kyngfish Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Went out last Thursday and Friday night fishing for Hairies at Jerusalem. Caught about 6 on Thursday night but they were only 1.1m and 1.2m. Don't like to keep any under about 1.4m as they do have a few bones. Friday night no hairtail but lots of phosphuros so not sure if this scares them. It was quite warm out there so maybe still a bit early but I had no choice nut to go when I did. Lots of bait fish including lots of garfish, never seen so many in the water. Also caught a couple of flathead 50cm, snapper 38cm, a small jew and a squid. So not too bad for this time of year I suppose. May try again in August otherwise next year will be able to fish at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishingGuy Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 What are Hairtail like for eating? Cheers, FishingGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyngfish Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 We got squid near Flint & Steel. But there was a couple in Jerusalm that followed our baits but would not get onto a squid jig. I am not a big fish eater but I like Hairtail and all the people I give them to like the taste but last year a couple said too many bones. That is why I will only keep bigger ones in future.

robert magill Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Was fishing the mouth of the Maclay River 2 weeks ago for Blackfish and just under the float was a Hairtail swimming backward and forward trying to get its way back to the sea. Must have got lost. Strange, I have never seen them there before and have fished this spot for 40 years or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harold Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I am off to Jerusalem Bay tomorrow straight after we pick up our son from school. Will be there until Sunday morning hoping we can land a Hairy or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyngfish Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 I think on the Friday night we went to bed too early as a mate of mine was there the weekend before and said that there were small ones around early then nothing until a few hours later and bigger ones came in and they did a couple of laps.
