warm water currents bringing fish further south this summer
-
in my younger days circa early1980's caught snapper from that very spot in photo as well as witnessed snapper up to 6kg on salted tuna and kingies up to 15kg on live yellowtail. Those days with a decent 4WD you could drive most of the way in. Use to stay at the Currarong Caravan Park and fished there in our fishing club events as well as ANSA Tournaments. Go Mascot Anglers... Jim

TV news had video of him with the groper. Evidence is not a problem. Whether authorities follow up is !!!

you would think the photos taken would be sufficient evidence??

along the beach near lake outlet would have to be worth a go as well Jim

I recall that in the past when we had prolonged warm water off NSW coast during summer/autumn we also had more severe weather events like "east coast lows" Jim

aded my 5 cents worth -
Have caught surgeons off the rocks around Little Bay using the brown moss like weed which is usually scrapped in with our cleats when fishing for Luderick. Jim

A lot to be said by having a look out of the window- in all directions ( as well as a glance upwards just in case) Jim

Those metres of colourfully packed devices are more for luring fishers rather than fishes Jim

Little Bay Beach is good and protected and almost fishable in any wind other than a straight easterly. Always get bream from the beach when it's a big swell outside and blackfish in the "rockpool" on the southern side. Jim

I still have my self built (circa 1975) and use a Butterworth MT 4144 for blackfish/general light estuary fishing. Nice long and light rod and well balanced when using an Alvey sidecast blackfish reel. Used this reel so didn't have to cart around a second reel for bream etc off the rocks. Jim

Going to Lake Illawarra for the 1st time with a mate plus boat. What to expect this time of year and and general info on spots will be appreciated. Depending on the weather/wind when we go may govern which ramp we use- any ramps better or not so good to use? All thoughts welcome Jim

Kingfish live bait presentation with yakka and technique
JimT replied to faker's topic in Saltwater Fishing Chat
big kiungies love live trevally.... lots of memories at "The Tubes" Jervis Bay in the late 1970's and early 1980's. We club juniors would have lots of fun catching blurters up to around 1-2 kgs then the seniors would put them (the blurters) under a balloon and then waited and hold on!!!! Big kingies, tuna, sharks and also saw a marlin landed there too. Jim -
All I know is that when you were at the fish market outside eating area along the water there were LOTS and LOTS of really nice sized Bream on tap when the occasional chip or three went into the drink..........

for efficiency/free power use MPPT DC/DC Charger with solar input depending on how fancy and space you have you could also have panel on boat so that battery/ies are topped up when out and not motoring along- would run 12V fridge/freezer as well. 2ndly have trailer connected to vehicle electrics while towing, choices/choices Jim
