Hillarys Fishing Yesterday
Submitted by DieHard on Thu, 2010-07-08 16:16
Hey people,
went for a quick session yesterday at hillarys for about an hour, fished north wall targeting buffies and luderick.
I ended up after the 1 hour with 2 buffies and 1 Luderick. The Luderick was a fair size so gave it to my grandparents, kept the 2 buffies for bait/berley...
i was also teaching my 5 year old cousin how to fish and he caught his first ever fish not a blowie but a baby luderick! he had a big smile.
Unfortunately only 1 photo as the rest were blurry.
Cheers,
Eric

I don't have a lot of experience with Luderick, however I am sure that a weed type bait, and some worms may be the go because they are not meat eaters from what I know, I'm sure someone on here will fill you in a bot more with the bait side of things, that's what this site is all about - I'm sure Diehard had had plenty of his questions answered in the past and got plenty of help - Disregard his bait is secret ;) comment, Not very helpful at all.

Zebra fish
Just had a quick look through the Sea Fishes of Southern Australia book and a look on the web, I agree it's a Zebra fish, juveniles are generally darker in appearance, part of the Luderick family though.

Luderick stop pretty much half the way into South Australia, from the eastern seaboard.
Eric, do a bit of homework on google, and I'm sure you'll agree.

Nice little session,
Nice little session, remember when I was younger we used to get some really big buffies around there on dough and were really hard to get in.
People who haven't caught a big fish just don't get it
