Drunkenfisho Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Hey guys, this winter I'm looking to get into drummer fishing a bit more, and was wondering for some spots around Wollongong, I've got a decent spot for weed and cunji but now just need to find the drummer. I have got a few drummer spots but there a little to far to drive to for an arvo's fishing Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Drummer can be caught almost anywhere, but as a rule, harder to get to spots fish better (naturally) peeled Royal Red Prawns, bread and Cungi tend to be the best bait, about a number 1 hook and a tiny sinker, or better still no sinker at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campr Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 If you have a spot for weed and cunji you probably have a drummer spot if its fishable. Burly with heaps of bread and give it a go. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazatherfisherman Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Chicken layer pellets for burley along with the bread will bring any Drummer around and get them interested. There is also a burley powder called prawn powder which is great to add to your burley mixture. Anywhere there is cunje there will be Drummer including close inside estuary mouths. I put up a post of 'Fishing at Burning Palms' that goes into a bit of detail about Drummer but the Palms might be a bit far for you to go 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkenfisho Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 Thanks everyone, the cunji spot is actually below a jetty, and only seems to hold smaller drummer, I have nailed a few in the past, and have seen many a pig whilst snorkelling, but everywhere I snorkell is usually impractical for fishing😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate and I have freezers full of royal reds for our next session! Now just need to get out there and explore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Royal Reds are my go to bait, because lots of other species eat them, Bream, Blackfish, Trevally, all sorts of by catch are on offer. Cungi is good, because you can get it right where you fish (observe restrictions and methods) bread is convenient and works a treat too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD351 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 You may find fishos little wary of giving out suggestions for rock fishing spots because we have no way of gauging your experience in fishing from the rocks . If you have zero experience I would recommend you go with a guide or at least someone who has a decent amount of experience - maybe from a fishing club or the like . There is one spot down there that I will beg you to avoid -hill 60 as it has claimed a lot of lives recently and NO fish is worth dying for . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey mate, I've got a far bit of rock fishing experience, mainly for bonnies and sambos in summer and autumn though not particularly for drummer. Can gladly say I've never had any troubles, but agree %100 with what you said about hill 60. I avoid large exposed rock platforms like hill 60 for fishing for obvious reasons, and if I ever do fish there I observe the swell and wear a life jacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Pretty hard to beat a good sized Drummer on the plate, filleted, skinned and just rolled in flour....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
