Port Hacking Thursday 11/9 and Friday 12/9

[GCC]

Fished Port Hacking from my kayak yesterday afternoon (Thursday) - first collected nippers then drifted the flats nearby. Caught 2 whiting, both 39cm. Couldn't tell whether I had a travelly or tailor on as the fish fought so well and one jumped a few times. Was really surprised and very happy to find that both were whiting.

Also caught a 27cm bream.

All fish caught on a 4lb handline on nippers.

Very little surface action.

Kept getting followed around by a small stingray.

Fished Port Hacking this afternoon (Friday). Tried the flats without success. Tried the deep at Lilli Pilli for nothing. Then, saw a few surface splashes nearby and fortunately had a rod set up with a silver slice. First cast into the school and I caught a little 32cm tailor. That came home for the dog (our dog loves fish). Otherwise, no whiting and no bream.

Ate the whiting for dinner tonight (Friday) - they were awesome. Grilled the bream and it was first class as well.

Sorry, no photos.

Cheers

Nice whiting and good spotting on the school of tailor.

That's a great area to fish with the national park in the background and the clear water.

A nightmare to navigate for the uninitiated though with all the twisting channels up in the arms.
