GILL'T Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Went down to a little sand bank spot on the east end of Balmain for an afternoon flick around 5:30pm, with great water clarity at the moment and the wind easing up it was hard to resist, I'm making an effort to catch more fish on lures and I regret not doing it sooner. Saved these two flatties from drowning using Squidgies 'Silver Fox' , landed both withing 15 minutes of each other, really enjoying the warmer weather and becoming a member of the SP club. My trusty measuring thong is 30cm for record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaohuang Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Great to hear you are having success with lures, next time you can try shore slow jigging and double your casting range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mike89 A little further along at the bottom of Hosking/Johnston Street, you'd be facing Jones bay. Edited November 8, 2016 by GILL'T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day Papafish, Yes, Balmain local so the shoreline is pretty convenient. I have tried Nicolson street, but haven't had any luck there just donated a fair bit of gear to the snags/rocks. What have you caught there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
