dirtyh Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Ducked down the road to Corlette Beach after the overnight showers to catch the run in tide with the remainder of a bag of prawns bought a fortnight ago. Just settled in when the thundery showers returned with a vengance. After sticking it out for 5 minutes or so I headed for a covered BBQ area in the carpark soaking wet and waited it out. After a couple of undersized sand whiting (released), my persistence was rewarded with this fella. Amazing how a decent catch makes you forget the inconvenience of soaked clothing. dirtyh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjames95 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That's definitely true; everything wrong is forgotten when you finally get your reward, well done for sticking it out, sometimes you even find big bream sitting close in gullies after a bit of rain, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Well done mate! I was there at close to the same time. Got a few undersized myself and then went to the anchorage. The fish were there but not biting! The rain won the day! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Well done, mate! I've caught a few similar sized lizards off the beach at Corlette. Pump some yabbies, then fish with them in the same spot, or flick a soft plastic across the flats. Nothing more satisfying. In about 3 weeks, I'll be living right near there myself. Can't wait! Roll on the sea change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyh Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks fellas. I was probably expecting a bream if anything given the conditions but you never know. Considered the anchorage Scatchie but it looked a little crowded on the wall so I opted for the Conroy Park corner. I would have had some yabbies Baz but the rain came in yesterday afternoon just as I was planning to go so ended up having to use the prawns. I've done ok with the SPs at Jimmys in the past but haven't had any luck here with them. Will give 'em ago from time to time but I'm back in the bait camp at the moment. Lovely part of the world up here. dirtyh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the wall itself. Try the beach to the right of it. Access opposite peninsula ave! Some good bream and whiting there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyh Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks Mischief. Haven't fished Bagnalls for a while. Only moved up here late October so still have my L plates. Used to get good lizards there. I know where you mean Scratchie. We live just off Peninsula so 5 minutes walk away. I got a couple of just legal size whiting there before Christmas but I'll give it another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
