South West rocks.

[slothparade]

Been up at South West rocks over the last few days, been extremely quiet. 1 pearl perch and 1 marawong Thursday and 14 little tailor on a sugar pen on Wednesday, was quite fun with the sugar pen watching then jump for it. 

Also had a large silver fish, guessing tailor trailing my lure before taking off, guessing it was the dolphins that popped up pretty close that scared it off. Barely anything on the wall, offshore is extremely quiet. The crabs aren't moving at all, only getting eels in the pots. Been quite disappointing on the fishing side though with the rain, there's some nice mud pits for the car.

unlucky with the quiet fishing, but you atleast caught something.

Great to get feedback @slothparade - Thanks for sharing - I’m heading up there for a week in February so hope things pickup before then. Were you land based only? Drifting along the wall is usually very productive for flathead, bream no Moses bream and often a Jewie. A really great spot to spend time and the best gelato ice cream in Australia.

Mate. That place is a gold mine when it is firing.

Keep casting & move around.

Cheers.

Yep, tried the rocks, throwing lures, fresh baits ect. Also went on a charter but litterally got nothing, the deckhand said it's been like this all year. They barely get any Jewies, no kings, mainly pearls and snapper. 

Yeah been land based as the currents are absolutely pumping and it's litterally impossible to get baits to hold bottom. 

Tried again this afternoon but nothing again, using slimies. Have seen small schools of baby bream but not bitting. Happy to provide more info over the next few days

Might be time to buy a good sized feed of prawns, and just pig out.  🤣  At least you can use the shells for burley.

I have a mate that lives there and he is a Fisho.  He told me that the River is dead and very little is being caught.  No crabs at all.
