jenno64 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Got myself organised yesterday collecting poddies and picking up some live prawns for an early bash this morning. Headed out before sun up to a cool breeze and trolled poddies in the deep water up near Yowie Bay. Salmon were busting up big time and a few other boats got stuck into them with various lures. My first fish of the day was a shovel nose ray on a live prawn! Soon after a legal flounder smashed one of the poddies. The flatty and tailor followed came on board, both on poddies. I lost a coupe of good fish on the live prawns in the deep and got a glimpse of a rat king that spat the hook. Picked my wife up around 10am for a cruise around then threw a few prawns at the boats on one of the marinas, picking up a nice bream and a small whiting. Lost what I thought was a big bream and all went quiet. Headed over to Maianbar with the last few prawns and picked up a couple of sub legal whiting. When I ran our of prawns I through a hardbody at the weed edges and was smashed by the bigger whiting. Happy with a nice mixed feed and headed in around 1pm. Beautiful day on the water and the tools in tinnies & jet skis kept to themselves. Looking forward to a nice feed af fillets later this week:) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Great post Rob. Looks like the water has cleared up nicely. Winter must be on the way, definitely getting cool overnight and first thing in the morning. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Nice bag of fish Rob. I was on the Murray river for a few days. Threw out a bait of cheese for not a bite. Now at Gundagai for a week or so, the Murrumbidgee is down a bit in level, maybe have a try over the next few days. Leave me some fish for next week. 😂 I would be cooking the prawns instead.

I bet the Murray is flowing well! Hope you get a cod or something else on your list! You can always catch yabbies:) I'm sure you'll getyour usual feed next week!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Great mixed bag Rob... Would have any of those on my plate Hacking can turn out some great fishing without the constant wash of the ferries and large cruisers as you get in Sydney harbor. Went out to Sydney harbor last week and the water started to clear up... Mr T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Squidy Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Looks like a great day there with a top feed to boot. Would love to hear how/where you gather your prawns, such good bait live. Cheers, Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkin Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Anyone know any good poddy spots. Was thinking it would be good around grays point. and any spots closer to Cronulla that people are catching them? Gunnamatta bay? Near the boat ramps possibly?

Cheers, Rich Macs bait bar sells them live - not available all the time though. 20 years ago I used to see people prawning at night on the flats next to St George sailing club in sans souci.
