Fab1 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Well, ill be finally joining the brigade officially after next week as i have tossed in my old job and started a new job and chapter in my working life. Im expecting fewer people on the waterways/ramps etc. What are the other pluses that so many weekend anglers miss out on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragmeister Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hey Fabian, You are not wrong there.. its a lot quieter during the week. Still, sometimes I think when there are fewer boats around there can be a less action. Its a bit like a beach full of tailor fisherman is a good thing because it keeps the fish around longer. I suspect that more bait and movement in the water when there are a few boats around can get the fish on the bite. Anyway ... enjoy the solitude and the free run on the ramp! Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jim Lol.I don't think I'll notice the fewer fish around as I hardly am the fishing guru that catches more often than not.I enjoy just being out there and having a crack taking in the beautiful surroundings the waterways around Sydney have to offer.

I think the better fish are caught in the estuaries on the weekdays. You can stalk Yowie too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They miss out on the looks from the missus when you want to go fishing but there’s a family function or social event on. Saves a fight! Just fish on weekdays! ? Even when I have a weekend off work, I usually don’t bother going fishing - I prefer the quieter weekdays. I also tend to avoid fishing in school holidays.

I was thinking if I'm going to stalk him I'll gear up in scuba and sika flex myself to his hull like a barnacle as he'll recognise my boat.I may even bring my little 10cm bream and switch them with his fish as he brings his to the boat each time to save the hacking fish populations.? 8 hours ago, Berleyguts said: They miss out on the looks from the missus when you want to go fishing but there’s a family function or social event on.

Don't blame you skipping school holidays.I avoid fishing in them,public holidays,Xmas etc like the plague. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hill373737 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Good stuff, weekdays are a lot quieter, ramps are easier with less crowds. I fish most Mondays and Fridays, the only downside I find is I'm usually solo and sometimes when lure fishing I think its easier to figure out whats working and get onto fish with a couple of people casting different lures. Look forward to some reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 A cold beer tastes better after a hard days work and a Sunday morning fishing session is better after a week of toil IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I fish midweek 99.9% of the time & it is sooooo much better than trying to deal with Sydney ramp rage & the jet ski's & water skiers. Its a great feeling sitting back, listening to the radio, catching a few fish & knowing everyone else if fighting traffic & in a hurry to get to work ? Doing it solo is the only downside but I can deal with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
