", A full moon and favourable tides auger well for jew fishing this weekend, but Fish of the Week winner David Sykes isn't fussed. "Harley Price caught a stack up around Soldiers Point on the rock walls through the week and there's been plenty of flathead coming on the chew as the water temps wake them up," Ringo reported.
The place i went through summer that never failed me with livies has not had any around it the last few weekends so i'm questioning whether the cooler months see them dissapear? "Our cured beach worms are the go," he said.
It’s getting to be that a boat is essential to fish some locally known areas that were once readily accessible. "My goal this year was to catch a fish 20kg-plus so I can tick that off," he said. Now is also a great time to be trolling.

Most I've ever got is 2 in 2hrs solid squiding. After weighing the fish yesterday morning, David gave it to the owner of Swansea Newsagency. If this is the case is it also the case for squid?
About See All. would the presence of livebait be hindered by wind or is it just whoevers ontop of the water in a boat its going to annoy. enable_page_level_ads: true
Brent "Hammer" Hancock, from Tackle World Port Stephens, reports anglers have enjoyed good snapper fishing off the bay this week. Plenty of squid in the harbour atm and a few small cuttles as well. "He deserves it because he fishes hard and is always on the water," he said. Interests: Squid fishing! 3,066 people follow this. Whiting have been the target early in the morning on a rising tide for anglers using bloodworms and beach worms. "There's thousands of them with a few seals thrown in," Sean reported. Forgot account? Down south, guys have been getting kingfish up to 95cm on squid, which are about in patches. Been some great bream coming off Blacksmiths Beach. David's previous PB jew was 122cm, 14.5kg, so he has quite literally smashed it. Winter is also a time to set one legal trap for lobsters, and the same trap can be used for mud crabs and blue swimmers.
"I also heard of a few adventurous types who got wide this week and landed some smaller model yellow fin up to 30kg. "I hooked up at 1.15am, it took me 20 minutes to get it to the boat and 20 minutes to get into the boat - it was just too big." After weighing the fish yesterday morning, David gave it to the owner of Swansea Newsagency. Which is always a good problem to have when you're fishing solo. Hammer also reports there's been some really good bream and jew coming off the beaches. "They [salmon] had been patchy but it seems like last week's big winds might have pushed them up the coast. Mud crabs can also be easily caught and locals in this area use a variety of methods.
