Blade Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hi Raiders, I was thinking of getting out for a fish in bate Bay this weekend and next week (have leave booked) Understanding that Hacking will be mess with the rain is it worth giving it a go or am I better off postponing my leave to the following week? Advice appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazatherfisherman Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Postpone your leave if you were going boat fishing. Pickles said in another post earlier that there's heaps of floating debris in the water, will be for at least a week or so after this event is over- too dangerous for boating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restyle Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 although the hacking don't get near as much logs and other crap floating around in the system like the Georges, Hawksbury, it wouldn't be worth the risk. Especially with the amount of rainfall we have had. the fishing would of quietened up abit as well with the systems flushing out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campr Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I imagine that ph will be a wright off for a week or so after the rain stops. I'm busting to get out in Bate bay to get the fam a feed of flatties even though I don't prefer that kind of fishing but I haven't been out for ages and getting a bit desperate. Before the rain there were plenty of flatties out there though you had to throw a lot of little ones back, as well as there being a few dollies on the fads. Hell, I would even be happy stocking up on slimies for jew bait if they are still out there. Unfortunately I think it will take a long time for the sqid to make a comeback. Good luck.

Blade Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 I am not looking to fish the hacking. I would launch probably at Wallys Wharf and head straight out (slowly of course just in case) I would then fish the back of the bommie out to about 100m of water. I was thinking it would be okay out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the ocean condition, the debris and also there is likely to be almost anything floating around. Very hard to see any floating hazards with the discoloured water at "fisherman's hour" pre dawn. Jibbon would be breaking big time for a while yet.

hucho hucho Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Postpone it couple of days or be very careful. Best to go just during daylight. It can be anything submerged under the water. I took this picture today at Berowra Waters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Blade, give it a go. Very murky up river. Run-up tide would be better in Bate Bay. Run-out tide may have a few fish waiting near the entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
