to use a fly rod or a small hook and doe the currant rips along the breakwall you will have to use a fast walk on a running tide or cast up currant

there is thumper blue nose bream around the cleaning table on dark and good flattys on the inside of the breakwall near the outlet nippers are the best bait and can be pumped at old bar but not at harrington go and get some fresh bait at crowdy fish co op and some prawns to eat use the shells as berly and the heads as bait for flattys were i mentioned best before sun up and around dusk

also if you go to old bar fish the whalf near the boat ramp for flattys and to pump nippers at the end off the main drag take the dirt road past the airport about 1km park and walk to the island best at low tidethe further you walk the bigger the nippers

hope you have a good time cheers gary

Thats some great advice you've given

Thanks mate only just realised you wrote back would I be able to catch mullet with bread and a float

[brickman]

get a fresh loaf off high top bread pull out all the white and squeeze into a ball wet just a little with salt water and work the ball by squeezing and rolling back into a ball should be a bit stiffer than play doe you have just made doe use a back fish hook and a small pencil float with no weight hide the hook with doe in a tear drop shape

some old fisher men i know add cotton wool when making the doe and even old cheese but this was more for bream cheers gary

ps don't forget to fish the cleaning table out let on dusk for big blue nose bream
