[yellowfin]

Went for a Surfcast and Fly fish at a local river mouth today.

Had my three surfcasters out, two baited with prawn and one with mullet. While they fished I caught a steady stream of small to medium size KY. Checked the surfcasters every hour or so but only caught a single small KY on them. Basically fished the out going and low tide, and there was a gentle onshore wind producing a chop.

Combing surfcasting and river mouth spinning/fly is a good combination I feel. Now I just need to wait until the big ones turn up

Fished Birdlings flat on saturday from 2:30 to 8:30pm, caught about a dozen tiny dogfish(grrr) 2 red cod, one keeper of a decent size and one put back, 2 school sharks 1 landed and put back and one rather big school shark which was just a big dead weight on my line so took a bit of effort to bring it in just to have it ping off the hook when beached in the surf(damn undertow!). Conditions were rough with a big swell and a massive breaker which caused a bit of havoc with the line at times and was impossible to detect bites but i use self setting recurves so just checked the line now and again. Only 3 other people fishing after around 4 and they caught nothing, so go figure.

3 of us have just come back from Amberley…and for our efforts have one small school shark to show…and caught on a manky bit of squid. Had one decent bite/pull on raw prawn and that was it. ..was going to go to Baileys but was put off by swellmap..maybe should have gone anyway.

I fished at the Pier Saturday. Caught plenty of crabs, mullet and kahawai during the day. Few good size School Sharks and a big Rig caught once it got dark. Also two good size Kahawai hooked, one during the day fell off when they were pulling it up. I didn’t seem to have much luck with the School sharks once it got dark, and only ended up getting a couple tiny ones.

[PierMaster]

might head out to birdlings tonight anyone keen? lol

my mate tala is the one that got the rig last night i think wasnt it zac?

[yellowfin]

Yeah, he got the big Kahawai just on dark, then a big school shark that rolled and snapped him off before he could gaf it, then he got another big schoolie, then the big rig.

[PierMaster]

not goin out n e where 2dae zac?

[yellowfin]

Not sure, I thought it would be a bit rough at the beaches from the Southerly yesterday. Might go out to Dorie beach later.

Here’s a picture of that Rig, not a very good picture though.

[yellowfin]

these decent sized schoolies and rig you boys are getting are you just handlining them up to the pier or are you taking them to the beach? and how are you going about gaffing them are you gaffing them from the beach or doyou hav a gaff on a rope or what? didnt end up going tp pier loast night went for a trout fish instead

[yellowfin]

gunnercoops amberley beach has not been fishing very well lately i would not hav gone this morning unkless it was from sorta 4am till high tide as i find it fishes much better on incomming tide and from about half to high tide will proberbly go there more during winter at night but moving soon to other side of town so will be more likely to go to birdlings etc
