Pittwater and the Hawkesbury

[Martin]

Hi guys, just thought I would make my first post and catch up with some members who were active on another site. I have just finished a month’s holiday and have not had much of a chance to fish, family duties and in laws staying over through the new year.

Anyway, I only got to go fishing a few times. Spent 2 weeks a Coffs Harbour with the wife and two children. Went beach fishing a few times getting lucky with some bream and whiting.

Also did a charter taking out my son on a 60ft Aero Cat called Out there. Ex cray boat built in WA and jet powered in lieu of the traditional shaft drive. We did a bit of everything for not much. Matthew came home with a good dolphin fish. Hooked up on live bait at a FAD. More than enough fish once filleted and skinned to feed all four of us.

Fished 6th Jan for one of the poorest days fishing I have ever had. One big fat ZERO, just a lot of under size snapper all through Pittwater. Tried 6 locations in Pittwater and the Hawkesbury/ Broken Bay all for zilch. What’s even more amazing in having a month off is I only managed to go out fishing once on my boat, however I did have a few family days.

Hope all of you did much better than I and are all well rested and ready for some serious fishing.

Happy New Year
Martin

Welcome Martin,

I've been fishing a few times over the break but haven't caught much either. Stayed away from Pittwater after reports of netters going through. Hope it picks up soon as I like fishing there and its been a little kind to me in the past.
