brett davis Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 fished the river sat from 6am till 12 noon ,bar point to spencer very quite two flathead 50 and 52 cm one blue swimmer crab we were armed with 10 traps for the crabs and live poddy mullet for the for the fish , told the mate we would clean up on crabs and fish but it was not to be did anyone else have the same experience ,??? I put it down to too much fresh in the river maybe we should of fished the front (flint and steel )
josamill Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 G'day Brett......similar..........fished Pittwater both mornings. Fish around for sure but we weren't good enough. Highlight on Saturday was a 60cm flathead at Mackeral Beach, but that's pretty much it.......a just legal flounder & bream, and a huge bust off on a plastic after 1 minute and some massive head shakes.. zero crabs from 2 nets so you beat me there! Kingfish everywhere both days, but couldn't entice them with live yakka or fresh bonito. Girl on boat next to us caught one - 70cm - on a pink K-Mart rod, frozen prawn.......took her 20 mins..........my live yakka had been 30 meters away all that time????? I'll be back though!
fisho.sid Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Mate flint and steel and juno point were quiet for me too.... though i fished the dusk period with live squid and fresh gars. May try pittwater soon...
brett davis Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 I am glad it just was not me than , might try the hacking or gorges net week can not be any worse I hope
fisho.sid Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Lets hope! Although 3 weeks ago i ran out of fuel, silly me! Could be worst i suppose, but lets hope not.
stevefish Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Hi Brett, were you fishing down the middle in the deep or on the shallow banks?
Guest stephanb79 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I am glad it just was not me than , might try the hacking or gorges net week can not be any worse I hope keep away from the hacking when it rain thats what ive been told away ??? i love fishing from bar point to spencer with plastics for flathead .... i think we have had some funny tides lately so i wonder if that was the problem.. i always come home with a good feed of flatties from there.. i love that spot . i want to give st george basin ago for flatties
ross patti Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I hear you, Brett !. I fished Sunday from the road bridge to Pumpkin point, with primo baits and came home with 1 flattie. Caught 2 gajillion bloody catfish, 1 undersize bream and the flattie. Very quiet, very sad.
brett davis Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 worked the banks and the drop offs
bmp075 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I've been fishing Berowra waters down to Gunya Point with Plastics for both bream and Mulloway including on 30th Jan, 1 Feb and 3 Feb. The fishing was better at the beginning with 3 bream and a bucket load of undersized flathead. Bar Point a big fat Zero each time, and Gunya point not much happening there either. I find the big spring tides in the Hawesbury very tricky so I tend to fish the feeder systems when these occur and my chances improve. I'm shocked by the lack of bream in the system.. We need the oyster men back on the river.
fisho.sid Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah where are the breambos .. Always getting squires
PlayerOne Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 We were out last Saturday morning in Pittwater.... We had 2boats, tried everything including baits, plastics, vibes, even caught & used live squid and still got pretty much nothing worth mentioning.
sunbury Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Isn't hawkesbury river closed for all nets? I'm struggling to find a spot to catch some mud crabs, any tips? Thanks!
bessell1955 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 What type of nets do you mean, crab or fish?
sunbury Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 What type of nets do you mean, crab or fish? Crab trap I meant... thanks
seasponge Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Crab traps are allowed in Hawkesbury. Not allowed in Brinsbane Waters. As far as i know!
