Chillifishi Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Weather is beautiful and I find myself with an hour or two to have a fish in the evening, so I drive down to Berowra Waters to have a flick. Tide is running out, water is pretty dirty from the previous rain. I started off with a prawn vibe; after about 10 casts, I load up and end up dropping the fish. Likely a small flatty or soapie, annoyed that I've dropped it nonetheless, I remind myself to set the hook. I switch over to a 2 inch minnow on a 1/8th (2.5 inch baitjunkie cut back). In the next hour or so I get onto 4 fish: 3 tiny soapies, and the highlight which was a (potentially legal) bream, which was great fun on the light gear. More importantly, my goal has been to get more bream so this session, while short, was an awesome one! All C&R. Thanks for reading!

Little_Flatty Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Nice report @Chillifishi. Never used lures there before, should give it a shot next time I'm up that way. Have you ever tried flicking lures along the road parallel to the marina? That looks like prime territory! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebenbomb Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Great for a quick session! Just wondering, does the cutting of the 2.5 minnow allow for a sleeker/lighter profile, and does that smaller profile help when the fish are a little timid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried along the road there, and have hooked up to exactly 1 bream and 1 soapie across multiple attempts. I'm thinking I need to cast a bit closer to the structure, but my casting accuracy needs a bit of work! I've been told there are decent bream there, but yet to hook one up of a decent size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my youtube research that's the theory behind it - slightly smaller, more finesse presentation, without sacrificing any of the action on the tail. Though that bream might have taken the 2.5 inch version...we shall never know😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkesburyParadise Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Well done. Is it pitch black there or there is some light. I think you're on the boat ramp on the Berowra side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordoRetired Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 They are the smallest Jewies I have even seen. Still would have been fun of SP's. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropic Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Nice work. Something very appealing about night fishing especially as the weather warms up. Did you just hang around the jetty/moorings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
