Hillaries north rock wall night fish

Hi all, I'm new to the site so thought I'd make a report.

Went to Hillaries north rock wall this evening, went down by myself because I bought a whole heap of new gear and was itching to christen it but to my disappointment I couldn't catch a bloody thing! I didn't even get one bite nor nibble, with two rods out I would have thought I was doubling my chances but nope. Was just throwing out some pillys incase anyone's interested.

I'm dead keen to pop the cherry of my new Snyder glass rod and alvey reel so if anyone wants to point me in the right direction for a tailor or two, I would much appreciate. Hopefully I can post a few exciting reports for you guys in the future!! :)

I got into the Tailor last

Sat, 2011-10-29 12:11

I got into the Tailor last night in the Swan. Came home with 4 between 35cm and 40cm and threw back a few just on 30.

Pick a point in Nedlands and bait cast mullies as the sun comes down. They come on at about 7:30 last night and shut down at about 9:30.

Would be worth chucking out a bait for the Mullaway as well i reckon.

North Mole

Tue, 2011-11-01 16:04

Thinking of giving North Mole a go on Friday night after work. I havent fished there for almost 15 years. We also used to go hunting for cobbler at Port Beach, before thsy put in the rock wall.

I agree with liam would much rather trek it to hilaries then fight for a spot at north mole only to tangle with the entire wall

Hillaries Rock Wall North Face

Wed, 2011-11-02 07:28

I used to catch a lot of good size Tailor on the North face wall. The last thing I caught was 2x 3kg Tailor back in Feb 11.

Since then, there has been squat. Squid is good though.

I`m after decent big fish. Not Herring etc. Any decent fish at North Mole? Since I havent been there for a while.

Hillarys Shark Fishing

Wed, 2011-11-02 09:19

If you're out for a fight, fish the evening incoming tide along the southern wall of Hillarys, have seen and personally cut loose some mammoth sharks (5 foot plus) from there. Good fight but it wrecks your gear!

Hillaries South Wall

Wed, 2011-11-02 10:15

Not into sharks that much. Just a few good size tailor will do for me. The South wall of Hillaries doesnt offer that. I`ve caught sharks heaps of time there but, I want to take something decent home for the BBQ.

Any advise on the North Mole?

 id take a shark over a tailor to eat anyday! South Wall has more reef mate- more chance to catch the tailor - and bigger ones too.

North Mole

Wed, 2011-11-02 11:22

I try to stay away from either of the moles, it used to be a good bet that when they're packed it usually means a good bite is on. I haven't been to either of them for more than 10 years.............don't like the crowds. Sorry, can't really offer much worthwhile advice.

North Mole

Mon, 2011-11-21 08:56

Went to the North Mole on Saturday night. Absolutely CRUD. Nothing bitting, except for other peoples lines, who bloody cast over you. The place was packed out. The next person from you was almost a metre away from you. Shoulder to shoulder. And the damn cray pods were only a few metres from you.

Might give the North wall a go again this Satuday night (Hillarys). Any suggentions people??
