Chidley Point last night
Gday all,
Went fishing last night, the plan was to go to Meads/Mosman Jetty. The GF didnt get off work till later so by the time we got down there there were a few people fishing already. We moved over to Chidley Point and had lines in the water by 7:20pm. We had a few small bites over the course of the night but didnt catch any fish.
The chidley point jetty is not lit, so I think if we try there again we will go earlier to see any holes/snags etc, and will also take a gas lantern to attract any squid that may be in the area.
The interesting thing was that there were 3-4 blokes freediving around 9pm from the sandy beach at chidley pt. This makes me keen to go for a dive ASAP to check if any of the mighy Blue Mannas are in the river yet.

Fishcrazy, If I had been on time (before sundown) I probably would have chucked a few around. I have not used them much before, but bought some starlo squidgies/Leadheads the other day. How do they fair after dark though?
We were fishing with shelled river prawns or whitebait on size 8 Mustad longshank hooks with a running small ball sinker on the main line. As I said, a couple of bites, but nothing serious. It felt like with the whitebait on the uneven bottom that if you got a small snag, it would pull out but I would lose the bait. Maybe I need to try some unweighted lines.
