Pickles Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hit Lower Portland area again on Tuesday with a buddy and able to snare a kg of live prawns at the mouth of the Colo. The tide and moon were perfect (low tide .6 and Hightide 1.1) the Hawkesbury usually fires with small tidal difference. We caught 15 small Jewies, the largest just under legal😞 and 7keeper duskies and a bag of small bream 28-34, but none of bream (or Jewies kept of course). It rained all day (but you don’t melt in the rain and the fish are already wet, so didn’t put us off). Out again on Friday with Raider “Hugh” and his young son, hopefully chasing Kingies in the harbour for the first time since lockdown. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restyle Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 great haul and bag of flatties. Small jew fight well on light gear, great fun. Bonus of fishing in the rain is the lack of boats and jet skis out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmk1962 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Well done Bob. You have that section of the river well and truly sussed. Top job. cheers Zoran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 The prawns are running now - fresh coming out of the colo into the Hawkesbury and fairly shallow and with smaller tides and no moon they are around in numbers - and a good size. I’ve been able to keep 40-50 alive in the live bait tank for a full session (6-8 hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordoRetired Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 You must be glad that the lockdowns are over and you can get back to your usual haunts to wet a line. Sounds like a good day was had. Well done 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo_jono Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hey Pickles! Good to see your out mate, I should be back up that end of the river soon enough. Was wondering how you get your prawns? Just a normal prawning net? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
