codymanly Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hey guys, well... winter has arrived. I've three very disappointing land based sessions on Sydney's Northern Beaches over the last month and a bit. Admittedly, I've never had a crack at beach fishing, and I'm now beginning to realise I need to skill-up in that department if I want to keep my line tight in winter... But wow, all my usual haunts have been well and truly dead of late. That said, I've spent the down time attempting to perfect the art of squidding, and I got an absolute ripper feed the other night - two for the price of one! I got a decent sized arrowhead on my jig, closely followed by his mate, who thanks to some quick thinking from my buddy, also ended up in the net. Beer battered salt n pepper squid! Sorry, no photos but next time I'll make sure I take some. Cheers raiders, hope you're all having better luck than I am at the moment! Codes.

Scratchie Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Unlucky codie! At least you got out and had a go! Farvos- the hawksebo can do that to you sometimes! It's either feast or famine there. Cowan creek is holding some good fish though! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
