howies Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 After dropping a couple of crab pots off with some frozen mullet I Spent the day trying to chase kingies in Pittwater, I went to poke my head out through west head this morning but backed off Half way down palmy as the swell was getting big already and I am sure it would have been hell out there, Popped over to the basin for a dozen yakkas, 3 squid and 2 slimies, I trolled these up and down from palmy to Scotland island, I had one Slimy bitten in half near clareville wreck, The only joy I had was a 62cm kingy caught on a butterflied yakka drifted unweighted at Scotland. Called it a day and checked on traps 9 in total one full of eggs that lived to beed. Singapore chilli crab for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzell Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Was up there Sunday and noticed a lot of crab pot markers on that shoreline. Is it a good time for them? Didn't have much joy myself on Sunday. Plenty of marks on the sounder but kept getting my lures destroyed by leatherjackets. Pittwater can be a fickle mistress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howies Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yeah all the crabs have fattened up and are full of sweet meat, I had heaps of marks too for kings but even the squid was left and were being destroyed by pickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginko Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I've also been out in Pittwater, chasing the kings for nothin'. Recently, I had some marks show up down about 10m on the west side about 100m off of a drop-off, and my slimey was bitten super-cleanly in half down there by something - I assume a big tailor or shark. My fishin' diary from previous years has the kingies back in Pittwater at this time of year, but so far, I have had absolutely no success raising them: with slimies, yakkas, squid, and even on a fly that was a damn fine imitation of the eyes that are around in Pittwater atm. In fact, I've found all fish life to be in extra short supply up there this summer, apart from the pinkies and leatherjackets. Were there still loads of jelly blubbers in Pittwater when you were out?
