Isaac Ct Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 After a few weeks not fishing the hacking was nice to be back. Headed out solo in the dark to the deep at lilli pilli. Baits were pillies, squid and live yakkas and yakka fillets. Lots of school Jewies around with a few double ups . Ended up with 9 schoolies the most I’ve got in a trip before. Only small snapper around and no other action although plenty of pilchards and yakkas around, a cormorant came over briefly and made getting baits in very hard. Managed the Mack tuna on a metal. Sun up and picked up @kobi caught a fish and trolled some Livies around for no luck. Anchored at a spot for kings for a while for no luck, lots of bonito and Mack tuna swimming around but none hooking up, just a few follows and half hits. After a while called it quits on the kings and headed to maianbar got some nippers and kobi managed the crab, smaller whiting and bream. I got the flathead on a top water. Was pretty quiet so moved to lilli pilli and picked up the big whiting (39) and also landed a bream around 33 which was released. All in all an alright day but pretty slow 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 There you go Issac, I left some fish for you. 🤣 Good sized whiting, to go with the other fish, so a nice feed on the way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenno64 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Nice mixed bag Isaac! It was a bit slow today, had to move around a fair bit to get a feed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkin Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 A few Jewies and a good feed! Waters warming right up if the Mac’s have arrived. Try trolling some small skirts if the Bonnie’s are around. The silstar Christmas tree ones work very well at around 15klm/h 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
