KingieRun Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Paddling around middle harbour in the yak and in one of the bays at the back where it was mostly sand flats, I saw fishing busting up frequently. One fish would bust up then 10 or 20 would follow. I tried chucking paddle tails at them but nothing. I don't know about the species involved but could anyone give me an idea of what they could have been? Cheers, KR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvarking Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 They were probably trevally or tailor, I catch a lot of them on the surface in middle harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recurve Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 No doubt Kings would have been there. Try pulsing the plastic to a rythym. Like they do on TV jigging. Paddle tail should work. I use Flick Baits on a Microjigging rod as has great action. Cast out and let lure drop, pulse up then let drop and do again. I often get hook ups directly below the boat. If no Kings and only trevally, use a small micro jig and change the jig action until they strike every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Could be salmon they get single minded when feeding on tiny glassies or whitebait..you need tiniest lures orSPs...rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 More than likely frigates! Same thing been happening in the shallow last up here! That would be my guess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfella Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi Guys; Just a suggestion. When whatever the fish seen are finicky like that a one inch S.P. in clear with a blue fleck has been successful for me. Might have to hunt around to find them though. Also of course , light jig heads and line. Cheers. Oldfella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berleyguts Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I agree. Frigates. They were smashing the bait schools over the flats in Salamander Bay last week. I sometimes pick them up on a small plastic or a very small metal slug (or a white barrel sinker running on a treble). Great fun on 1kg line!
