zmk1962 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I guess it's as @rickmarlin62 once said.... that's why its called "fishing".... if we knew all the answers then it would be called "catching". At least you were out there rather than infront of the TV. Good on ya! On a more constructive note, remind me was it an overcast night or bright moonlit night? Did you burley? Hairtail will be where there are baitfish. Cheers Zoran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicraig Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Saturday was close to full moon. I had the same issue with them last season - went out near full moon and not a bite to be had. I've booked my annual trip in with the boys and we are targeting new moon this year! See how we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam bros Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Unlucky mate, But at least you got out there I would suggest moving around, if one spot isnt working move to another, find the bait and hopefully you will find the hairtail Im heading out some time during the week, hopefully get a couple Edited July 1, 2018 by sam bros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went out on friday night till 2am Saturday in Jerusalem bay on a kayak, caught two hairtails but dropped one. Many Bites but could not hookup. My experience is around 14 meters of water and 5 to 6mtrs baiting from a float and aided with lights. I have caught hairtails on different tide mainly rising tide. Good luck... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
