hookerbruce Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Went out in Port Hacking this morning looking for a few fish for a feed. I found the fishing a bit slow but over a couple of hours managed a feed from the deeper water. Surprising how hard the little reddies go on little 2 kg outfits. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gordon I was surprised how many of them were around and not to many bait pinching babies in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonardgid Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 i am always amazed when i see legal snapper in the bays and harbours something very rare in past because of over fishing , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baits were IQF pillies pieces and whole, squid strips from a squid I caught a previous trip fresh enough you could eat it, and a few old slimies that had been laying loose in the freezer for a couple of months. 1 on the pillies the rest on fillets off the old slimies. Why do we bother with good bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old stinky bait is sometimes better than fresh stuff, but if it was me, I would be going for the fresh stuff. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkin Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Nice catch mate 👍 I was out there too on Friday - all the pinkies I was catching were 25cm plus that day. One after the next. Like you mentioned - none of those pesky babies around in that area. all of mine were between 25-29cm, just couldn’t get one over the 30. Must of brought up at least 10 in that size range. Managed a 44cm Trev though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunastrike11 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The size limit for reds should be increased no words for that catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate & I fished the hacking once & between the 2 of us we caught 150 squire in 4 hours & we did not bring a fish home!! Biggest was about 26cm. There are millions of them in there!!! Taking just legal fish wont hurt overall fish numbers, that's what the size & bag limits are for. If the DPI were to find that the size limit should be increased as they have done with other species then so be it. Until them 30cm is 30cm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
