The Busso Jetty Report 14-02-13

Tailor have been fishing well over the past few weeks if you are willing to put in the hours until their feeding time comes on. They have not been running for the majority of the night as they were last year but rather they have been having shorter harder runs that last between 1-2 hours. If you are seriously wanting to catch tailor you may have to put in the hours to find these runs. They have been running quite late over the past week. Bonito are still hanging around with a few being caught at night on tailor rigs and harder runs on hot sunsets when the ocean is very calm. Bonito will take lures if you are fishing for them in the late afternoon or sunset. The best place to fish for these two species is from just before the second shelter onwards. Herring are plentiful at night especially where the dark meets the light from the jetty. There are some quite large herring in the mix that are close to 30cm in size. Herring can be found anywhere after the first bend. Squid have been quite slow but are starting to make a comeback. Several sharks have been landed, hooked and lost over the past month for those who have been willing to put in the long hours. The three species that have been hooked are Gummy, Tiger and Bronzie. There is plenty of fresh bait swimming around under the lights at night time with yellowtail in their thousands for those who want lives or if your mulies run out.

Great report

Great report as usual mate, Sometimes you have to work for the fish you want to catch, but it seems like there is always something to chase on the jetty.

Man it must be great to live down there and have access to a great fishing platform every day.

Cheers Grant .

Just about any colour is good

Just about any colour is good make sure jig is a size 3 or bigger to compensate for the wind. Unweighted mulies are the way to go for tailor. Live baits work well, there is plenty of yellowtail you could use for this.
