First summer catches!

[Gengar]

Finally managed to kick off summer fishing.

Went Sydney harbour fishing during lunch time today armed with some plastics and metal jigs and looking for some pelagic action like kingfish or salmon. Unfortunately didn't manage to find any pelagics but did bag a nice trev (at 46cm which is the biggest one I have caught) and a large flathead (50 cm). I do like the unpredictable nature of what you are able to catch. I also use a small backpack now which allows me to move around to cover more grounds.

Both were caught on a 10g metal jig though surprised the flathead was interested in it as well. These small metal jigs are probably my favourite way of fishing during summer as they are so versatile and they cast so far.

Hopefully the next report will be some pelagic actions!

Cheers

Great report @Gengar, I’ve got to agree about the small metals, and that’s a nice flattie you bagged.

Interestingly, I was out on Saturday and small metals were accounting for salmon and tailor in the harbour.
