Hey mate ring Kris, he has fished that heaps and pretty productively!
If it's 4 brett i think he is getting live prawns from his uncle or something and thats also what K used to use up there for buckets of Jewies in a day session.
BTW we going crazy with that Berty soon.

fresh hawkesbury river prawns anchor on the shelf infront of the deepest hole fo straight down and fish for bream out of the sides, if he wants to go majorly for bream he should try against the rock wall, bass under the mangroves using poppers i think me mate used, flatties drifting along the flats on the other side. me mate pulled a 4.5kg jewie out of there last week

Sorry i missed this one kamil
Live prawns ..only way to go.
run out anchor on the flat on the inner corner and drift unweighted ir very lightly weighted LIVELY prawns cast to the bank and allowed to come back over the drop, whnt your line is no longer drifting naturally retrieve and start again.

run in find the jagged bottom . anchor next to the flat on the edge of the nasty stuff and do pretty much the same..
LIVE PRAWNS are the only way to get the good numbers.
All other baits and lures will get a few here and there but the livies will mean 40 or 50 fish. Take your lightest gear and have a ball.
This time of the year will be ok for bream ep's and flatties late march sees the soapies there in huge numbers

Tom that trawler you spoke to should have had some, or one of the trawlers will - hit em up for a few, they should part with some for a few $...?? Maybe...

Kris?? any ideas?
Other than that Qld cast net!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wiink:

[TomMc]

stef thanks for that, but i dont htink that will be happening for awhile 2 years ago we could go down to dads and catch 10+ fish now were strugiling to get 1 so i bet the trawler is feeling the same way
