queensland manly jetty friday night!

[kriso]

hey so heres the plan,

Me and Dostlyes are hittin the willy gun for the run in tomorrow night if anyones keen to join us! i will be there betwenn 7-8pm start

[Shrimpo]

Lol ure hitting the willy gun for the run lol

I would love to hit the willy gun with you blokes but im working

[benno573]

i might pop down for a look. might be a little bit on the drunker side of sober so may not be possible. :laugh: :laugh:

[waldo]

Not really my choice of tides but I might wander down a little later in the evening to say hello and drown a bait or two.

[kriso]

anyone had luck on plastics there? just restocked on my favorites so thinking of giving it ago

[Do$tylz]

Yeah waldo, the tide will get better through the night. The bottom of the tide is very largely hit and miss.

Benno - the more the merrier. The less sober the merrier

Shrimpo - what time do you finish work mate?? we may be there till late.

Kriso - yeah, one of our mates caught a bream on a plastic at night there. Fluke i reckon though. But if you're ever there for sunrise at the right tide, you can hook up trevs, flatties and moses. I've never personally had luck with a plastic at night there. Then again I've only properly fished there with plastics 3 times.

[benno573]

yeah i think i will come down and drown a bait with you guys tonight. will (unfortunately) be entirely sober but will still be "all the merrier". i'll be there about 8-ish.

[Eddo]

From memory, that fluke bream you speak of was caught on 2 inch

pumpkin seed flick bait or power minnow.

Do$tylz has also caught a flathead on a 50mm killer tomato squidgy fish.

[Do$tylz]

It was a fluke Troy. Bet you can't do it again tonight

And you can see my new rod mate. After flicking your Trion around, I sucked it up and bought a plastic combo. Its sweet as.

[benno573]

is it worthwhile bring a cast net for some livies? i'll sit back, relax, and watch you guys flick plastics i think. i'll be on the bait.:laugh:

Great for plastics mate.

Fished there with ando a few times. He got Trevs. I got moses perch, pike and bream.

So I took Tanya there. She caught 7 Pike and that was her first plastics session. I got a few pike a bream that day.

If you use 2 Inch Gulp shrimps you should do ok i reckon. I have never fished there at night but i reckon that should make it easier for the bream.

Good luck guys looking forward to the report.

Angus

[Do$tylz]

Yeah Benno, cast netting will be on the agenda. I'll soak a livie, while flicking plastics/HBs as well.

Might get squid, larger bream/butter bream. And if we're lucky, prawns. Have had a mate there bag out on prawns down there on his own. Apparently his arms were a bit sore after. Pansy

[namyau]

im mostlikely trekking down the coast looking for squid - depends how the weather goes

[Angus]

Dostylz after your Jack, and the recent 70cm plus flatty caught there, a larger live fish bait could be an awesome option.

Id even float a live prawn or fish out for a big trev.

I have seen 3 small squire caught there as well. No reason a bigger boy might not be around at night

Angus

[benno573]

thanks do$tylez - will bring mine down so if the prawns are there we can both bag out on them. live prawns are awesome bait so that'll be great as well. might even take the shark rod down for an experiment!!

[benno573]

is anyone scared of the rain???

[kriso]

nah im still keen lads

[chubbstar]

It's not the rain you gotta worry about fellas:blink:

It's the lightning that worries me:ohmy:

[waldo]

W Gunn jetty at manly boat harbour. Its toward the northern end, kind of between manly swimming pool and the moreton bay trailer boat club.

[jeff f]

how did you go, where's the report?

[kriso]

well the weather started behaving itself and just had a constant little drizzle of rain harldy noticed it, beno and henry where throwing the net around but bait was scarce with a couple of herring a few squid caught in the net too, bites were slow and only small fish landed, i caught one bream that wasnt even worth measuring (dostyles has the photo) also waldo turned up and when i was leaving said he got onto a couple of moses and bream. Even though the fish werent coperating while i was there i still had a blast catching up with the guys and will have to do it again soon.

cheers

[waldo]

I wandered down late and was a bit unsociable prefering to keep away from the guys with the nets. Got a near legal bream first cast bite off second then settled into feeding a heap of small bites.

Shifted down to where the jetty just begins and got a nice moses perch in the first 2 casts but there too went quiet. Had been watching a cloud approach and looked like some set in raim so I bolted just before midnight.

[Watto]

I only just remembered to check this thread, so I'm bloody glad I was working on Friday night, or I would have been really annoyed at missing it!

Will keep an eye out for your next sojourn to the WG
