Thinking of heading out the sea way tomoz and having a fish anyone had much luck. Over the last few weeks

5 of us went out last weekend chasing the Mack's seen em ball up bait a couple of times even was in the middle of it but no one boated any water temp was only 22 ish

Was thinking of going to bait grounds load up on some livies then troll down to mermaid if nothing there head out to the 24

Water temp dropped to 19 degrees during the week but is back up to 21 degrees today.

I was out last Sunday thru the Seaway and down to Mermaid. Very quiet except for numerous schools of undersize Tailor smashing small bait. The bait was everywhere. Most was concentrated from Sth Straddie down to Narrowneck.

Plenty of boats on Palmy this morning bit i don't know if any fish got caught.

We have just been smashed with northerlies for so long now, its difficult. I can't believe the amount of bait around but nothing underneath them.

Give it a go, good luck.

There has been some monsters off the North Seaway wall I presume to be Kings. Floated a couple of Live Mullet about 15cm down the inner seaway wall a couple of days ago lost both.

1ST hit it and went straight for cover ((((((Bang)))))) 50lb braid/60lb leader

2nd hit it took off and smashed me 100m up the wall.

Both would of been much bigger than I could of landed there anyways

Watched another Asian fella popping out near the end and he also got smoked.

So if its shit outside you might have some more luck than me in the seaway with the advantage of a boat and a decent stick to extract these buggers..... Just a thought....

Trolled around the 36s for about 5 hours for marlin and NOTHING!!! Didn't even hook up on a dolphin fish or tuna!!!

Plenty of bait around but no fish chasing them!!!

Yea was realy hard going I took the tinny out for heaps of live bait. I trolled from the sea way all the way to mermaid and then headed out to the gravel batch. Dropped some livies down and still didn't get a thing. Don't think the marlin have come down Gc just yet. Water temp was only 22.3. Think next trip will be round the cape load more fish been pulled from there of late

[Mul87]

Did anyone else get a load of small tailor while getting livies.
