Hawkesbury trip Sat 22/3/14

Hi all,

Sorry for the delayed report. My mate (Galini1) and i headed into the the hawkesbury last saturday morning. Conditions were expected to be great overcast and 27degrees and for once the weather report was right it stayed over cast ( could not believe it ).

We kicked off at 5am heading to Flint and steel with an array of fresh bait including hawkesbury prawns, salted pillies, fresh pillies, chicken gut and an armada of soft plastics and Vibes.

Anyway Flint and steel 5am - 9am resulted in about 6 legal bream biggest going 33cm

9am - Break

9-30am - 1pm Drifting around patonga throwing soft plastics and soft vibes resulting in 3 flatties to 45cm, lost 2 big flatties at the boat one threw the hooks and the other ( cannot believe this) the ring pulled out of the soft vibe ( not happy about this as was a $30 lure) all in all it wasnt to bad for me as both disasters happened to my mate which resulted in approx 6 hours of me telling him that he has no idea and him telling me i have s**t lures.

1pm - 4pm Anchored up inside juno point to get out of the wind resulted in 4 jewies all undersize but fun nonetheless on bream gear all between 55-65, these catches were inbetween stingrays and snags.

4pm - 7pm Back to flint (as the wind died down) another 5 bream smallest being 30 biggest being 37.

All in all it was a pretty good day on the water, moral of the story is dont waste time fishing the wrong times in the wrong places if the tide is running to hard move and find somewhere easier to fish or if the wind is howling find a nice little corner.

Also the bait of the day was hawkesbury prawns.

Finally 7 30pm - 9pm stuck at the ramp flat battery (luckily the bush mechanic Galini was there)

Thanks guys

Well done on the fish fellas. The hawkesbo is very tidal and by the sounds of it you hit all the right areas. The hawkesbo prawns are the best bait and will catch nearly everything in that system. A small tip for that area, half hitch the tails when fishing with prawns. Will result in more hook ups! Unlucky about the lure, does happen sometimes!

Cheers scratchie!!!

Long day on the water and a pretty good result

you have S&%T lures Pescatore... i have been struck by the soft vibe reveloution... way too much fun catching (well hooking) fish on those things.
