Port Hacking again


Yowie

Recommended Posts

Headed out this morning to Maianbar flats and pumped some nippers.

Drifted along the main channel flats on the run-up, but nothing doing. Headed to Lilli Pilli flats and drifted for a couple of whiting and the bream. Also a couple of throwbacks.

Moved back to Maianbar flats for the 3rd whiting, but nothing else. As I was passing by the ballast heap, salmon erupted into a bait school. Many casts with a metal lure produced 1 salmon about 45cm, released, and another dropped boatside.

Tried a secret spot for a couple of undersized flatties and little tarwhine, so headed home after that.

Nice feed ! Hey Yowie do you ever fish at night for whiting in the port ? I have a hankering for a run up tide night time  whiting fish using nippers - was thinking of Swansea but port hacking is way closer !

Nice Whiting, one of my favourite fish to catch and eat. XD….I fish for Whiting a bit just on/after dark in Shellharbour Harbour and on the flat near my place, they love Nippers in the dark, maybe Nippers come out at night?

You always get a feed

 

If I don't get a feed, I won't be posting anything. :074: That rarely happens though. 👍

Good feed there Yowie, considering it was a tough session.   bn

Just had some whiting fillets crumbed and pan fried, washed down with a glass or 3 of riesling. :wine:

Thank you. I have pulled out whiting, bream at night using nippers, though most of my fishing is early morning into daytime these days.

One of my favourites also.

I have pulled out jewies in the Hacking in the early morning at times, with a belly full of fresh nippers. Don't know if they are sucking them out of the sand, or what goes on after dark.

Top feed of whiting mate!

Was there much boat traffic out there today?


I’m heading out for a fish tomorrow. There’s a warm current out wide coming down through Sydney at the moment.

They tasted very nice tonight.

Not a lot of boat traffic about, noticed some boats were moving about after short times at a fishing spot.

Good luck tomorrow. About time the ocean started to throw up a warmer current.
