Hi Raiders

I have not posted here for a few years and hope to be regular poster once again!  ( Facebook is just not the same)

Anyway, I was invite to lure fish Hen & Chicken Bay on Saturday with my old mate Bert who I actually meet on this site. Now , I live 2 minutes from H&C bay but never considered fishing it as it did not look fishy enough... how wrong was I!

Fished from 6:30pm to 8:30pm with small hard bodies and we caught a dozen or so good sized flathead and 6 or 7 bream. It was fanatics fun on the light rods and tiny lures... ecogear sx40 and Atomic doing the damage

It was amazing to see the amount of surface activity and fish holding in knee deep water!


Here is a few photos before it got dark... definitely be out there again... cant believe I waited this long to fish my backyard!

See you about raiders!

I was having a beer and lunch at Sydney Rowers today and between the Rowing Club and Abbotsford boat shed the large bream cruising between the wrecked boats were huge.

Every time the river cat pulled up they went crazy chasing either small prawns or mud skippers. To bad it’s on private property.

the guys fishing the Abbotsford ferry wharf were not getting anything.

Will keep this in mind next time I go for a flick on my boat... see if we can extract a few of these thumpers you are talking about :)

Aim between the small ramp for the rowing club and the old Sky Blue boat.
