i fished shorncliffe/sandgate jetty and manly harbour these days but no fish on lure yet.
there seems to be thousands of thousands of mullet in manly from 3cm up to 30cm but i can hardly find any predators.
shonliffe/sandgate jetty is where i got several toad fish using hardbodies
i do not own a car so i am afraid i can only treval by train and do some landbased fishing. so i wonder if i am doing something wrong cuz i heard there are flattie in shorncliffe/sandgate and some pike in manly...
try diferent lures methods and be speices spacific
i dont know the area talk to your local tackle shop
ive been trying sp and have found that you need to target a certain fish
if the water is reasonably deep a lure that is near the surface is no good for flaties but good for talior try a lure that will bounce off the bottom and if flaties are there youll find them
keep tryinig allthe best
thanks, sunny!
but what about going further into the creek?
and when i works the rock wall area, should i fish the shallower water or go as far as i can into the deep water?
and what species? flathead?
The best advice I can give is, if you are chasing any demersal species like flathead or bream etc then the very slow, twitchy retrieve is generally the way to go. Target pelagics & a faster retrieve usualy produces results.
The lure should be a deep diver which will go down to where the fish are which is on the bottom in the case of flathead & close to the bottom with most other demersal species. Pelagics require the lure worked in the upper portion of the water column.
Pink on a lure for flathead has a good reputation but I have caught flaties & fish of all types on many different colours. I personally believe that if a lure has a good action & is well presented in the fish's awareness/strike zone, you have a very good chance of a strike. The rule of thumb on colour "bright day - bright colour" "dark day dark colour" usually works ok with the exception of the black & purple combo which I have found to work well in any conditions.
As far as lure size goes, I recommend a 70mm hard body is the way to go as it is big enough for big fish to be interested in but not too big for the smaller fish.
My Hinchinbrook Hunters have been very successful down your way Kevin. If interested, have a look at my website (see profile) for more info.
thanks, i think i am doing exactly what u told me to.
i worked a duel 75mm deep diving lure in blue and orange, owner 60mm minnows in orange, in red head color and in flashing gold color right down the bottom
i wind the handle like 1/2-1 rounds per second (a 22inch per turn baitcaster) or even slower with lots of twitchs
so what i really worried about is the tide and time that i am fishing....and the place. thanks
go the squidgy fish in garry glitter (75mm) and a 3g-5g jig head. its a killa on flattys and i have pinned bream on them too, just on a lighter jig head, but the squidgy 55mm wrigglers in blood worm are the gun for bream. Good HARDbodys 4 bream are baby rmg's, the pink micro mullets and rebel crawdads. good hardbodys 4 flattys are c lures jack snacks , mann's strech +10 and most lipless crank baits will work, i got a nice 52cm flatty the other day on a jackall tn50 just hopping it on the bottom of the sand
the mirco minnnows work really well around that area for bream i always get nailed useing them. one day in the space of an hour i had 9 bream over 30cm just from fishing near the marina. soft plastics are the way to go for flathead at shorncliffe or bait. but find a stonewall or rocky formation or even the marina and use some micro mins at hign tide and you should get bream aswell as the odd cod.
