Port Hacking

[Yowie]

Headed out early this morning up from Lilli Pilli in the deep. Took the son-in-law along.

The fishing was again fairly quiet, plenty of yakkas, and pillies jumping in various places, but, nothing bigger that I could see. Around this time of year, the tailor tend to swim a bit deeper in the Hacking and are not always splashing about.

Used salted pillies and strips of fresh caught yakka, the yakkas caught the fish.

The S-I-L caught one bream, I caught the rest, and he took home something else besides a bream. The bites were slow, but as soon as the sun appeared from behind the early morning cloud, all bites stopped. Rather strange.

Top breams and flatheads! Very good result again as always, especially when the quality of the fish are taken into consideration!

Hi Dave

Couple of nice flatties. I must be fishing on the wrong side of the boat lately can't seem to get any flatties in the Hacking.

Did get 1 legal reddie near the deeper water at lilli pilli on sat morning but had already cut it up when I took the photo.

Thank you. The S-I-L told me he wanted to pull up a big flattie, and he no sooner said that and I pulled up the larger one.

The flatties have been a bit scattered lately. With the clearer water, some species have probably moved up river a bit.

Normally March is a good time for the Hacking. There is always next week Bruce, could be better then.
