Davemmm Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 G'day Fair while since I've posted. Mainly because I seem to have lost my ability to catch fish. I've had an absolute miserable time lately with very few fish coming over the side. So after a bit of a whinge up the pub a mate of mine took pity on me and dragged me up the Hawkesbury early on Saturday morning. We anchored up at his favourite spot and shot a bit of berley over the side and before either of us could get baited up his old man had one in the boat. Then my mate got one then his old man got two then my mate. Five in the boat in about thirty minutes and none of them where mine. I started to feel like the loss of Mojo was bloody real. By now the sun was well up and we were a bit into the run out. Then I landed one. It just wasn't a keeper. Then it came, a keeper! Not a big bluenose but still a reasonable bream We fished for around four hours when the fish suddenly went off. By this stage we had about twentyfive in the boat and had thrown back around ten including four or five that were legal at twentyfive or six. We upped anchor and had a couple cracks at a few other spots for another couple. Then shot through. We ended up with twenty nine bream and a flathead all caught on nippers. Glad to say that I may not have got a clean third of the catch but did hold my end up. There was another couple caught after this was taken but the phone went flat.

Jew Stalker Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Indeed we do stewy, I haven't been able to land a trout this summer at all. I have a feeling all that is about to change though now I am back in Merimbula. The salt is calling my name... I can hear the beach from where I am sitting at home. The trout however will never be neglected. Eucumbene is within driving distance for a nice day out in the sweetwater too. I can feel my mojo returning as I type this. Luc.

Those boys sure know how to fish the hawksbury....the old boy certainly knows that system like the back of his hand.....5 x 43cm+ whiting last week on worms...

pogsy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have been critical of the hawksbury in the past, but have seen signs of improvement in the last year. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
