Bass point

[elferoz777]

Hi all

 

Have the frigates and bonnies arrived at bass point?

 

I heard the kingys have been a while but nothing else. Im thinking of a mid week fish next week.

Can't answer, but I'm curious, is Bass Point a good spot for that type of fishing. I assume it's spinning - metals?

cheers

Thanks for the responses. 

 

Im needing to take a day off and thought I would  try spinning rather than my recent default of black fishing. Its been a long while since my disasterous debut at bass point so hoping i can redeem myself.

Yes, it's pretty good, just take a look any day of the week on the point East of the gravel loader, it will be shoulder to shoulder casting, lots of the yellow raincoat brigade there, all catching (and keeping) Salmon, big Slimies, Bonito, Frigates and small Kingfish.

Cheers Noel

They would be fishing pilchards under a float, wouldn't they.

Bit of both, floats, and some spinning, I think the regulars kind of line up to make it hard for anyone else to fish, strangers usually get a bit of a cold shoulder.

Yeh i had a bloke have go at me fir wearing kleats. Said if i needed them i should be fishing there......i was more worried about the lures flying mm past my head or drowning moreso than being a hard ass.

Any good beach fishing spots around Shellharbour?  I was down Bass point for a look yesterday. Most people catching fish on pillies under a float.

Almost all the beaches fish OK, up towards Lake Illawarra tends to be a bit more consistent, but Shellharbour South beach is good too, use worms for bait for just "general" fishing or Pilchards and lures for Tailor and Salmon, lots of mixed size Tailor around, pretty big swell today though.

Awesome. Thanks.I've got a few different size slices and lures. Size wise what sort of weight lure would you be using? Hoping the swell dies down this week so I can get out and use my new rod.
