fishing steez Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Decided to head back to the North End Rocks at Maroubra last night as the swell and wind had dropped right off from previously in week. I arrive a good hour and a half before the high tide and had baits in the water by around 7pm. Not much happened for the first 2 hours and it seemed like it was going to be a fishless night untill about 30 mins after tide change I get two massive bumps on the rod tip so I grab the rod and strike, feels like a pretty decent fish. After a short fight and a few cool ariel displays in the dark I pull up a nice Kahwai (Australian Salmon). So I rig up another pillie on the ganged hooks again and lob it out. Not 5 mins later the rod bends over again, so I strike and hook up again. This time it feels slightly smaller and doesnt put up much of a fight utill i get it close into the rocks where it trys a final dash for freedom. I manage to land it but this time to my suprise it is a small tailor. This is starting to fire up. I throw another pillies out on the gangs and 10 mins pass before I get another decent hit. I strike and feel a more substatial weight, this fish puts up a better fight and I hoping it doesnt head for the rocks and bust me off. I direct the fish to the lower ledge and finally wash it up to reveal a much nicer tailor, stoked! I continue to fish for another hour but with no luck, the fish must have moved on so i call it a night. All in all good night with 3 Fish landed for the smoker, wrapped! Few pics, but pretty bad quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderFisher Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Nice work. I'm heading to the same spot in the morning, I've been pulling in some ok tailor from that spot. Nice to hear that the salmon are still around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing steez Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Went again last night but fished more around the corner, landed another nice tailor and a shovel nose shark. Lost two Talior right at the rocks due to snapping off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest no one Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 hmm, so which part is call the North End Rocks ? I assume he means where the beach meets the rocks at the north end of the beach - by the big rubix cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
