The Busso Jetty Report 13-09-12
The fishing has been reasonable over the past few weeks considering it is usually quiet at this time of year. The winter murky water has started to clear over the last week with visibility being 3\4 the way to the bottom out at the end. Chopper tailor are starting to turn up in good numbers after dark all along the second half of the jetty with sizes getting into the mid 30's. Small pieces of squid and soft plastics have been working quite well for the tailor at the moment since they are feeding in close to the lights and pylons. Herring are down in numbers as per usual this time of year however a good feed can still be caught right on sunset using small metal lures such as twistys or gillies baitfish. Large skippy can be found at the end in good numbers during the morning but have been going off the bite in the afternoon. Squid numbers are very good at the moment with most fisho's landing a good feed with 2 or 3 hours effort. The squid can be found all along the jetty after the bend with the best numbers coming from half way out. There is plenty of mulies hanging around under the jetty for use as bait for squid, just throw a bit of burly in the water and jig a small metal to catch them. Mulloway season has come to an end with no catches to be reported.
Side note : I have been throwing lures at the tailor over the past few weeks, I have been giving Blues Code a go and found they work very well, almost too well, I lost one to a very large Sambo this last monday.

sambos are in
Sambos to 70lbs are being caught and seen regulary out the end,two caught on friday morning 30lbs and 50 lbs and another one caught on saturday morning about 50lbs. Fresh squid heads on the bottom and then retrieved in a jerky fashion does the trick.

After this weather
I doubt there will be many takers tomorrow night. Rain, Hail and wind gusts up to 95km/h atm.
Mulloway season is pretty much over (might get extremely lucky) and the water will be so dirty I doubt the Tailor will be about.
Never know though???
