Will find out next week

Going down to Busso on Saturday for 2 weeks so will give the jetty a try if the weather is not boating weather.. Can get out about 100 metres apparently. Normally good for herring, skippy, squid etc and the occasional king gorge whiting.

Looking forward to it being open next year when we go down.

One bonus...... Apparently no need to pay for access at the moment!!!

Cheers,
David

oh yer alrite not great but we went out for a lazy fish and cruise got 2 small squid and 3 herring.

but it was hotttttt.

we were just drifting near the end of the jetty and got a tailor in the marina.

there were a few rays.

we got a couple of kg whiting.

we got a size tailor next to the jetty at nite time and there were heaps of crabs close to shore if ur game to wade the shallows at nite with a scoob net. mostly massise ones and they were destroying my baits for stingrays.

Lazy Fish

Wed, 2010-01-27 23:30

Sounds like my kind of day ... but we will be going a bit further than the end of the jetty after we try for some fresh bait in close...

But if the catch is zero.... I won't care as long as we get out there.

Cheers,
David
