CATCHING HERRING & YAKKAS

[Mudge62]

Can u catch herring or yakkas at Berowra Waters?

[blaxland]

looking at google earth seems worth a try at least for yakkas and I would think mullet as well

Only one sure way to find out!

plenty of herring , not the best area for yakka's (in fact I cant ever remember catching one there)- herring are a better bait up there anyway- most of the channel markers have them in the back eddies. The way I catch them is get in close to the channel marker and the hering will come out under the shadow of your boat, then use a bait jig with the tiniest hooks you can find , very little lead and let it "slide" under the boat, the herring will load up on the jig very quickly

Do you mean Sabiki rigs with no bait?
