panfried Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Catching yellowtails they don't seem to be around. it's now 3pm and I've been here for almost 40 min I've caught 2 snappers between 10 and 17 cm, a leather jacket and a colour fish with sharp teeth and a slimy skin... Been burleying and casting 10 meters down current. No yaks so I'm heading to Clifton with frozen squid Wish me good luck. I don't know what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cong Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 You've got yourself a leatherjacket and a wrasse. Throw a plastic around at cliftons and you might nail a flatty over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panfried Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just had my first run on the yellowtail but I lost it when I picked up the rod and accidentally opened the gate... not use to this new set up I got just yesterday from Willoughby! I also picked up a new Kmart special and customised it with 10 pound line... The lines more expensive than the rod lol Need more yaks now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The Wrasse is a Gunther's Wrasse Pseudolabrus guentheri. Good luck with the Yakkas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Make sure your rod is tethered. It's a good spot for Jewies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panfried Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Not sure about the legal limit. Can you eat them? Science told me colourful things in the wild is no good, such as poisonous frogs, magic mushrooms, Starburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 is there a legal limit for wrasse? Possession limit would be 20. Don't believe there is a size limit, but gee you'd be hard up keeping small ones. You may get a Crimson Banded Wrasse at a reasonable size (400 grm +). You see Crimson's, Purple and Blue Throat Wrasse in Chinese Restaurants and they ask big prices so someone must like them. Purple and Blue Throat Wrasse are not a species really caught in Sydney but they grow pretty big down the South Coast. 1kg plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
