Fab1 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 It’s been a long time since we’ve been out.Went to windang today and launched at around 8:30-9am.Last of the runout tide. Armed with live worms and fresh prawns we tried several spots drifting and anchored. We ended up catching 4 just legal bream (prawns) and 2 whiting (worms) in the 23-25 cm range all released as there’s no point for us keeping bream that small. As always it was a great day out on water and we had a blast in good company and great weather. We watched another 5 or 6 boats getting similar results as us. Maritime launched after us said hello and checked us and other boats on water. Cheers and hopefully it’s not too long between drinks next time for us. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to clear a few cobwebs away too. Look forward to your next report. Cheers, bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Waters still a bit cool, the only fish being caught are on live Nippers fished along the edges of the weedbeds on the runout tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we gathered that as it’s still winter.We thought we’d do worse than we did.Geez the tide races along those islands now making it pretty much impossible to fish.Those bream and whiting look like healthy specimens now.

noelm Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Yep, the tide rips out now. You can usually find a bit of a sheltered spot where the current is much slower, but anywhere near the bridge it’s just raging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed 4 just legal bream as stated.Way to small at that size.But the day was more to get the boat out for a run and enjoy the glorious day with the family mate.We did better than expected as the summer months have always been better for us when we manage a decent fish or 2 at times. cheers.

And rips in.I was debating swapping my boat for a white water raft for next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Yep, down near the entrance it is really strong. They are having some “issues” with the bridge now, the current is undermining it, they have been putting rocks around the base to try to stop it scouring out.
