Howdoweplaythis Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hi folks, Did some beach fishing on the Northern Beaches last night. No wind, low swell - beautiful night. Arrived at around 6pm Started by using ganged pilchards (was too lazy to collect livebait tonight). Picked up a small salmon first up followed by a legal tailor - perfect. Threw out slabs of tailor whilst burleying hard with old fish frames and pillies. First fish up was a banjo ray, followed up by a bronze whaler and then a 60cm salmon that had engorged itself on my berley. Last fish of the night was a small bronzie. Also had a bust off by something large. The bite shut down at around 9pm so packed up. Two salmon came home with me because my family likes them and my dog and cats LOVE them but not my cup of tea. Still waiting for my first jewfish but had an awesome night nonetheless Snapped a pic of the larger shark for memories sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have hooked onto something that I think was a jewfish in the past (huge run) but this didn't have that. Felt more sharky but will never know.

captain_cook Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Nice catch! We were also out Friday night, we had similar success, 1 Banjo Ray, 2 Salmon over 55cm, some whiting. Caught one legal Salmon Saturday morning, lost something decent on a metal lure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to hear some whiting still around. What bait did they take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cook Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 They took some old beach worms that had been salted. I could also feel them striking at my pillies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
