Brew Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hey Guys, Just a quick heads up to those who fish Pittwater/Hawkesbury. The bonnies and tailor are around in decent numbers between Barrenjoey and West Head. Had heaps of fun today however the swell is nasty so be careful. Look for the birds. Good luck.

Yes, had an xrap out in pink that got bitten off straight away. Just used the one rod after that due to being solo and the swell. Halco Laser pro white head did all the damage. Caught about 15 Bonnies and 5 tailor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy-livin Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 How good are the halcos. They would be my Lure of choice for Bonnies. Thats a solid catch! I'd love to be out reeling them in rather than work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost too many to those bloody baracudas in recent months. My recent report on the Mako was a Halco too. And no, I'm not a shareholder - wish I was!!
