Harbour lure fun

Hi Raiders,

It has not been long since my last report and I thought I'd give an update on how the Harbour/Parra system is fishing recently, particular this week. Spots fished were from Canada Bay to Rozelle Bay.

In short, it's been on fire. The size of the fish isn't quite there but respectable, and they are actively feeding. Probably caught in excess of 60 fish over 3 sessions between myself and mates. Average size of bream were between legal to 30 cm, so very fun on the light bream gear. :clapping:

Plastics were the go but also hardbodies which include surface, floating divers and suspending jerk style divers. Blades also picked up a few fish so it seemed most lure types were working. Flathead seemed to take a liking to hardbodies as well which could be quite distressing if lodged deep in its gob. :whistling::mfr_lol: The trade off with such a scenario is that surface strikes from flatties are awesome to witness.

Techniques for plastics include double hops and slow lifts, HBs also slow rolled or twitched if finicky and blades worked slow.

Thanks for the comments guys.


@reese @ beginner @adamski - Cheers guys, glad you enjoyed the read.


@ Stewy - Net? Don't need that because you can't miss when the fish are all in a barrel. :1punk:


@ Richard - No not I, I just got lucky this week. :1worthy:


@ ebow - I use size 2/4 hooks on 1.5g jigheads.


@ Luke - Haha, just trying to expand the repertoire and enjoy some variety. :ninja:


@ Witha - Thanks, no lipless cranks were used. Bibbed fat divers and suspending divers twitched produced the goods. On the surface, poppers and walk the dog types were used. I still need to work on my technique on the walk the dog type imo.


@ Jeff - You caught me there! :icon_funny: Hope you get in some decent fishing in.

Sensational effort Dr Pete!

That's a brilliant haul of fish and a variety of species on a vast selection of lures.

Very well done indeed and keep up the magnificent work.

Thanks for sharing.

All the best

Ian

Thanks for your kind comments Ian. I hope you find the time to wet a line in the near future. That surface bite is still persisting and I know how much you enjoy that. :biggrinthumb:
