rockfisherman Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Hi raiders I had been eyeing out Saturday all week, it was the perfect combination of swell and tide to go pigging. Went to my usual spot at south coogee, as I'm walking down, joggers looking at me like I'm crazy for going fish in this crapping weather, and I look back at them like they're crazy for jogging in it haha. Any how my suspicions were confirmed landing 4 good pigs... Will get pics up soon.

LuckyFil Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Well done on picking the right conditions and following through. Its always tricky getting enough swell to create the wash they like but not too much to make it dangerous.
Jay88 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Well done mate! I went to fish coogee once...was not the best report ... even though it was of the beach. May I ask how you got to the rocks?
rockfisherman Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Well done mate! I went to fish coogee once...was not the best report ... even though it was of the beach. May I ask how you got to the rocks? I climbed down. You should go for a scout around at high tide and have a look where you can and can't access. I say high tide so you don't become trapped between tides. Coogee beach produces more towards the centre of the beach. Last time I was there, between me and the fisho next to me, there was bream. Whiting, flathead and salmon caught. All on pilchard, bar the whiting on blood worm Harry
innovative Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Well done on the pigs, Dam i was in the same position eyeing out the conditions for sat all week, had planned to hit it this arvo just before the high but got caught up with weekend chores. Bumper for me but bloody bonus for you. ? some nice fillets on those guy's enjoy ?
rockfisherman Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Damn right about the fillets
Krispy ! Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Great bag of pigs mate those are some tasty looking fillets for sure
rockfisherman Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Great bag of pigs mate those are some tasty looking fillets for sure They sure we're tasty...I think me needs to invest in a good filleting knife, that's pretty much all I do with my fish these days. Harry
innovative Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 What's the proposed recipe for those fillets harry??? They sure look tasty?
rockfisherman Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 What's the proposed recipe for those fillets harry??? They sure look tasty? They were dusted with flour and fried last night. It was more awesome than awesome...knowing that the fish were alive less than 12 hours before... Fishos are spoilt when it comes to freshness of seafood. Harry
rockfisherman Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 Are they black fish??? These are rock black fish, or more commonly known as black drummer... The black fish I belive you are referring to are luderick Harry
Mike89 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 These are rock black fish, or more commonly known as black drummer... The black fish I belive you are referring to are luderick Harry Nice catch Harry. I'm looking for some new species to chase. You basically use luderick gear to get them? I"m pretty near to Coogee, maybe I should give it a bash some time.
rockfisherman Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 Nice catch Harry. I'm looking for some new species to chase. You basically use luderick gear to get them? I"m pretty near to Coogee, maybe I should give it a bash some time. Definitely not luderick gear. Generally people fish 3-4kg for luderick. The lightest I'd go for pigs (black drummer) personally is 10kg line, my rod is a little lighter at 8kg and I use an alvey. You probably can fish 6-8kg and you will get some legal models, but big boys will sort you out real quick.

Mike89 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Big boys like this. This one is off a mates instagram They are big boys! I didn't realise the size of them in the first photo. What baits do you use?
rockfisherman Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 They are big boys! I didn't realise the size of them in the first photo. What baits do you use? You can use prawn, bread and cunji, all of these will work depending on the day. Harry
