josamill Posted February 2, 2015 Share 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!

Guest stephanb79 Posted February 3, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross patti Posted February 3, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmp075 Posted February 4, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayerOne Posted February 5, 2015 Share 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.
