hookerbruce Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Fished the sand flats in the macleay yesterdays afterwards for me I did really well on whiting. Nothing compared to the snapper at Port Stephens. Fished from the shore as only a short trip and couldn't be bothered launching the boat.. Fished unweighted nippers on 1 and 2 kg outfits for about 3hrs near the bottom of the tide. Never caught so many whiting over 35cm in a single outing. . Going to give them another try tomorrow 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookerbruce Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Went back this morning tide was slack then started to come in. The fish were not the same as Thursday with a good run out off the flats. Give them another try when I can have a falling tide. Today's fish, also released a mid 50s flathead and a dozen under size fish. The flathead I kept was a lightweight 62cm the maximum size I would keep. All the fish will be eaten Sunday at large family get together. Thanks for the coments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some flats near Kinchella that you can access off the shore could be worth a try if you’ve got any nippers left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakelad Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Great shore based session! Do you put the hook through the tail or head of the nipper and what size hook did you use? Also, can any fellow raiders around Lake Macquarie PM me some places to pump a few nippers?! I imagine Swansea way might have some good spots?

I imagine Swansea way might have some good spots? I use a longer shank no. 2 bait holder hook . Put hook into the tail and bring it out just before the head so the body lays straight along the hook. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
