Lockdown Carp and Port Mac

[sparro55]

Long time no fishing due to being a lockdown area and no real water within the 5kms - did venture the 50 metres to my local creek occasionally to drag some carp carp passed the dumped shopping trollies and air con units - 2 or 3 fish a session up to 6kg but mostly around kilo mark. Took a while to work out 4lb line not enough spot them

Bit more serious last week - a week a Port Macquarie - fished the wall Tuesday and Wednesday for poor results - 1 decent bream - most fisho's were struggling  with few bream or luderick coming in

Hit Lake Cathie Wednesday to chase whiting with poppers - 6 fish between 30 and 33 cm - lost a lot more with hooks pulling. Back up Thursday arriving a bit earlier to see tailor breaking up in the lake - scored one at a kilo and a half - fun on 4lb in 1.5 m of water. picked up a 60cm flattie and then a few more whiting before the wind came up

Sorry no pics - past experience has shown it is not a good idea to go wading with phone

Cheers

Great report.

A few feeds pulled out is better than nothing. The tailor around 3 pound on 4 pound line would have been some fun as they go hard at any time.

Great report Sparro, keep pulling those carp out. 6 Whiting on lures is a great result (and a good feed)

well done 👍 
 

Try removing the rear treble and replacing with assist hooks - like the atomic trick bits in a size 8 or 10. Should help with the pulled hooks.
