Absolutely! With the currents running so fast between the tides it spooks the fish to put them off the bite. Lesson No.1 - Never Fish 5 days either side of a full moon!
One to remember for next trip!
The currents are so strong a week leading up and afterwards it puts the fish of the bite for that period of time. If there's surface action chase it!..lol.
Keep trying it again around the full moon and you'll get the idea.
Tight lines and good luck!
No.1 Tip - Never fish 4 days either side of the Full Moon as the tides have such a large movement it puts the fish off the bite...especially in the Hawkesbury..
Remember this when planning your next trip and you won't be disappointed!
It was put up because people can not clean up after themselves by the City of Canada Bay Council.
Complaints were made to them by locals and hence the bands. More will come.
Hi All,
Went out on Saturday expecting the worse from the winds but managed to shelter away from it.
Started at Flint and Steel but no luck as the windes were up around the 25 knot mark.
Headed inland away from the winds and after the tide change we hooked into these Shovel Nose Sharks.
So much fun and a great feed.
Managed to get out on the harbour yesterday afternoon and headed to Clifton Gardens at around 6pm.
On our arrival there had to be about 8 boats within a 50 meter radius...
As we got closer to see if any one was catching anything they were into small Rat Kingfish no bigger than 50cm's.
All of the catches were under size but the most frustrating thing was that they KEPT THEM...
We anchored further back and ended up with a bag of legal Flatheads and Flounders.
Where are the NSW Fisheries??? Hiding in the Bushes at Brooklyn Boat Ramp??....
Thanks mate,
I've only done under 10 hours since the last service and I like to keep the log book stamped and up to date.
The engine has under 50 hours.
Thanks for the heads up and I look into it.
Hi All,
Need to get my Yamaha 4 stroke serviced and I can't get hold of my regular bloke.
I prefer a mobile mechanic because I can't justify taking and leaving the boat at dealer for over a week for
a service which takes an hour.
Thanks,
Hi all.
Went out on Sunday morning, Conditions were perfect and tide was good.
Started biting after the turn of tide at 7.30am and didn't stop till 12pm.
Haven't had this much fun for ages. Took an hour to clean them at the ramp.
Great day and looking forward to the next outing weather permitting.
Anf.
Went out this morning for a quick session on a mates boat under the Gladesville Bridge. Not much on to a hour before the change of tide.
Then suddenly 2 rods went off within 10 seconds of each other. Lost the first hook up but managed the second.
Came in at 68cm. Ended up with 4 Bream, a Blue Swimmer Crab and the King Fish.
Can't wait till next week.
