Fishersheff 2 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 This summer I have regularly been fishing a common metro spot for yellowfin with my best session being 6 fish 26-30cm over about 8 hours fishing. After seeing recent discussions regarding a reduction in catch numbers I agreed that maybe there are fewer numbers. My last 2 trips I have seen plentiful numbers of good size fish swimming through the shallows.I have pumped the nippers, fished the incoming tide, cast near the school for them to rush over have a look and leave the bait sitting there.And have observed the fisherman near me experiencing the same. I don’t know what I seem to be doing wrong but I can’t blame a shortage of fish.. Softy and Des 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Des 818 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Good to know there are a few about the metro beaches. Try keeping your bait moving. YFW love a moving bait. So cast and slow retrieve. Or alternatively walk out to the sand bank in upto waist deep water. Then slowly walk along the sandbank trolling your bait some distance behind you. You will have them, chasing, tapping and soon striking your bait. Good Luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
