piratin Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Noticed all these reports of reds down south so we decided to check out some of the reefs out from Sydney. Sunday had an early tide change and an overcast morning well actually showers so the conditions were quite suitable. The moon was on the build and little current. We fished north from Sydney heads and right on the tide change we caught this red. We use floaters and jigs and fish in depths from 35m - 80m. The fish was caught on a bottom ship jig. It hooked up on the drop. We ended up with six reds and a mixture of tiger and sand flat head from some of the deeper water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
