Guest Guest123456789 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Put in at first light this morning. I made a pact with myself: no bait, I have to catch it. so of course the yakkas weren’t taking the sabiki. In desperation I broke out the squid jig - managed to find a spot and collect 4. Traded one for two yakkas with @kiwicraig then went out to west reef and got thrashed about and caught countless undersized snapper, flathead and spikies. Kept one flathead. Tried on the way back at rip bridge for zeros. Thanks for reading. Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Could be the worst case scenario. Nothing in the esky at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 At least you got out Luke. Reef fishing for anything decent is always tough on a full Moon period. Beats sitting at home! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem to be stopping you catching big red brutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem to be stopping you catching big red brutes That’s because most fish feed at night time during the full moon period and the currents can be all over the place. I often think I just get lucky during these periods but I stick to my motto of “just keep casting”. Some of those good reds can be one in 200 casts! Then other days you get the right conditions and I can land 3 in a row! But you’ll never find out sitting at home and wondering if the fish are biting! The key is to look for bait and structure! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
