Overdraft Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just got back. Was a waste of a trip today. Heaps of jackets. You need a good supply of leads. We only ended up with one. Fished there last weekend for a 8 reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1987k Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 Really so they kept cutting the line ! How deep ! Did u try in shallower ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdraft Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Mate they were considerate. They would only snip the mono trace off an leave my braid alone. We tried from 60 m deep all the way into the shore. We trolled back up along the coast line and got one rat king and a bonnie. Had ago around marly on the sand and you guessed it. Lost more rigs. I fish last sat in the rain all day and that was more fun then spending the whole day re rigging like I did today. If you go tomorrow I hope you have better luck than we did.

benm Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Went out yesterday and leather jackets were in plague proportions. I lost a dozen sinkers and rigs, around 150 of braid and decided that was enough so ended up going closer to shore where they weren't as much of a problem. Damn pests they really are. Drop down a rig and before it even hits the bottom your line goes slack. They bite the line only a few meters below the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz4Fishin Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Anyone know how long the jackets hang around for. They have been here for a while now in big numbers. I was thinking about heading out on Tuesday but I dunno if it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Could be around for a couple of months yet, from previous experience. May be some bigger ones in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
