gday to every on auschat this is tailorbite I have just joined this web site as a mad keen fisho like you all are fishing mainly from the surf&rocks,chasing anything from thumper whiting to monster croakers ,heading up to kingfisher resort august-september.apart from from fishing the surf wilstup there was thinking of perhaps droping a line of the jetty at night with a livey .any suggestions on what tide, moon, rigs-suspend under a float, hold on the bottom or just swim around . cheers thanks for your input tailorbite
I've fished there two times and its been allright. Livies are quite hard to get there unless you have a cast net. There are greenback herring in good numbers and hardyheads however I have found these to yield only average results. Lure casting (small-medium metals) on the other hand has produced the goods, namely g.ts and watsons leaping bonito. When I was there two years ago some big spaniards moved into the shallows on high tide so I guess they are a possibility. Some other anglers have had more success with the mackerel (broad bars) by jigging around the pylons at first light and sending out live slimy mackerel. The best way was simply to let the bait drift (no float or sinker). I have also heard that fly fishing and using prawn style lures at night can be successful with queenies, g.ts and even barra.
thanks for your suggestions bad-bubby I will give these techniques a go and let you know if they produced the goods as i have not done this style of fishing befor cause i stick to beach fishing that is what i know cheers
My brother worked at the resort for 7 months in 2002. Morning and evenings were the most productive times - but they caught just about everything!
Mackeral, Tuna, Kingfish, Queenfish, Trevally, Cobia, tailor, squire, bream, sweetlip, catfish, cod, grinners and heaps of sharks. He's pretty lazy so he used unweighted whole pillies on ganged hooks.
Live baiting yakkas or slimeys under a balloon with the afternoon SE sea breeze could really be the way to go here.
thanks for your input tailorbite
