Thanks Pete, was down last week and caught a few flatties around you spots one day then nothing for the next few. Hit and miss days Thanks Larkin, appreciate the tip. If you have any other ideas I would love if you could shoot me a PM.

Thanks Yowie, was about 24 degrees by 830 so not worth sticking around with the water skiers. Have had some intel that their has been some whiting swimming around as well

Headed out early today towards the deep at Lilli Pilli. Anchored up in the dark and set out a live yakka caught at Gymea Baths yesterday. Also managed a few squid there yesterday as well so set some strips out as bait as well as some pillies. Didn't take long before I landed a small jew, ended up pulling out 3 around 40-50cm and one being a PB at 60cm. Suprised when the jew came up on the pillie given we had a small yakka and squid out. Lots of action and a few just legal reddies then a 34cm one which was kept. A few lives got taken by what was either tailor or picked of by other miscreants. Missed one good hit which may have been another Jew then finally a solid hit on the live which produced a nice 62cm flattie, first one I've caught in the deep at Lilli Pilli. Trolled some squid around the drop-offs in hope of a king but no luck. Moved up SWA for a bit for one tailor which was kept for future bait. All in all a very good day out with a fish for the table, aiming to catch a legal king or jew before the year is over hopefully. The water has also warmed up substantially and is quite pleasant. Sorry no photo today

Cool to see that species of flathead, never knew it existed. Always a bit of a lucky dip when you fish in deep water.

Good catch mate, nice few feeds there.

Well done Yowie, nice feed to get back into the swing of things

Nice stuff Albert, good photos. Hope everyone is alright after the minor incident.

Nice stuff Larkin, another good bag. Interesting that squid are out still, will have to have another crack at them.

Great stuff mate, nice bag of fish. Good to see that previous post and its ideas kicking into place.

What a trip, well done on the PB.

Well done mate, cool to catch a tagged fish, definitely something I want to do one day.

Of course it counts, well done.

Good sense to that, hopefully, you can put a few of these to the test this summer. Certainly let us know if the plans and ideas pay off. I think I will apply this to other waterways and it may also pay off. Lots of helps and an interesting read. Cheers.

Thanks Yowie, if you get out you should have a bit of luck. Lots of fish around the last few weeks. Thanks Larkin, lots of big gamefishing boats heading out when I went out. Thanks Pete, is the basin firing up with the warming weather?

Thanks Mike, it got very hot today. Already feels like the middle of summer.

Hello everyone, haven't been out or posted for a while so decided to head out early today and fish the deep at Lilli Pilli. Lots of action with plenty of fish breaking the surface and consistent catches of tailor and snapper. I landed 2 in the low 30's and my mate got bitten off 3 times in a row unluckily. After the sun had come over the point I landed a reddie just over legal and then the smaller pinkies started chewing so decided to move. Went to a spot in SWA I hadn't fished for a while and set up a few baits. Managed a larger tailor in the mid 50's and a few other smaller things here and there. Moved further up the arm to try get some more bait as there had been so much action we had used our bag of pillies, squid and tailor fillets. No yakkas around, probably too many boats around so we decided to anchor and swim to shore and have a bit of a walk around. Not much to see except the cuts on our feet from the oysters. The water has warmed up a lot in recent weeks. Last effort we escaped the boat traffic and went up behind maianbar and threw some shallow dividing hardbodies around and managed a few small flatties and tailor. Right up near the shore in the shallow stuff I had a flattie probably high 40's follow my lure up, then of course my lure ran through the weed and got snagged spooking the fish😡. All in all a good day and feed to be had. Thanks, Isaac.

Great stuff mate, day to remember for a long time. Well done.

Nice job Larkin, good feed to be had. Well done.

Good mixed bag, nice feed there. Well done.

Thanks for sharing, great photos of the backburing. Well done on the PB.

Good stuff Mike, always good to have a plan A,b, c and more. Good to get out in the end. Well done.

Great stuff mate, well done. Quality fish in that bag.

Looks delicious mate, if you don't mind posting how you cook the trags? You have mentioned you batter them like fish and chips,, keen to see exactly how you do it.

Yessss, what a fish. Great to see you get one finally. Well done. Good feed to be had.

Well done Mike, nice to see a flattie. Hopefully more to come soon.
