pomey_git Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hi guys, Took a trip up to the big smoke at the weekend with the mrs and baby. We found a pram friendly spot, reccomended by some of the guys on here, and set up for the afternoon. I got to one of the piers under the harbor bridge to see a guy cleaning a kingy! Today is to be a good day thought I I had brought my new livey/jigging rod for a little test run and set about burleying up with a tin of cat food to entise some yakkas. There were tonnes of little sardiney bait fish swimming around but it wasnt long before I had my first live bait out. The bait runner was set and the sun wad beating down on us. To kill the time I set up some SPs and stated bouncing them accoss the bottom hoping there was a flattie waiting under the bait..........there wasnt There was a lovely bream though. Went really hard down on the depths there. It took a 3inch gulp minnow in watermelon pearl in a 1/2oz jig head. It had to be that heavy to get down! The mrs puled in a few pinkies and yakkas but nothing took the livie. No kingy for me. There were a good number of squid taken by the guys around and one chap pulled in a 60ish cm flattie, lucky bugger. Anywho, thats enough from me. Lovely day had by all.

paulk001 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Nice report. That's a good spot for the family. My young son caught his first ever fish there haha. I've found the best time for Kingies there is just after sunrise, with live squid usually the best bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulk001 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Where are you planning on getting the kingy lb? At the same spot in your report? If so, you definately have a good chance of hooking up onto a kingy there. Actually landing the fish is another matter though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomey_git Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 I generally get down to the South coast from here. So the rocks around Batemans bay, Moruya maybe even Eden if I can get down there. Yeah I can imagine the logistics are a little difficult there. Although you could try and walk it down to the ferry warf. Thats a bit closer to the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
