Yon Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 The kids wanted Fish N Chips for dinner last night and I’ve been told to take a few hours a week off work, so I’ve been heading off to the rocks along the Waverley coastline to chase Luderick and Squid the past few evenings. Usually the Luderick are pretty reliable everywhere between Bondi and Bronte... But... after about 5 hours trying in the past two days I’ve only managed to catch 2 Luderick and absolutely no squid. I’ve hit all my usual spots and not even gotten a bite at most of them. Been awfully quiet the last few days.... Luckily the two that I did catch were fatties and fed the kids. I ate salad 🥗... Hoping it picks up soon. On a side note, I watched two guys in waders get knocked over by a big wave and almost get dragged in. Waders + no PFD is a life threatening mistake, like wearing concrete shoes! I spoke to them about it after checking that they were ok, but there was a bit of a language barrier so I’m not sure the message got through. Wear those PFD’s Raiders... They will literally save your life. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

61 crusher Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Good effort on persisting, last year the squid were easy to come by, for some reason this year has been a bit hit & miss off the rocks, might be to do with the swells knocking around there breeding ground as well as a lack of bait (garfish among others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yon Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Yeah agree - last year squid was no problem to come by. Now I can’t get them in the harbour or off the rocks. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaxland Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 In my best spots sometimes come up empty. Good on you for trying to educate the novice True never wear waders anywhere near surf rocks included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Good report Yon, a pain about the Luderick not coming out to play. it’s great your kids like fish (a good excuse to go hunting and gathering for the mob). Good on you for spreading the word about need to wear a life jacket on the stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yon Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Oh yeah my kids LOVE fish and they love catching them even more. My daughters have been giving me a hard time about how long it’s been since I’ve caught a kingfish. Between them they will eat an entire fillet as sashimi. Unfortunately I don’t have a boat to chase them around in and it’s been super quiet on the rocks for me lately, so I’ll just have to keep trying 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
