by the time i got back that day my missus was back from the hairdresser, so i didnt get the chance to use it. i was probably pushing it trying to get a fish in on her birthday.

hopefully it gets a workout this weekend.

i have had great success the morning after a big blow on the north wall for herring, as long as the wind isnt coming into your face!

the south wall is littered with gardies and the herring seem far and few at the moment ...

try the inside of the harbour for big skippy, although colin h said he had caught some decent skip adjacent to the reef on the south wall as well, plenty of options there mate and good luck!

yeah still undecided which wall to hit up, probably figure that out on the morning.

the wind is looking pretty low so far, so i might try the south wall inside and out.

i reckon on the south wall if you fish on the inside, the wall that branches off to the right if you walk up further would be a good spot to drop some sp's ... just a thought

yeah thats where i was thinking, then be able to turn around and fish the area near the reef.

many people down there weekend mornings?

I was wondering the same thing wicksey, seems like a pretty comfortable groin to fish off but how are the weekend crowds?

live for nothing..or fish for something

i dont think the crowds are going to be a concern seeing as its only going to be 5 degrees overnight. not looking forward to the cold thats for sure!

at least it wont be too windy.

all ready to go tomorrow, just picked up some pollard and tuna oil (i swear that bag was already broken!)

make a couple of 600ml coke bottle burley bombs tonight ready for the morning!

arent too bad actually, they do get busy on weekday arvos when people finish work though ... if you go early enough on a weekend at about 6am then you can have a solid fish for about 2 hours before anyone really rocks up.

hillarys on a saturday and sunday arvo is a nightmare, not so much fishing although on a nice sunny day there will be heaps of people, finding a carpark there to just chuck a line in is ridiculous LOL.

on ya wicksey best of luck il probably come and fish with you mate if thats cool ..

yep no worries, still not sure if im going to pack light and wander or bring most of the setup and just sit back and relax.

Thanks for the tips guys, sounds like early mornings are the go. Good luck today, hope you catch more than i did last night:P:P

live for nothing..or fish for something

yeah mate i have never really caught anything in the arvo there, but you never know hey thats why i go anytime :P!

 i want to go tonight but the footy is on hmm might go between 230-430 though if anyone is keen to tag along i will probably be opposite the reef or further along at the tip, i have a red bucket so look out for me !

well i went down saturday morning, had a few good hookups but nothing to bring home.

was great to get out and relax for the 4 and a bit hours however.

it was slightly daunting driving 35km/r down hepburn ave because i couldnt even see a carlength in from of me!

what bait/rigs were you using?

yeah i went yesterday arvo and had nothing not even a nibble .. i was opposite the reef

was using powerbaits on one rod and half a mulie on the other. Nothing wanted the powerbaits for some reason, everything  i caught was on mulie.

i started at the platform, worked my way out to the lighthouse, back to the platform, over to the small gap near the restaurant, the south wall and then back to the small gap.

and still nothing worth keeping.

what did you catch mate?

yesterday to fish closer to the rock walls, im gonna try do this more often as most of the time i cast out pretty far (30-40m) see if it affects my catch rate on mulies at least up from about 10% at the moment haha.

tommo

a few small herring and a small tailor. these were all from the disabled platform.

there looks like plenty of overhanging rock inside the south wall, where a few will hide.

i do like the deep water next to the restaurant, im going to try there again this weekend, just not so early.

well im going to be having a mid morning fish here again on sunday, hopefully i get something decent this time.
