Scratchie Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Gday raiders, I'm currently on holidays in qld for my wife's 40th birthday! Ive managed to sneak out two afternoons and after some advice from fellow raider pred_ator, the junior scratchies and I were keen to get amongst them. First we hit the southport area with relatively strong winds and low tide but we cast a few hundred times for not a touch. Today, we caught up with Stan and had another few hundred casts for zeros again! Now, I know a bought my lure in NSW but surely the fish don't know that! Lol. Overall, it was still great to get out and about. Then meeting up with Stan for the first time and having a chat whilst we fished even know we are in another state was pretty cool. Fishraiders are awesome! Thanks for your time and info Stan, muchly appreciated! Cheers scratchie!!! p.s QLD I hate you too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hey Jeff. The area is being hammered by pre fishing for the flathead classing coming up. I think they might be a bit gun shy! If you're still around Sunday sneak down just over the border early & we can go get some wild bass if you like. I've got a spare yak. It's the best time of year to chase them up here as they've just come back from the salt after spawning & are usually hungry! Cheers, Grant.

Yowie Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Good luck at Wooli. The fishing was a bit slow in places in Qld when I was there for a few months ( only fished from the shore or a jetty or 2) but the locals complained about the excessive wind, a bit worse than normal, and when I had a few swims along the various coastal beaches, the water was several degrees cooler a metre or 2 under the surface.

Correct. The flatties are about outside Port Hacking. You could try casting for them. (water is only 30 to 40 metres deep ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyFil Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hey Scratchie I was at Wooli last week - didn't score any fish myself but the charter guy up there told me they had been getting jews off the end of the breakwall just after the bottom of the tide. There is usually a bit of dirty water around both sides of the breakwall end at that time and they were sitting in that - good luck! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough fishing this area without a boat I think. Beautiful part of the world though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
