hookerbruce Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Fished Lilli Pilli sand flat on fri had hoped to fish the Fad but opted for the comfort of the river. Pumped nippers and fished the nipper beds for not much result. Moved to Lilli Pilli and fished hard in about a dozen spots managed 4 bream 30-35 cm, a 30 cm whiting and 3 blue swimmers. Decided the FAD would be too busy on the weekend so picked mon for a FAD trip. Headed out to Port Hacking FAD Monday morning, solo as my crew pulled the pin late on sunday. Also had son going out in his boat for company. Had a bit of live bait in the boat so went straight out. First 3 live baits got hammered but no hook up. Tried a pillie next for a nice 85cm dollie. Switched between live bait and pillies and landed 5 dollies over next 2 hrs things were a little sluggish. Saw a couple of boats come and leave without a fish. Best two took a good 10 mins each to land especially a 1m fish. They really perform next to the boat when your solo. On the way back in stopped for a quick flattie drift as my wife doesn't like eating dollies. Bag of 10 in 40 mins. Repaid a few people for favours and the neighbours for early morning noise plus plenty of fish to eat. bruce Edited March 14, 2018 by hookerbruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 A great effort there Bruce, dollies then a bag of flatties. Up river is a bit quiet at present. The rain is rather sparse, yet on the northern side of the city they are copping plenty of rain. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabs were on line. Don't think you are allowed to use crab nets/traps in Port Hacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
