longy509 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Hi just a quick report we went up the port last week.We done two trips to Broughton but had trouble catching live baits the few that we got were demolished by a couple of sharks im assuming so i trolled a few lures around and landed a couple of little kings other then that we got a few flatties. So day 3 we decided to head south and had a crack of Birubi i flicked a few plastics around and my wife fished some squid and prawns on a dropper rig she landed a few baby snapper and a couple of flatties again. After a couple hours we decide to troll the coast line back hooking up and landing half a dozen or so Bonnies.Then on the last morning we decided to put the boat in one last time for a couple of hours and drift around the bay for a feed of flathead we didnt get any but i was pretty happy when i hooked up this nice snapper out in front of Corlette in 8m of water on a piece of squid he measured up at 69cm.We also had a crack at catching some squid around shoalbay and jimmys beach but couldnt get any takers only a few followers i think our jigs might have been a bit big. Overall reasonably quiet week on the fish but still beats working. Edited February 6, 2020 by longy509 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 That's a cracking snapper for inside the bay. Well done 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Great work longy!!! I think that snapper was lost from Broughton! 🤣🤣 Although, I have heard of plenty of good ones caught in the bay during winter, not in summer! Glad you had a good time up here! cheers scratchie!!!

I’m thinking near the sanctuary zone where the racks are off Corlette. Seen an 8kg red come from there 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
