Dreaming is unhealth & bad luck...
Moving & moving... I think you moved too many... Maybe you try to be patience a bit till a school of squires running in especailly tide movement...
Working on both (bait & plastic) is a bad idea! pick one and focus...

LOL - I was out there too juju. I managed 4 squire - the biggest about 20cm. I managed to bring home 2 quite nice parrot (purple tusk fish), 2 tarwhine, 3 bream, 1 good grass sweetlip and 25 big river gar I caught close in to the island when it was obvious the snapper weren't going to arrive. It was a beautiful day on the bay and I reckon there were quite a few Ausfishers out there from the number of boats drifting past me flicking SP's - ( I was anchored and using bait only). I didn't start fishing until about 6.00a.m. so maybe I need to get out a bit earlier - then I can follow Silent to his new spot.
Cheers Freeeedom

LOL Guys! Our take home catch this morning was a 42 & a 48cm pinkies - both caught on placcies... The Whiting Head got hammered only once for a short run (& we had 2 lines out at all times with a Head). Can't even say we got hammered by a freight train! Back at Manly by 9am. Maybe it was too calm and it certainly wasn't cold at 4am (or as cold as i thought it would be...)! Should have gone to SILENT's Spot Y (don't worry ole mate, your secret is safe with me )...

Did have a bit of a scout around though and found a bit of ground that's worth a look next time so all was not lost...

Take Care T

I am heading out for spot B tomorrow. (The "B" stands for "Bugger, should have fished Spot X) Will keep an eye out for Ausfish stickers.

well at least i wasnt the only one doing it hard......i will have another go next week...an arvo/eve fish this time i think.....berley....sit and wait.......it was nice weather but.....and not cold early at all....

My mate and I went to mud today and bagged out by 7:30 am, then the alarm went off (3:00 am) it was just a dream. The truth is that we were on the water by 5:30 am went to mud and a few other places and all we got was a few under size squire. It is nothing like it was last year around this time.

[Obi _ Wan]

juju, you went the wrong way mate! I was out at daybreak this morning and managed to boat two nice snapper, 56cm & 48cm. Sorry no photo's, i will only snap fish over 65cm now.
I also bagged out last Thursday with fish 53, 51 46, 39, 38, plus a lot of small stuff, so it has been pretty good for me lately but i must admit they are hard to find, a few here and a few there so you have to chase then.

Cheers,
John.
