Just to reiterate guys, ill be there sun, hail or snow. But if it is truly distasterous, Ill be heading arounf the conrner to tingalpa creek to chase flatties and school jew.

I just thought id throw that out as it may effect what else you take in your tackle box.

Angus

haha sorry just had to do it angus :lol:

[Angus]

Hail or snow

$50 charter though

I dont get to out on boats very often, but i can fish wello another time if that makes sense.

Thanks fishyman you made me feel all bad now!!

Angus

[fishyman]

im gonna head to Big W to pick up a few packs of larger plastics like 4 and 5inch for tomorrow to go with my collection of 3 inch.

[fishyman]

no probs gus

50 bucks for a charter :silly: how does it go at towing yaks haha

[kriso]

you will if you catch the biggest snapper again on a dodgy old alvey!

[fishyman]

what time is everyone getting to wello? and where exactly is launch?

[fishyman]

bump

[Angus]

Ash prob wont be back on before tomorrow but he said to me 5:30am.

Launch spot is easy. when you get there there is a large baot ramp next to the pontoon.

Thats it

Angus

[fishyman]

ahh sweet thanks angus

[username_taken]

where exactly is the boat ramp? right at the end on main st at the point ?

[kriso]

thats the one

[username_taken]

I'll aim to get there around 5am then, give me time to mess around getting my yak sorted.

[Angus]

Yeah if you drive to the end of the point, you literally cant miss it.

The find the best patches of reef, paddle out through the marker bouys and turn left or right. If you stay paralell the shore on that mark you will get fish.

My other faveourite tactic for yakker s to paddle into the shore until the bottom is visible, the drift off the shallows into the deep water until you start getting bites or a fish. Then repeat.

This is what has accounted for all the fish I have yak caught there.

Angus

[fishyman]

how deep is it out there?? just trying to get an idea of lures to bring

[Angus]

It completely vairies as its a reef. Some parts are 1 meter deep right down to very deep.

Angus

[fishyman]

sounds like plastic territory moreso than HB's

thanks angus, oh and btw thanks for that info on the roof racks we went and bought somelke yours exept with only 1 arm thing. the hobie goes flat and the profish goes on the arm thingy.

[Cowfish13]

Most of the parts that you would be fishing in would be between 2.5-5m. There are some spots around 7-8m, but they are a bit further out and the 4-5m spots have usually got better fish.

[fishyman]

thanks mate, getting set up now

[Cowfish13]

There is also usually not too much current there. So jigheads of 1/6-1/12 will be perfect when fishing medium depth water.

[fishyman]

awesome that suits me perfectly

thanks alot cowfish

[Cowfish13]

No problem:)

We have actually had success with big Bream just floating small baits down with no sinker at all:) It might be a biggish paddle, but there is a big black beacon a fair way off to the left of the channel mouth and that has a lot of big Bream hanging around usually. It is fairly deep there, but there is next to no current so most jighead weights will work fine:)

Good luck guys. Hopefully this will be a good report. Havn't heard much from the bay for a while, that I can remember:dry:

[Ash]

hey guys, ill be there about 445 to 500. i want to be on the water pretty early. For those who dont know me, ill be driving a black holden with the afo sticker on the back. Also ill be in my boat, an Aussie whaler, so say hi if ya see me. Looking forward to it. Havent taken the boat out in ages.

Ill be using both lures and bait, and Ausboy (george) will probaby just bait up.

Ive got some SP,s that i reckon should do well around the reefs there.

See ya all tomorrow,

Ash

[fishyman]

well im off to bed now fella's.

me and my dad will be there, me in a green and yellow profish and dad in a moss green hobie. we are looking at getting there around 5:30am

see you guys in the morning

[ellicat]

[fishyman]

leaving now, a bit late but better than never.

good luck to the charter people

Unfortunately Fishyman bought the ProPaddle, not the ProFish. I on the other hand cleaned up.

[fishyman]

haha yes no fish for me unfortunatly, although i did get smoked a few times and pulled the hooks on a few fish. dad caught 2 cod on the troll. we didnt really have any idea where to fish just sorta winging it. sounder will be the next mod i think.

[Lozzel]

Is anyone fishing this on the 23rd (Sunday) ??

Weather permitting Glenda & I will be there at arround 5.00am
