Guest Guest123456789 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi Raiders, Headed out this morning late as I had my son's swimming lesson. Got the boat in the water at east gosford ramp about 10:30. Started off trolling for about an hour with two hard bodies on the back. Kept getting weed so had to abort that tactic. Headed to St Hubert's island and flicked soft plastics around. Z man grub on 1/24 and a z man 5 inch bleeding banana minnow on a 1/4. Again, weed made life pretty hard. Headed to the rip bridge and dead sticked a soft plastic and also flicked around a grub and minnow for about an hour. Finally marked some bream size fish but they wouldn't bite. Still had a good time exploring and learning. Thanks for reading. Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was my Saturday so you're not alone. All that effort for not even one fish, I know it's called fishing not catching but come on! On the other hand the system is under enormous recreational and commercial pressure so expectations can't be too high. i may be a one season boater, all the cost and effort to not catch anything is hardly worth it. Might go back to targeting luderick and bonito off the stones, I know I can catch them consistently.

Greyfox Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Brisbane Waters can be a funny place to fish. Sometimes its red hot and you are assured of a feed every time you hit the water, other times it seems to be baron of fish. Not sure why this happens, tides, moon phase, bait fish, who knows but it is always a good day when you are on the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
