kantong Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 We took a family trip away up at Soldier's Point and of course the rods were packed. Scoped out the local jetty and it was fun for the kids to hook up on yakkas, small bream, snapper and I think herring (is someone able to tell from the blurry photo below? Caught lots of them) It was very windy Saturday night and Sunday morning. Threw out a live yakka under a float it got harassed but didn't get eaten. I brought the yakka in and it had bite marks on the side, suspect it was an over eager tailor. Threw out a yakka fillet under the float, it got taken down but didn't hook up. Bait used: Servo prawns, left over steak, yakkas Kids had fun and I'll come back better prepared next time. Tight lines 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothparade Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Looks like a bit of fun. In the warmer months, chuck out a whole yakka or large bait with steel wire and you will get bronzies. heapes of them around there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Nice work @kantong. We too have some kids fishing coming up this weekend, and maybe even a swoff with the fly rod, family permitting. Our youngest is raring to go, given she got her first fish a few weeks ago and recently got a new rod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebenbomb Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Great job on taking the kids out - looks like there was beautiful scenery. Was the steak effective? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kantong Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Thanks for replies everyone. Yes, it looks like a silver biddie, thanks @leonardgid. I haven't caught one of those in soooo long, I forgot what they were! @slothparade - I'll have to bring some heavy gear for those sharks! There were dolphins around in the morning too, which at first glance I thought was a shark. @Little_Flatty Congrats to your little one on catching their first fish and always have the rod ready for a flick, enjoy mate. @Bluebenbomb - steak worked just as good as the prawns for the silver biddies and yakkas.

2sheds Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Hey slothy... I swim under that jetty nearly every day. Don't you be throwing shark baits in the water and enticing them in close. Regards...2sheds 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
