HawkesburyParadise Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Morning session at Bobbin Head this morning. There's a coastal warning so I hope everyone's safe particularly in Tonga. The tide was unbelievable this morning. Started at 6am and finished at 8.30am. It started a bit slow, I was targeting Bream on dough which has worked here in the past. Eventually I switched to chicken and I started getting hits left right and centre. Thawing the thigh fillet last night worked well. This was the first time I could see the fish putting the entire piece in its mouth and get hooked - A big event for me. Catch - 2 Tarwhine? 20cm each 8 inches, 1 chopper tailor. They had a red hue, originally I thought baby snappers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Sounds like a fun and productive session- great to spend a few hours fishing and have the rest of the day for family or “jobs”. If you get “squire”, “pinkies” (baby snapper), don’t keep them under 30cms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
