I was sitting off Jibbon Pt this morning around 7-8am with bait fish jumping everywhere and a small (1.5m) black tip shark carving them up while i cast into the middle without a bite !! I'm still pretty new at this and wondering what sort of rig I should be running and what size hooks ? Should I use plastics or just bait up a some squid or prawns ?? The gear I'm running is just 2 basic Shakespeare and Shimmano rods with Sienna reels and a handline with some shiny lures trailing behind. I'm open to any suggestions on gear and baits to use !! - Any excuse to hit to local tackle shop !!! (My wife is shaking her head already !!!) thank you -

Thank you. It’s a steep learning curve after fishing from the Fisheries Wharf at Gunamatta - 40 years ago 😝

I headed out off Jibbon Point and further north this morning around 9. Nothing. Headed further North but same same. Came back toward Shark Island and around to Salmon Hall. Nothing. Im a new mug at fishing after a 40 year break 🤒 What gear is everyone running around Bate Bay and into Port Hacking ? What bait etc ? I don’t care what I catch at this stage as long as it looks like a fish 😂 Still learning rig the rods and just get organised. Trying lures and some baited hooks also. Ahhhh the serenity. Running around in a 4.75 Trex with blue lid that does the job. 👍 Any advice welcome.
