Brew Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) Hi Guys, Had a quick two hour run in the boat on Thursday and caught this hairy in 35 metres. Obviously a big surprise. Made me wonder, what's the deepest you have caught a Hairtail offshore? Edited May 14, 2017 by Brew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjames95 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 well done mate, where abouts did you catch the fella? Ive caught a hairy in winter out in 90m from long reef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 As there is not a lot known about hairtail, Ive read they believe in the warmer months they head for the deep water offshore and venture back as the water cools. So not surprising to catch them in all depths of water especially out front of the Hawkesbury!! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonywardle Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 A few people I know caught some last week off Boxhead in about 40 metres and one caught one while bottom bashing for flaties in 50 metres so I guess they are around anytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
