anthman Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Hello all went out yesterday, sprinkle of rain now and again, great conditions out past the heads otherwise (next to no wind and very calm swell - lived up to the forecast of 3.6knts (7.6kn avg) and 0.9m swell w/ 9sec period). Was rocketing out there 😈 Did a few drifts at a spot near coogee (thanks @GoingFishing) and managed a few snapper, couple of pigfish, a nice flattie - catch of the day was one of the snapper coming in at 50cm (pb so far). Also, we got a couple of nannygai but threw back cause we were unsure of the legal size in Sydney (didn't come up on DPI) - they seemed pretty small, maybe ~15-20cm. Any ideas? These look to be also called bright redfish if my googling skills are reliable! Edited July 11, 2020 by anthman 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoingFishing Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Awesome stuff that sounds like a nice mixed bag of quality eating fish. Well done, glad to hear the coogee marks produced the goods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1100S Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 So fish like that do exist around the bay area...was thinking all those youtube videos are fake haha I tried out a few spots at cape banks, kurnell....only thing i did was spool myself. I threw the soft plastic out and had bail open and the forgot about it and drove to next spot, crab the rod to cast ....pretty hard when no line on it lol That was the extent of my day. Also i got a few of those wrasse type fish at some of the spots i tried...so does that mean i may have been over rocks etc amd u dont find those fish on sand flats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Nelson Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I don't think nannygai have a size limit in NSW, but don't quote me on that. Any fish not on the dpi list have a bag of 20 unless there classed as bait fish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember years back I was on a charter, in the same area intact, other customers caught a few nannygai and were advised they could keep them, i didn't get a good look so was unsure of min size. I'll keep some next time! Not sure of a recipe for such a small fish though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are possibly my favourite fish for Thai fish cakes. 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
