pompom Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I've just moved over from London and have started fishing the harbour, fished a couple of weeks ago on the jetty at Clifton gardens ,two rods out on sliders with livebait and my spinning rod catching bait after an hour missed a take on one of the live baits , on inspection just one small puncture wound on the bait but something definitely had hold of it as it took line on a run then about 11am had another hit , this one was hooked and landed what I believed is a tailor apart from a flathead and a flounder that was it for the day and I packed up about one Fished again this Monday evening on a beach north of Norah head had squid , prawns and salted pilchards first cast small flathead then three port Jackson sharks on whole squid , also had a fiddler ray, two small stingers ,three tailor and a 2kg bream which took a 6/0 circle hook, all fish returned .still getting used to measuring fish as we weighed everything in the uk fishing is a bit different over here to my usual carp and beach back home , but I'm here now full time so I better get used to it lol waiting for my first king and jewie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompom Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm a little bit lazy so I release 99% of fish I catch ,would rather let them go than leave them in the fridge and end up giving the neighbors cat a dinner however I do have a John Dory on my wanted list and if I get one it might come home with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryR Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 you're doing a pretty good job of getting to know the local wildlife and, of course, you must have noticed, if you do get homesick, there is no shortage of carp in Australia ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Welcome to Oz and Fishraider pompom. Seems that you're not finding the fishing too difficult here mate. It's a great place to be and the fishing opportunities at the coast are almost limitless. Cheers, BN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
