Scratchie Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 That's a cracking hairtail, especially for this time of year. It would have put up an awesome fight on your gear. Well done! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have time to wet a line very often? Are the Hairtails in the usual bays in summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishergirl Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Yes Formosan we are lucky we have a trawler on the hawksbury so we are there every day of the week, just check the bays for the hairtail fellow raiders they are their and I can only talk through personal experience but I find them bigger also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
