finin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Gday all well what a beautiful morning to be out. Hardly a breath of wind through the harbour and once again very few boats fishing inside most traffic was headed out. Got to the heads and noticed a huge flock of birds off bluefish. Later throughout the day another huge school off Ben Buckler Started of the front in 60m but were pestered by little jackets about 12cm. Water temp was a constant 19.3 all day. Wind was a light nw but swung west pretty quick. Seems to be a bit of an eddy as we were drifting to the se, it seemed like wind was stronger than current today. Decided to go sth to dind fishing a bit better. Once again good mixed around, plenty of good flatties and all in roe. Funny last week mowies galore and this week barely a acratch yet flatties opposite go figure. Maybe the moon phase. Fishing was great till about an hour after high tide. Seems the jackets woke up and didnt matter where we went so did they. If you want big jackets head to the plonk hole they are the length of your arm! Plenty of whales about today and if you were the bloke in the tinny im just wondering how your undies are. Heres a photo of some mixed available. Thats all for the day, out again tomorrow hopefully befote the nor easter gets up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonardgid Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 those fish frames make a great fish stock when simmered with oil, salt, pepper , onion, carrots ,and celery for 20 minutes then use that stock when you make a seafood paella. sorry its the cook coming out in me when i see great seafood, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rportelli Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yep I was out their today. Started in 60 m off longy and finished down South on the gravel grounds. Apart from the first hour or so the day was spent trying to avoid jacket men. Got a couple of mowies and flathead before it was all out attack by the jacket army. Time to deploy dynamite!!!!!!

tasksta Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Nice catch. I lost all my gear to jackets yesterday, so you did well to get a feed. I tried every ten metre line till i reached the fad and they were there too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasksta Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Bloke in tinny could have been me. I had reeled in my one and only fish, a nice mowie and had a massive boat full of people watching me. I turned around and a hump back broached like 5 metres from me! Was just off bondi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finin Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Tasksta lol we were outside of you. M8 if you had moved out another 40m you would have hit some great mowies and flatties. M8 that whale was close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasksta Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Lol was no further than 5 metres i reckon! Were you next to the charter boat? Was gonna scoot on over but thought a bit rude. What depth were you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
