tide'n'knots Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 gday raiders. I haven't been online much lately because I went through a relationship breakup in December and was without a computer for quite a while and had to do everything on my phone but I am all setup again now and thought it was about time to put up a report. I took a week off work in april with the idea of fishing wisemans ferry but on my first trip realised that the large amount of rain we had prior to april had completely ruined things, the water was chocolate brown and there was so much fresh that all I caught in the first hour of fishing was fresh water eels so I packed up and went home thinking that I should wait until September / October before fishing there again, however with the recent warm weather we have been having I had a sneaky suspicion that the season may extend slightly this year and the water temp is still quite warm for this time of year so I decided to give it another crack on Saturday. I arrived at the very gentlemanly hour of 10am and only fished until 1pm and managed a nice 76cm jew as well as around a dozen smaller soapys and an undersized flathead .....not bad for 3 hours fishing. I actually left at the best time as the tide was just turning to run out as I left and I have found the run out tide slightly better than the run in tide but I had enough at that stage and I decided to give it a better crack this coming weekend before the weather gets too cold. All fish were caught on my favourite bait down there - peeled Hawkesbury prawns. I haven't figured out how to get the photo from my phone into the computer yet so I have texted it to swordy and he will put up a pic soon ( thanks stewy.) pete.

Cheers Witha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk gday mate I just use a trace roughly about 1mtr with a 1/0 hook or a size 1 hook depending on the size of the prawns with a ball sinker just big enough to get bottom. for some reason they seem to work better peeled, and they seem to outfish squid or strip baits too don't ask me why I really cant answer that one? pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pete Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk gday mate, i would be fishing either the public wharf or the bend in the river near the ferry. spotieanddotie has been getting them there from the wharf for a couple of weeks on squid according to his report, what ever you decide to use for bait make sure its in prime condition. I would be throwing one rod out baited with a double hook rig and california squid and another with peeled prawn, dont be afraid to put two prawns on if they are a little bit small make sure the hook is loaded up well. good luck. pete.

tide'n'knots Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Hey mate, nice fish! You saying you got that on a praaaaawn? Good luck with the relationship stuff too gday dave, I get 90% of my jew up at wisemans on peeled prawn, it seems to work better than most other things probably because it is a big part of their diet in that part of the river. I have caught a few on squid and strip baits also but its amazing how many times you can have a big bait out and the rod with a peeled prawn bends over and takes off with a good fish on it, including several over the 20lb mark! all good with the relationship stuff too mate - I have recently met someone very special and as a bonus she likes fishing! pete Edited June 5, 2014 by tide'n'knots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
