quochuy Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hi guys As discussed previously, it seemed that the gutters have been washed out from the Northern Beaches, and for a while no one has realky caught anything decent there. But this weekend I had few bites from what I think are big Tailors. Dee Why's gutters seem to be back and on Saturday it gave me a heavy bite that cut off my 10 lb leader. I usually use a heavier leader but forgot it at home... Today I went to Palm Beach and the same thing happened again with a 30 lb leader. On both occasions I could probably get the fish if I was using a gang hook, but was running out of them so I used two snelled hooks instead which exposed the line. Oh well... Anyway I'm pretty sure they were Tailors. Also the guys next to me caught two big fat Aussie Salmon that must be 60+ cm I will be back there next week or try The Entrance. And if time allows, I'll be back in Dee Why in the early morning during the week. I caught no fish today but the family enjoyed the sunny Sunday. It's now over a year my family moved from London to Sydney and we are loving each minutes of this outdoor life style! Wishing you all a nice Sunday evening and an awesome week!

Howdoweplaythis Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 thanks for the report. I'll probably be out on the beaches tomorrow. fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingnoob Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hi Huy, I went to Dee Why with Pred-a-tor (Stan) on Friday night. We fished the outgoing and incoming tide for only sand crabs. We caught probably 20 between us. We fished up near the lagoon and then the pole near the middle of the beach. Glad you had some luck though. Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest no one Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I hope maroubra provides some monsters this week, heading down on Thursday night to hit the last hour incoming. I also moved over from London and am loving life, fishing in the big smoke was awful so being here is amazing! I need to get back on the sand soon! I see you've pulled in a few sharks recently... Any tips on bait and rigs? Salmon are great fun but I feel it's now time for something bigger!

fishingnoob Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hey mate, We use a double rig with snelled circle hooks. Weight is on a dropper between 80-110g depending on swell and current. Drag is set really light. Bait - california squid or strips of mullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdoweplaythis Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I was out at Dee Why tonight for a solid aussie salmon about 55cm. there were 2 others on the beach and that was the only fish caught between us. summer can't come too soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 That's great to hear. Subject to the wretched wind which is forecast to be circa 30 knots on Thursday, we will go out and drift of palm beach, hopefully we can attract a couple of nice fighting fish.

quochuy Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 @fishingnoobs, I've been told the sand crabs are good eating. With 20 you could have a great snack! Wait a couple of weeks or so and I believe all the small whitings I've released few weeks ago will grow up nicely. @tef1on, I usually get sharks on the same baits as for Salmons: full pilchards on 3/0 gang hooks. Light drag as fishingnoobs said, adjust it during the fight if needed. @howdoweplaythis, one big Salmon is much better than all the donuts of the last few weeks. Summer is not far so that will keep us entertained until then. -- http://www.facebook.com/gonefishinginoz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdoweplaythis Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 A nice passing surfer told me he'd seen a big school of salmon at the back break but they'd moved on by the time i put a line in. Things are looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quochuy Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Need one of those drones fittef with a camera to scout the water :-D -- http://www.facebook.com/gonefishinginoz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieR Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thats not a bad idea. get a gopro and mount it on a remote control boat on a 1m long pole under the boat. the gopro would keep it stable in the rough surf haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quochuy Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Do they make remote submarines? Drones can send video stream via built-in wifi viewable from mobile phone Can gopro do the same? -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest no one Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Might be better to get a snorkel and mask an swim... But watch the tide! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
