Jords boi Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 First time poster and fairly new to fishraider, already learnt a heap so thanks everyone. Mostly do my fishing off jetty’s and the shoreline around the Hawkesbury, cottage point, bobbin head, areas around that. Just wondering what kind of set ups where best for fishing like this, would love some advice. Been catching a lot of small snapper, leather jacket and the occasional decent bream.

nutsaboutfishing Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Sounds like your using bait. Try using soft plastics. In my experience you tend to get less fish but the fish you do get are usually larger.

scottyboy Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hey mate,try the south easten rockwall near the roadbrige at bobbin head at night on the last 2 hours of the run out tide.use the freshest mullet strips or garfish fillets cast out with 6lb line and a tiny split shot and you will be in luck.This has worked for me many times over, mind you that was 10 years ago but caught plenty of o/s bream,school jew,and even a big eye trevally from that spot. Let me know how you get on. Cheers Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I’ve only had a bit of luck on soft plastics around this area, mainly small stuff, some tailor but that’s about it. But will take all these into account and give it another go this week! Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyboy Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 If you try during daylight you will see what your bait does as the tide goes out.There is a deep channel next to the rock wall ,follow your bait as it goes down the wall if you don't get a hit repeat the process. Good luck Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
