nbdshroom Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Catches over the past month (Georges) have been sporadic. I had my share of donuts and near-donut seshes (just ask Kingfisher84, SargeRX8 and Matt17). It is difficult to put a finger on the reason(s), however, I have found that there have been some better-sized fish on these slow days. This is in agreement with the age-old statement that the fish is of better quality in winter whereas quantity describes the summer months. However, I have had a few seshes with over half dozen bream/fish with decent size too. Here are some photos, couldn't upload all of them. Some mean bream in the bunch, tailor, flatties, luderick, salmon and whiting (including a suicidal one!). Pretty stoked with some of the catches 2.5" Z-mans, squidgie wrigglers, madeye prawns on jigheads ca. 1/16oz, did the damage. The cracker whiting fell to a 80mm squidgie fish while the trevally found his match in the form of a Gulp! sandworm in copper colour. Mostly using 4lb fc leader to 6lb mainline worked throughout the water column. edit: more pics coming Edited December 14, 2013 by nbdshroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quochuy Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nice report, thanks for sharing. I too have found this winter lacking of fish, mind you, this is my first year living in Oz. The only time I caught more than two fish in a session was when we went on a trip down to Nowra, heap of big Tailor and Salmon. But the Northern Beaches have been quiet with more donuts that fish... -- http://www.facebook.com/gonefishinginoz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the warmer weather starts to heat up the action for you up there. Good fish in that pic, some big ones there. Love the way that you guys take great pics and share them with us. Cheers Paikea Thanks Paikea. I just try to put up any report I can so others have something to read and look at and hopefully inspire a few people to get out there.

Scratchie Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Great work Pete! Some really productive sessions there. That last photo of the whiting is a horse. Looks more like a bonefish! I've been working the SP's a lot more lately with mixed results. I'm in a end of season 3 day trip this weekend, fingers crossed weathers good. Great report mate. Cheers scratchie!!!
