dan1000 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hey Raiders, I'm down in Thirroul/Wollongong/Bulli for the next two weeks for a uni placement and am wondering if anyone has had any past experiences fishing the beaches in the area? Will mainly be targeting salmon. Cheers!! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elferoz777 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Normally yes. Salmon was something I was actually getting annoyed with at one stage as I would catch fish upon fish and they were always over 60 cms... Now I have not caught one for about 2 months now.... Pilleis on a paternoster were the go though.. Let me know how it pans out.. Im going to go this weekend at bulli though PM if your keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one south the Bulli Surf Club or north of the club? I usually fish Sandon Pt in front of the aboriginal tin town there, is that where you are referring to?

GABBA Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 What about Garie Beach? That isn't too far from the area is it? I will be hitting it up soon to try my luck. Has anyone had any good experiences there? Thanks. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan1000 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Ended up going down to Austinmer for a couple of hours after work on Tuesday night. I always rig a surf popper to my paternosters on the beach, and 80% of the fish I land are taken on the popper over the bait. Anyway, long story short, landed countless undersized flathead (3 keepers, on pippies), the tailor were out in force, but only 1 actually landed, and 4 smaller salmon on the ganged pilchard. Also had an eel on (about 1-1.5m) that spat the hook in the wash, I'd never caught or even hooked an eel off the beach before so this was an exciting sighting for me!! Anyway, not a bad little evening session overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
