anthman Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hey guys, I'm looking to go for a fish this Saturday after a bout of a cold and (much needed) rain over the weekend that just passed. Fingers crossed the weather changes to allow for a run past the heads into long reef, but failing that, how is the harbour fishing these days (middle head through to the harbour bridge). Any Intel would be useful. Current plan, if I need to stay in the heads, is to use small metals (~5g) and small 2" / 3" minnows to match a baitfish profile. Chucking these at bustups (currently thinking about the harbour bridge but is a pain given the restrictions in the channel). Thanks FR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are busting up and you put a cast through a school and don't hookup change the speed change the depth and then change the lure. The kings did not even take live yakka and live prawns thrown right into the bust ups. Not saying that wont work next time but it shows you need to change your options until you find whats working.

kingie chaser Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I think you only have to look at some recent post from say Pickles & some others to get a bit of 'intel' on kings within the harbour. Have heard Watsons bay has been good for John Dory previously. Pigs & sows seems to come up a lot as well. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthman Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks guys, will look into their reports. Any thoughts on long reef (assuming my fishing prayers are heard by the fishing gods). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
