Isaac Ct Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 Hello everyone, haven't been out or posted for a while so decided to head out early today and fish the deep at Lilli Pilli. Lots of action with plenty of fish breaking the surface and consistent catches of tailor and snapper. I landed 2 in the low 30's and my mate got bitten off 3 times in a row unluckily. After the sun had come over the point I landed a reddie just over legal and then the smaller pinkies started chewing so decided to move. Went to a spot in SWA I hadn't fished for a while and set up a few baits. Managed a larger tailor in the mid 50's and a few other smaller things here and there. Moved further up the arm to try get some more bait as there had been so much action we had used our bag of pillies, squid and tailor fillets. No yakkas around, probably too many boats around so we decided to anchor and swim to shore and have a bit of a walk around. Not much to see except the cuts on our feet from the oysters. The water has warmed up a lot in recent weeks. Last effort we escaped the boat traffic and went up behind maianbar and threw some shallow dividing hardbodies around and managed a few small flatties and tailor. Right up near the shore in the shallow stuff I had a flattie probably high 40's follow my lure up, then of course my lure ran through the weed and got snagged spooking the fish😡. All in all a good day and feed to be had. Thanks, Isaac. 10

Green Hornet Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 Thanks Pete, is the basin firing up with the warming weather? Yes mate, it is starting to warm up and the fishing’s improving along with it. Still a bit cool in the main basin, but you know where to try when you’re down next. 1
