wazatherfisherman Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hi Donna they have been around for quite some time- there were a few reports on here from memory, plus the usual social media reports. The last few years we have caught them from the shoreline at both Illawong Bay and Akuna Bay, the best month for shore fishing was February in both 2022 and 2023. I haven't been able to go yet this year, however, they have been catching them at Newcastle in better numbers the last couple of weeks. Maybe many fishers are keeping quiet this year? The majority of reports of captures have been from around Flint and Steel near the entrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Thanks for the response waza. There were no hairtail tonight. Not many boats out at all at Hawkesbury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaitDropper Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Have to admit here, I had to Google Hairtail. Thought there must be another name or the likes, but Nope.. Never caught or seen one... Learn something every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsswordfisherman Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 @BaitDropper take a look in our old Socials area. We used to have legendary Hairtail socials up at the Hawkesbury. I miss those times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss those times. Nothing stopping anyone from organizing another hairtail week end. Me and a group hired a houseboat for 11 years straight , best times of my life. Nothing I like better than getting away with a group of smelly old fisho's Frank 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazatherfisherman Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 We did 27yrs of 'annual Hairtail trips'- had a few years that we didn't get any over the 5 days, but like Frank says, they were great times if you love fishing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
