what has been caught recently off the rocks at the southern end of hillarys groin( near aqua)?

At around 7am this morning my mate hooked onto something when fishing for tailor? just wondering if its worth fishing there with heavier gear? any thoughts..

Got a 28cm Snapper off the rock at Burns beach yesterday, released to fight another day. First tome i caught one bigger that 15cm. Must have been a one off as the weather was not too bad.

ive caught plenty of snapper at hillaries under 30cm, but the one i lost, getting a good look as it hit the surface, im guessing it would have been upwards of 5kg. the day i dont take a gaff. :(

havnt fished hillaries

Tue, 2010-01-12 23:51

havnt fished hillaries properly for a while, but there should be skippy (hence pinkies) in the channel at the lighthouse. try squid and mulies for them. if you have a big rod, take it down and chuck out a big stinkin bait and hookup to something big :) considering going down too.... either that or take the train down to freo for some egi...........

Was planning on hitting up city beach tomorrow night but if its windy might try north side of hillaries. Like Leemo said get the heavy gear out n see what shows up. only ever had rays there b4 but ya never know.

Didnt know there was many little snapper there maybe give that a shot to pass the time as well....
