bookwa Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Greetings all. I live on Pittwater and in recently I've seen a tinny dragging a fluro lure about 25meters behind the boat in saltpan, so fairly shallow water. he travels fairly quickly and I'm intrigued with what he's doing or trying to catch. Any ideas? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'd say a large flathead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfisherman Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 My guess is, if he was travelling fairly quickly he was between spots, I'm not sure what he was targeting. Fishingphase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjustedpete Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I used to fish the salt pan wharf alot when i didnt have a boat and i have seen and caught SOME of these : kingies all sizes, bonnie schools, 4ft shark, flatties,bream, and squid. I used fluro's on the squid and sometimes when I was lazy (90%of the time)I would just leave it on and put a hook on. Didnt seem to change my success rate. My theory is any attention is good attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookwa Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks for the replies--still a mystery though--he trolled up and down two or three times and then headed further up but still kept within 50m of the bank. I'd guess his speed at about 10knots. I remember now I saw him before about a year ago doing the same thing. Maybe kingies at night--he's too fast for squid I would think. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinfisher 4.9 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hi Bookwa, this is a mystery that has me intrigued. Do you know where he is based or launches from? We need to get to the bottom of this. How frequently do you see him? Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Steve Hi Steve, I'm at Yamba for a few weeks now but back in Pittwater before christmas so I'll keep an eye out for him.I've seen him at least three times over the last year. Very strong cold currents in close at Yamba so don't be jealous. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.dawg Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 10knotts it's too fast for anything only thing you might get is of pelagics offshore marlin tuna. He was probably a newbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
