recurve Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Went out a bit later than usual and boy was it busy out there. Launched from Port Kembla and saw the big cruise ship come in so gave them a wave and warm welcome to Paradise. Then we started jigging. We jigged and jigged and jigged. Jigged over here and jigged over there. Tried jigging with this lure and that lure and tried different jigging styles. Was a lot of jigging before a Salmon was hooked up, then a big Tailor and then finally a King, but too small, another King but too small. More jigging and we got a keeper, 69cm yee haa!! Then we got another good one but he was very cunning and he shot under the boat and used the Electric Anchor to his advantage and left me with a mess to sort out. Good day but christ was it slow. Something going on, seemed like they were full or just not on the chew, maybe all the boat traffic put them away? We could see fish on the sounder but they were not grabbing the Jigs and when we put down a live Squid which conveniently came to the boat it was smashed in no time but no hook up. More fishing mystery. Great day to be on the water. NSW SC = Paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Sounds like a top day out on the water despite the slow start. Just read another report from Sydney Harbour with a similar story: plenty of fish on the sounder but none taking what was offered. At least you bagged one nice king!

tilt Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I fair reckon they're not hungry for some reason.. I've been throwing out every type of bait I can get to no success. It'll happen, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Funk Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 We got a heap of fish that same day out at port. Live yakkas were the key. we kept running out. we would load up with 10-15 livies and then have to head back and get more every half hour or so. Only ended up with 3 keepers among the rats but the baits were only lasting a matter of minutes each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymondo Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Sounds like you had a good session Dr Funk (love the user name). Were the yakkas around the break walls? Haven't seen the yakkas out wider lately, there defiantly looking for structure with the kings around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Funk Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 yeah, top session. The yakkas were in near the refueling wharf (okay if you get there early) and we were also able to jig a few up through kings when we were on the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
