Gday raiders,
hope you are enjoying the long weekend. I am staying at Callala Bay and was hoping for some fishing charity. I’m trying to get some fresh fish for mum’s birthday dinner tomorrow. Any advice for a land based lure chucker?
thanks,
paul
Hi DanRob,
Have a read of Ken's article on salting bait - I'd keep it as bait if I were you. I catch my own (slimey mackerel) salt and freeze and they are an excellent (free) bait.
Hi Mackerel,
I've fished the Lane Cove side and found it to be hit and miss. Most success was fishing the northern most part of the sandstone breakwall where it meets the bush.
Fish unweighted baits into the sunken timber on the shore. Forget about casting with heavy sinkers.
Baits I've used have been chicken breast and mullet strips. Use 10lb or lighter line and a bream sized hook like a size 1 circle or baitholder hook.
Good luck
Hi guys
spent last week on holidays at lake conjola entrance caravan park. Thanks to poddy trapper for his advice. booked a nice cabin for the wife and 2 kids.
Onto fishing. it was pretty tough going landbased. tried the beach and lake for nothing. very frustrating. all people i spoke to were not having much success despite fishing with live nippers.
The lake was closed and bit dirty. on our last day we hired a boat from the post office and at last success. 3 bream caught on garlic chicken fillet. gear was the humble handline with 12 lb mono
NICE! Great catch there esp the whiting. I used to live in Five Dock and fished Canada Bay regularly. Mullet strip and slimy mackerel strips are excellent bait for bream I have found.
Well done!
