The Busso Jetty Report 6-10-16

After a slow winter on the jetty things are finally starting to pick up. Herring have made a come back in the past few weeks with plenty around to get a good feed or for bait. They are firing from around 4 pm on into the night, use lumo tube just before sunset and watch them boil behind the blob. Tailor are starting to come on but not thick yet, a few good specimens have been caught after dark on mulies. The slamon run doesn't seem to want to end this year with a few small schools getting around amongst the plyons out towards the end, use live bait to get them as they are a bit fussy on dead baits at the moment. For those chasing squid there have been some nice sized ones being caught up and down the jetty but you will have to put in a bit of work. The odd sampson fish has been spotted under the jetty if anyone wants to have their arms stretched. Tight lines everyone.

Fluro green is the go but

Thu, 2016-10-06 20:18

Fluro green is the go but they will hit just about anything, I was talking to some blokes who use Chuppa-Chupp straws. I give it about 1.5 mtrs or so in leader doesn't have to be precise as long as it is a decent length but no too long to make casting difficult. I tend not to use berly either just drives the fish out as the slick moves further away if you are going to use it just go to the local bakery on Kent street and grab some day old bread for a buck and rub it on the side of the jetty to make crumbs fall in the water, the bread just floats on top and doesn't dive the fish out further, a trick I learned from the old boys.

are attracted to the commotion of the float being worked across the top of the water.

You keep the bait back a bit to give them a chance to strike.
