southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 So with the awesome time of year coming up (Spring and Summer months) What are people looking at targeting? What are you hoping to achieve? Here is my list. Not in any particular order.... Yellowfin Whiting on fly Yellowfin whiting on Popper over 35cm Yellowfin whiting on plastic Flathead on fly Flathead over 60cm Yellowtail Kingy Landbased over 90cm Legal Mully. With more time on my hands now and my passion back for fishing i should hopefully be able to achieve this and put alot of hours in.... So lets hear your plans!

keenfisho 1,416 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yep I've got one little spot on yorkes that has always produces me 40cm + yfw that I want to throw some flys at. I need to hit yorkes for work in the next two weeks so fingers crossed I can slip in some fishing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scissors 308 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 More of the same, whiting on the flats come end up of this month. Mulloway until I get sick of the mozzies around dusk when its not freezing cold down the local river. Dabbing for garfish come December. For something different will try some sharking this summer.

ludaqryz 290 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Great aspiration topic . I'd like to have a crack at the Yorks east coast creek near Price in the yak, target bream and explore the system. Will be aiming at bream in the Port on and off when I have to odd day (not enough time to travel) as entered in the kayak bream comp in a couple of months time. Will aim for squid and legal salmon trout in some mornings outer harbor as I need local bait for some Salt Creek for Summer and perhaps the odd pinkie in the process. target hopes are: First West lakes mulloway First 100cm mulloway First surf mulloway First Coorong 100cm mulloway First 10 legal coorong mulloway in one day. First kayak king- perhaps rapid bay. The rest would be a bonus haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doobie 5,802 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Good idea Lofty. I haven't caught any of those since I was a young kid, and that was from Rymill Park in the city ! But being landbased, I'll just do the usual of YFW, Silver Whiting, Gar & Tommies and hopefully a special effort towards Snook which I have never caught as yet.

bjorn2fish 4,612 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm keen to just get out for a fish, been so busy lately. On my list are: Snapper, a couple of pannies to eat but really want that thump thump thump of a decent monster red. If I achieve this then a snapper on plastic, yet to be crossed off the list for me. Legal mully A couple of decent Onk bream sessions would be cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danfish1234 103 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Snook over 80cm on live gar as i dropped 2 last summer. YFW on popper YFW over 40cm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piratepom 3,197 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 The usual local rock fishing targets for me. Bream 45+cms would be nice Flathead 60+cms Snapper, legal Gar and Squid My Dads coming over from Pommieland to celebrate his 75th in a couple of weeks, so hoping to get him onto some thumper Bream locally and some decent Callop as we celebrate his birthday with a few days at the River.

mrfish 327 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'll be having a crack at some gar from the kayak, Also really want to get something big from the kayak, snapper, king, hell i'll take a port Jackson ! Also want to start exploring the fabled northern flats....starting this weekend hopefully, not the best conditions though, does anyone know if a 0.95m low tide is low enough to get out to the good spots or is it better to wait for a lower tide?

Matty90 62 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Bream 45+cms would be nice That is my next target too. I think the step from 42-43cm to 45cm is the real challenge. Very rarely you see photos or reports of the really big Bream, but around, and just over 40cm are way more common. A fish around that 45cm mark would have to be around 30 years old. Would be awesome to see. First legal Mulloway in the Onk. Have never specifically targeted them but will attempt it soon. Flathead 50cm+ would be sweet. Again, haven't gone out specifically for Flathead but have caught them targeting Bream in the surf. 85cm Snook - probably not anything to brag about. I'm sure many of you catch them that size regularly. What is the biggest Snook you guys have caught? Just curious what size they get to. ludaqryz and piratepom 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 1,645 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Wouldn't mind pinning a 45cm bream. My biggest is 42, and I have been stuck there for 3 years....twice I have caught a 42 now. Also going to bite the bullet and learn to fly fish. I pretty much target the same species all year round, but I sure enjoy the warmer weather of spring and summer. And so do the fish.... ludaqryz, southie THE BANGA and Alexsfishin1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plankton 725 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Mulloway and sharks, trying to tag as many as I can. A more serious effort on the YFW, might need to include some trips further north. Try to get myself out on a boat and catch a few of these snapper that everyone talks about. Near the end of the summer I'm on a serious SBT mission. Tinker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
