DaveTheBoy Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Getting near the rock ledges anywhere from Newcastle to Port Stephens proved tough this last weekend due to dangerous swells. Had a few sessions on a few beaches along that stretch of the coast - pretty hard at sunrise/dusk to miss out on tailor with the odd salmon in the mix too. These fish pictured were spun up on a 40g lure, all in the 45cm-55cm range (biggest fish was landed by my wife while I was bleeding the previous fish!) Pick of the beaches for me were Birubi to the north, Dudley to the South. Got a few salmon also at Blacksmiths. As ever fishing gutters is the key to winning - some frustrated people I came across on the beaches who missed out on fish just were not near gutters. Medium casting lures (40-50g) or 1/2 pilchards quite lightly weighted accounted for all my fish this weekend (high tides brought the fish in close).
