noelm Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Some of those species are better in winter, some slow down a bit, but they don't just "go away" you just have to work harder to get a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belligero Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Jewies are definitely around in winter, Bream and flatties are about but harder to snag. I'd say their metabolism slows down when the water temp goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Crabs-a lot less than summer, Yakkas-harder to find, jewies-in different places to summer but yep,flatties May and June can be a bit tricky but towards spring dusky fishing is excellent, squid -awesome time of year for the big southern cals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyShark Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Hi! We're still pulling up plenty of blue swimmers in Port Stephens. Caught one of the biggest ones I've seen this week, along with 4 other decent crabs in one crab pot... could barely fit in the cooking pot! Good luck 😊 Edited May 9, 2020 by BabySharkDooDoo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyShark Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 @kingie chaser he likes crab, especially when you can make a claw talk when you pull the tendon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
