afishyfish 4 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thanx heaps guys.Bit of an anchor eater out there ale. Just be sure to anchor a bit away from it.Blokes usually anchor right on it to get the fish off the structure, so some burley might be the go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ale 301 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Just got in from Clarries. Went out in .5-1m slop, but after a couple hrs got a bit nastier 1-2m. Got some good air in mates 6.25 cruise craft , loved it :laugh: Found the structure easy, anchored up tide from it, first cast, bang 45cm on the board. talks of first ever bag out. But then for the next 2 hrs our baits just got smashed to bits by 25 cm babies.Been a good weekend , now for some rest in front of the cricket Rickster 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daiwa 0 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Never pulled a fish over 4kg from clarries fished it heaps... Overated?? Yes... Worth the 16km run? No in my opinion... I do like Clarries though even if it produces small fish.. I have heard of big ones coming from there but you need to luck on i reckon.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishie 98 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Any big macks out there yet... they normally come in with the hot weather. I wouldn't mind getting some for sushi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mwilson 1 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Best I've pulled from there is 9kg, very hit and miss spot.Had a crack the other night, very slow not even any ruggers. About 6 boats right on top of the wreck all catching nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It might seem fun to antagonise them at the surface to get some good footage but one day it will all come unstuck :ohmy: Ale, SnappaGuy and Jack. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fishie 98 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 What happens is, if you hook them in the throat/mouth and leave the trace in till you get home (like I do) they will slowly gurgitate the hook down their throat into their stomach as they lay in your esky... always be very careful when gutting snapper as you'll end up putting the hook into your hand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

statesquider 0 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I know a few blokes who dive and they just grab all the anchors they find and sell them off Great way to pay for more gear! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
