Justo 1 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hi thanks, i went down to silver sands this evening, i caught a couple of sand whiting lots of bites, what size hooks were you using, i took size 2 hooks and used squid as bait, going back tuesday hopefully Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the tommy king 0 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 hey justo, if your chasing mullet use size 8 or 10 hooks with cockles or mince meat. spring sinker and you should be rite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 was using size 6 hooks and worms and mullet mix... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justo 1 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks guys, i tend to go for the same setup, slowly realizing i need to get more into the different hooks and bait, my reel didn't really perform tonight either only getting out 30 - 40 metres, how far out do you have to cast to catch anything decent? Im going again this week with size 6 hooks and maybe a wire trace, o well hopefully this chat leads to some good fishing lolThanks for the tipsJusto Meppstas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 look for sand bars... and cast into the gutter (the deeper water before the sand bar thats how we got ours... u can notice the difference the water is a deeper colour... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boyington214 0 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hey Justo, Welcome to SH.What do you want to use a wire trace for? If your using size 6 hooks, I'd say there's no need. We dont use Wire for Salmon either. What size lead are you using? Usually you don't need to cast too far. Around O'Sullivan's beach I use a 1 1/2 ouce lead when there's a few waves and a bit of movement to clear the breakers, but only a size 2 bean when its calm. There's a wealth of information here in the forums and the members are great. You'll find no end to advice from others in the know.Best of luck mate. Remember to post when you have a good sesh. We all like to see pics!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firefly 1 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 welcome j heard they are getting some salmon at nite down sellicks maybe just a rumour thou Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justo 1 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 How do you get the mince meat to stay on the hook?, ive tended to steer away from cockles cause they come of so easy, but in saying that the setup ive been using dosent work to well either lol, I have some sinkers from the tackle shop at christies beach and funnily enough there is no weight on them, id say there about 2.5, hopefully i will be going to the shop and getting some better hooks and a stronger trace line this week. :cheer: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 U mix it with a fe otha ingrediants... to form sorta of a pudding type bait.. i dont use mince i use chopped up steak pieces in small pieces.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aldingabeachfisho 1 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Beach worms work well they will catch both mulett and whiting and they stay on well you can get live worms from some of the local tackle shops. You don't need to cast very far just look for the deeper sections of the beach. Near the steps between button rd and sellicks ramp is usually a nice gutter. Good luck mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justo 1 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 that is a wealth of info, thank you. im sure with a trip to the fishing shop and some of these tips i will catch some fish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mully_madness 1 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 welcome too s&h mate , i was down there with southie the other day and was only casting a matter of about 4 or 5 mteres into the shallows ,we had just got there and the boys hadnt even finished riggin up and i had pulled in the first whiting ,as the boys said theres no need too flick your bait 40mtres away as most of the mullet n so fourth are almost right there infront of you,also if you have the option id be trying not too go with a surf rod myself i prefer a smaller 2-4kg bream stick myself just for the sensitivity of the tip allowing yo too feel even the smallest bite although id be takin the bigger gear with me cause ya never know when you get a decent size mullet sittin out the back with a couple of hooks in its back just what might come along for dinner .
