HawkesburyParadise Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Quick flick at Apple Tree Bay today. Tide: Rising Bait: Salted White Bait Hook: Size 12 long shank Summary Quick flick to try and catch something. High tide was still many hours away but I got to see the lay of the land in ATB. Not many bites but I think I got a Yakka. It had some chompers on it. Also, is this the weed that squid hide in? Not too much but somethings better than nothing.

Little_Flatty Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hi Manish, This is a Yakka: Notice that it is darker and has the scutes on the last third of the body. They also don't have formidable teeth. I have seen squid in the Bobbin Head area. Throw out a jig and if they are there, you have a good chance of finding one.

Isaac Ct Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Good report mate, that is tailor as mentioned above and where there is structure (especially weed), usually squid will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a jig across it and find out squid are aggressive so shouldn't take long if none about Id work the whole area for 30 mins then move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishnDish Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 On a high tide size 1.8 jigs or smaller. There are plenty bait sized arrows around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginko Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The tailor will be just coming into the estuaries - the numbers and size will increase as the spring arrives. If you want to target them - cast out a 10g to 20g silver metal lure with a treble on the back... reel-in with a steady, medium-fast pace. Just keep the fingers away from those teeth. There are often estuary squid (arrow squid) in schools just at the drop-offs of the sand flats, so it's worth having a flick from the sand flat into the deeper water. Estuary squid will hand out over sand as well as weed and you can often see them if the water's clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
