RexSenior Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Hi Raiders Just a quick report from a 3 day trip to the Hawkesbury (Little Wobby) this week. Our last trip was a ripper in May and we anticipated the fishing to be even better now however this was not the case! Managed a few flatties (up to 53cm) and bream (up to 38cm) for a feed but in general there was a lot of waiting with not much going on. As we were land based in an area with no access other than by ferry we persisted - most fish were caught on cheap cooked prawns from Woolies despite there being ample recently caught Hawkesbury River prawns being flung out. Crab pots were out in force with not a single touch! Not sure if it was the recent rain or large amount of phosphorous in the water but we were struggling! Last night my uncle landed a 55cm jew yet again on cooked prawns, I stayed up late without a decent hit in a few hours and finally the rod buckled after throwing out a poorly presented slab of tailor (coupled with ,around 200g of lead to keep it down with the racing outgoing tide). After a short yet solid fight we had an 82cm Jewy in the net, my first over legal size. Cheers, James Edited November 13, 2015 by Scratchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
