Zacnoel Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys Fished jervis bay and surrounds yesterday with the intent of chasing a few Kings We were on the water before six and chasing bait, got a few squid and a selection of slimies and yakkas We headed straight for the cliffs below point perpendicular and fished here for about two hours with no joy. The area was dead ,even the same live squid bait kept coming up untouched At this point we saw some birds working about 2 miles out, so out went some lures but no luck. We then trolled south to wide of steamers beach , still no good. We now hit the bottom with some baits, when over the reefy areas we couldn't lose a bait. Things were looking grim. But the the humble flatly came to our rescue, once over sand we managed 10 each between the two of us and one Morwong. Water temps were ranging from 19 up to 22 degree over quite a small area. The water was really dirty and green , you lost sight of your bait after less than a metre. There was a healthy NE swell all day and when the wind picked up in the afternoon the sea got very messy.

angry ant Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I found at jb the other week the kings wouldn't hit anything except the down rigger at 15 meters deep same spot using live or dead squid or yakkas they even hit strip baits all fish went around 60 cm all released but good fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacnoel Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Hi angry ant, yes two weeks ago they were on fire and we were picking them Up in 15m also. I had the down digger set between 15 and 20 this time also with no result. I received a call from some friends who were out wider on Monday . They were hooking up on metre plus kings at the banks And yes MV Sunray they will be very tasty, thanks for the replies Edited February 24, 2015 by Zacnoel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezM Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I find JB looks so good but like you have found it harder than it looks. We scored some rats kings earlier in the year but all under sized as were the flatties. All the reports seem to suggest it's an outside the Bay hotspot. In any case the scenery and wildlife is enough to keep people returning. Thanks for the report. Dez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacnoel Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 No Worries Dez AS you say even a bad fishing day is still a nice day out at JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
