neilm Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 G'day folks. Dawn start just north of Emerald St at Narrabeen saw overcast skies and persistent drizzle. High tide at about 08:30 am, low light conditions, should be ideal for a sambo or two I thought. Found a nice gutter and berleyed up with bits of pilchard and stuck a bait out. Nothing. Moved further south to another gutter, nothing. Even the terns were sitting on the beach, doing a fly past every now and then and not even bothering to dive. Gave it away at about 09:30. Haven't been so cold since a pike fishing episode in Pommyland in freezing fog - when the fog lifted I found my bait had been sitting on ice on the top of the lake... Anyway, I hope you guys have better luck than I did. Cheers, neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennos Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I just got back from Narra beach, threw soft plastics around in the gutters from Loftus Street north to the Surf Club. Feet got cold, that was about it. Looks great though. Cheers Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizza Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Bad luck Niel. The Northern Beaches have been very average lately. My best sambo session occured about 2 months ago, but my last couple of sessions have been absolute duds. I have tried different tides, locations, moons etc, but made no difference. My diary of this time last year had me hooking good numbers of salmon and tailor off Narrabeen. Let's hope for a late run of fish.. It's even more frustrating after reading great reports of acres of salmon schools running riot off the beaches at Forster and Hawks Nest.. Cheers, Spizza Ps/ Emerald Street always holds a nice gutters. Picked up most of my best sambo action there last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
