Mick54 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi Raiders I have fished south of Port Hacking as far as the Humps over the last three weeks and can't find any spots that the jackets have not taken over. Any further than 30m from shore and you can't get a rig down without loosing all your gear. Are they the same north of Botany Bay, The Peak, Coogee ect. ? Can anyone advise as I hope to get out Friday but won't waste my time if they are about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUKEC Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I fished to 40m from the hacking up to botany bay for the same problem, i too am sick of throwing gear over the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1987k Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I fished off maroubra on Sunday in 60m an only cut off once ! Plenty of current around maybe that's why I was lucky . Plus a good feed aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I fished out of Sydney harbour south along the cliffs today and looked for flatties all the way out to the 180ft line. There were jackets everywhere i stopped. really frustrating... I found they would hear the boat engine, but all stealth attempts failed. i moved around alot! Maybe fish in close under the cliffs in the washes for kings and sambos at the moment. i got sick of loosing tackle aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tld517 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Areas from Manly to Long Reef seem OK if you fish less than 50 fathoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick54 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hi guys Answered my own question. Went out this afternoon and fished several spots from Botany heads north to Coogee. Same thing, jackets everywhere if more than 50m from shore. Managed one 7cm snapper, that's right 7cm on 5/0 hook and lost heaps of gear again. Have never seen so many Jackets before. Might head north next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Headed out Friday morning, for a stack of jackets. Not big at all, under 30cm, but kept 20 for a feed as better than nothing. The little bastards swam off the bottom and were sitting about 15 feet under the boat, just like a plague, hundreds of them. Tried trolling Jibbon Point and Shark Island before sun-up for a tailor, but not a touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
