With the winds on saturday chris and i thought we'd try around coochie and macleay for some pinkies, we fished between 11am-6pm. First fish was mine 36cms from around the boats near the coochie jetty, then quiet for a while, so we decide to move over to macleay to hide from the wind.
In the shallows we found a large bait school that was being rounded up by something, which turned out to be a couple of small sharks. We think it was one of those that bit chris off in the blink of an eye. Chris found a 33cm cod in the mix too, complete with bait in mouth matching the length of his plastic.
From Potts Point we let the current drift us south past "Iron Stem", but caught no more until just after the turn to runout. In this session we caught maybe 9 pinkies between us, mostly 35-36cm fish with a couple of just under legals plus one very nice 45cm model that chris caught. They were definately fired up, every time they just nailed the plastics and went hard. We took home 3 fish, 35, 36 and 45. Pics to follow when i get them off chris camera.
Sunday we went to pumicestone passage, on the water by 7am. Fished around the bridge for a while, then moved south to some weed banks where chris caught a 50cm dusky and I caught a just under legal dusky, both fish being released. These were our only fish for the whole day. After the tide turned to come in we fished up the entrance to ningi creek, past the oyster leases then back down again, moved down to buckleys hole, fish the drop off drifting north all the way up to white patch dodging the other merrymakers in the water. Tide turns and runs out, still no fish. Weed was everywhere, plastics having to be manicured every cast. We go home. Should have gone back to macleay.
I fished Potts Point and the green beacon to the east with my son on Sunday morning on the outgoing tide. Plenty of action and finished with two sharks, two snapper (35cm and 45cm) and an assortment of undersized squire and flathead. All fish were released. Lost a couple of bigger specimens guessed at being snapper (headshakes) and sharks (bite offs).
Used fresh mullet and squid for bait. No sign of any stingrays, shovellies or grinners! Conditions on the bay were perfect!
Nice one Peter4, will be heading back that way when weather permits. On undersize flathead: I found the head of one in the guts of one of the smaller fish we took home, large enough to make it about a 15cm flathead.
Pimp my boat,still havent had a go at the reefs around that way, pretty keen to give it a try though.
