Centrepin Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 The fishing is patchy but worthwhile. Some days you need to try a few spots and only 1 or 2 or 0 in each spot. Some days you can get 4 or 5 in some spots. Each day the fish are different. Some days they will bite readily and you get good downs. Yesterday they were again very picky. They would just hold the float and you were sure it was the bottom then you check and it is a fish. Some days they love strand weed and won't touch cabbage. Other days they demolish cabbage. No sign of the silver sea run fish. Locals tell me last year they were not spotted till August, then it was the best season ever. Then there are some huge fish. I often get busted on 8lb leader and just can’t stop them before the pylons. The best we have gotten out is 41cm and I suspect the hoodlums are much bigger. If only the weather would give us a break we could maybe develop a more consistent pattern. Tight Tippets, Geoff 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 That’s one thing about luderick Geoff, when you think you’ve worked them out, they always seem to throw you a curve ball. They look like nice, healthy fish and a good “bag” in the top pic. Nice catch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Nice bag of fish. They sometimes grab a nipper while I am drifting for whiting, then off they go at a rate of knots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 A decent account of what Luderick fishing seems to be like Geoff, especially at this time of year. One of the reasons it is so captivating, I suppose. Do you find that using the 8lb leader reduces the number of bites? A good read and some quality pictures. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the water has some colour, like it does at the moment, I don't think so. I use fluorocarbon leader. I start with 6lb and when I get break offs I go to 8lb. There are some spots I only use 10lb and get smoked regularly, but it always has colour. Always 8lb off the rocks, then you can lift fish. You can't lift with 6lb. Thanks for your interest.
