sam bros Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Just a quick report Did an overnight trip on Wednesday night targeting hairtail. Launches at apple tree bay, plan was to head to Jerusalem bay. But there was very thick fog and visibility was barely 10m. GPS helped with navigating the water way, but it was very difficult to see if there was any other boats. Decided to be safe and stay at waratah bay. I started Berleyed hard and eventually some life started to show on the sounder. But unfortunately, could not get a single hit. I was using pilchards and squid for bait. The next morning, the fog was still really bad and didnt clear until 9am. Headed into the hawkesbury to target some flathead on plastics. Moved around to a couple of my trusty spots and tried a few new areas. But still could not manage a bite. Went to Juno point at the tide change with some bigger fresh baits for a jew. But also didnt get a hit Overall the fishing was very quite, only managed a few undersized fish. But I still thoroughly enjoyed the day. Just being out on the water again was amazing. It was the first fishing trip in about 2 months, because I had uni exams. So hopefully now that exams are over, I will have more time to go fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savit Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thanks for the report mate for the area. Cowan in the morning (fog&sun) is amazing. Do not worry about hairtail much, similar results were reported from both WB and JB for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the hairtail come on the bite next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
