Pickles Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Toss up between chasing Kings in the harbour again or trying the Hawkesbury for snapper. Tne Hawkesbury won and the weather and sea was brilliant. After getting a swag of livies at West Head we headed for flint and steel - the results were a mixed bag of 40 fish including 12 snapper 8 black bream, a dozen tailor, 2 squid and a 1 50 cm hammerhead on a soft plastic and 2 Kingies. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61 crusher Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Nice report & mixed bag I’m assuming a good burley trail helped, that’s a great session, well done 👍 Edited May 26, 2019 by 61 crusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houdini Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Great catch. Just curious as to the Black Bream? Maybe it's a yellow fin bream that looks black? Black Bream not very common in the Hawkesbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coswecanfly Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Nice catch. Assuming the smallest snapper there is legal then that's a stonker of a Taylor on top. Well done mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welster Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Awesome bag of fish. Well done. I’d also like to know if you are using the livey’s for snapper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishn50 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Well done, fantastic catch. Great report and love the photos! Im so surprised that you didn't encounter any Jew at Flint and Steel? Even soapies? I presume the Snapper we caught on livey fillets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
