Basil D Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Been trying to work out the grounds down south for a couple of years now but looks like this year has paid off, Let me tell you its not easy down down there and if you think you can just take your boat and have a big day out on these fish you have another thing coming , its called disappointment, To have a good day out first think of been on the water and work out the area and hope these fish bite, I have seen them on the sounder but they wont touch anything, then there are days you wished you stayed in bed especially for the beginner but dont let that stop you, just have fun, you will get the odd fish and maybe a few, then there is these guys with awesome sounders and just bloody good at what they do and just pick these fish of like cherries , And I know I will be back down south with my tail between my legs after a long day with only one fish in the esky, but hey thats called fishing, its awesome Edited July 31, 2015 by Groper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Some good fish there Groper. The legal sized reddies inside Port Hacking have been scarce the last couple of years, appears they have moved outside and grown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquidMarks Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Im willing to be the guinnea pig here and try out the bommie theory but i just a clarification, when he says 'behind' the bommie. is he talking seaward side or the shallow, calm inner side?
