Yowie Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Headed out early this morning near Lilli Pilli. Knew the weather would be no good this week. Pulled the jew early, 11 pound mono, and he took a lot of line on the first run. A quick photo, a bit blurry in the early morning light, then released. The reddies were not too big, but once nice pannie in amongst them. The tailor took the last bait I threw out, ganged hooks in it's throat and gills and would not have released O.K., so kept it. Also released a salmon about the size of the tailor. Pillies, squid strips and salted fish strips for bait - could not catch any yakkas, not even a bite on the bait line. The wind picked up a bit after a couple of hours of fishing, and turned to the south so headed home. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fishing is not normally this good so early in spring. May be not too many fishos out, but over the weekend the Hacking was jam packed with every type and size of boat you could buy.

Was not too breezy earlier on, anchored up when the first light appeared on the horizon. While jewies are not too bad on the plate, the reddies are much better.

Thank you. It was as busy as Pitt Street on the water, and the beach was packed as well. I had an early swim on Sunday morning at Wanda, not too many waves, and the water is still cool.

Don't know the water temp, don't have a gauge or depth sounder or any fancy gear, but I would rate it in the old terms - ball shriveling cold. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d state that is a very accurate temp measurement…. for males. Probably better than my transducer. cheers Zoran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
