Farvos Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hit the bay today.. Had livies out all day around molineaux point, hat head and the drums.. No good all day.. Even on the troll came up with zero. Drifted with plastics for a couple of legal flatties but threw them back. Anyone else notice the same quiet situating? Water 18 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest no one Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Another terrible days fishing when all the signs are pointing the opposite direction. Off shore was dead!!! 40 nautical miles trawled for one click on a reel, the worlds biggest Dolphins were out at the canyons but no fish, or birds. Osborne shoal showed life in big marks but nothing biting. Drifted hacking for one flathead and a sweep. In the water at 7ish, out at 4ish... For one fish!

seacow Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Ditto. Trolled squid nearly everywhere in the bay for a big fat donut. No surface action no bait on the sounder and the swell was more than the forecast 1.4metres and lumpy as hell. In all a tough day on the water.

The Iceman Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 There's fish in the bay we found water just over 20deg against a drop off and there were plenty of trevs schooled up with some flatties needed to downsize our lures to get them to bite but that's not unusual at this time of year Took a bit of running around to find them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornets Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 On fishing reminder it said it was poor fishing day as moon is coming into full . I don't know how much of it believe but this time of year in between seasons it works for me . Just hang out for another month and it gets better with every species Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonywardle Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I was out off box head. Lots of drifting. Managed 5 good flatheads in a bout 6 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbu Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I was land-based, south side of the harbour between 5:30am and 8am. Salted Tailor strip from last weekend sat on the bottom and didn't get a touch. There were schools of trevs about though, some big ones. Landed a 32cm, 40cm and 48cm (PB for me) and got smoked under the wharf by two more big ~50cm ones. All fish landed on bread under a float.

Fab1 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yeah,bad luck.Makes our donut last week out on the hacking a little easier to swallow.We had fresh squid,pillys and prawns out for 2 undersized pinkys over several hours in a few spots.

Yowie Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Water temperature is down a bit from the last few weeks, so I suspect the fish have reacted to that sudden drop, even though it is only a slight drop. The water at Wanda Beach is still cool for a swim, though after a minute or so if you keep moving about, it is not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtBundy Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) I was land based off middle head and mosman bay. Started at 6am with fresh squid strip from local caught squid - no touches for 4 hours. At Mosman bay I got some nibbles from small snapper and one cheeky bloody little king followed my squid strip in when I had to wind in for a ferry but turned off near the surface - that was it. Packed up at 2pm. Oh yeah - I also managed to accidentally step on and break my favourite SP rod, so that was a great day topper.

Head home with 1 legal flounder.Happy that I was not the only one. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keofferam Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 It was quiet but we got fish. Sunday headed up to Long Reef trolling around North Head- nothing. Trolling around Long Reef- nothing. Bottom bashed at a couple of spots on the way, plastics, pilchards, jigs, squid, trying everything but nothing. Several boats down rigging for Kings but no apparent action. Ended up with two Snapper drifting back from Long Reef on squid and lots of rubbish reef fish. But two Whale sightings and the fish for dinner made it a very enjoyable morning outing. Probably lower water temp is keeping baitfish and hence the predator fish further out in warmer waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy-livin Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I went out on the new boat yesterday for an hour on the Georges and got a little tap on a plastic and scored some seaweed and an angry phone call from the missus because I forgot about a family function... Whoopssss Hence why I was on the water for under an hour haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahboy Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hay guys, was also out inside the bay yesterday (Sunday) fighting against the wind just before noon flicking soft plastics. Was initially discouraged after reading this post earlier on Saturday. Anyway, manage to get a couple including 72cm flathead and an unlucky luderick hooked by a jig.
