Yowie Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Headed out early to the deeper water off Lilli Pilli early this morning. Only fish there was the trevally and the small crab. Hoping for more crabs, though is a bit early just yet. Bait stealing reddies also about, then just before sunrise they suddenly disappeared. Nothing at all. I pumped a few nippers and had a drift over the Lilli Pilli flats, and found some fish over the worm beds, so stayed there for a while. Not big bream and whiting, with a few throw backs, but happy with the whiting. Have not eaten any whiting for a while. The fish were scattered, and during the mid run up tide, the drift was rather fast. Picked up the flattie further down river then headed home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 While I was cleaning the fish at mum's place, I threw out a chunk of fish and pulled out this bream. No doubt attracted to the fish skeletons I threw in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welster Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Another top feed of fish. So often you catch another one when cleaning the fish at your mums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do catch a few fish around there in Gunnamatta Bay. The biggest this year was about 42cm. My mate lives in North West Arm and there are some big bream there most of the year. Just need to keep burley going in - fish skeletons help this. Many years ago, the old fishos would buy a skinned rabbit from the butchers, cost about 2 shillings for the old farts who know those days, now in the many dollars if you can find one. Wrap the rabbit in chicken wire, tie it to the wharf/shoreline with rope and the bream would turn up in big numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why mum keeps kicking along, plenty of fish for her. (she is heading towards 90 in a while) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried a spot I had not fished for a while, and found the fish were in water about a metre deep, scattered over the bank. Bream hit the first nipper only a couple of seconds after casting out.
