dicky21 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Hey all, Took the boat out to run in a new motor - and thought a good chance to try and sound out some new Yakka & Squid spots around the harbour. Usually I hit up Quarantine Station to grab them but they were VERY scarce last weekend. They weren't there again, so tried a few harbor side spots along Manly Reef beach - again nothing, out to Centurion - nothing. By this time I'd done a few hours on the motor so headed out to try and grab a flatty or two for dinner - only managed a few small ones on the 50 off macquarie light and it was pretty hard going so headed back in. At least the motor is run in now ! Anyone else having issues finding yakkas at the moment ? Edited December 11, 2016 by dicky21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Nice to wear the motor in a bit! Yep, I certainly am. Last year they were all over that area, just burley and you'd have thousands! This year I have yet to see a consistent run of them. Maybe they are a bit late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piss'n'Broke Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The yakka's are still at the centurion and the inshore reefs, & wrecks, but you want to catch them by first light. Ie if you don't have any by 5am your in for a hard days fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 They're under huge pressure in the harbour hopefully it's not unsustainable pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyT Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Was out last Wednesday and there were stacks and stacks of yakkas around the fridge, the artificial, long reef- they are just shutting down and going deep as soon as the sun is up , they are being hammered in the harbour by swarms of kings and are a bit gunshy- no shortage at all- often the days its hard to catch bait are because the bait is spending most of its energy on avoiding predators .

PaddyT Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 The area between Balmoral and the Spit opposite Clontarf- the schools can be anywhere in the general area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
