claremont

Has anyone been fishing in claremont recently, if so how did you go?

[torvic]

Hi I live in Dalkeith so I fish at claremont regularly mostly at night. Flathead as usual are everywhere but bream on the otherhand are a little scarce. I feel using soft plastics in this area is usually unproductive (but then again I'm a breammin newbie) so a little effort + some bony herring strips usually produce one or 2 fish, however the largest I've caught from there was only 35 cm. (sad aint it)

I usually go there for a certain other species *cough* You'l have to come here to find out. Wear old clothes and be prepared to dodge bits of flying black stuff.

The mornings though might be worth a go with some soft plastics but since I usually wake around 11 I've only had a go once so, give it a go!

you might want to stop playing with your soft plastic so much
you could go blind

Guys,
This time of the year it's a good idea to move more up stream. We have been doing very well even as far as Lilac Hill Park. Richo pulled a ripper out of there the other day.

Even our Swan Trust spot has been a bit quiet lately.

Yea I want to go upriver and get into the bream action but I've got no transport so I'l just make the best out of what I have.

Just last night I hooked onto the biggest flatty ever...never seen a flathead's head so big. Actually I was after squid and was trying the prawnstar as they were attacking the real prawns skipping along teh surface.

Anyway I guess I just wasnt in flathead mode I just stood there for 3 seconds looking at the giant head instead of running down the jetty to beach it.

Goldfiender -> sorry i dont get it :p

When people say upstream, what kinds of places do they mean, and are there any exact spots which are good. thanks

[Richo]

Anywhere past Belmont is upstream, but guildford produces as well, which is further up.

Cheers

Richo:p

Thanks for that guys, but just one more small question, what kind of tide is the best for flathead or bream thanks,
andrew

Andrew, I like either turn of tide for flatties and rising/high tide for bream.

where is Claremont and is that where Claremont jetty is?? sorry but I'm new to the game and from NSW.

[Craig_S]

Ben, Claremont is down Stirling Hwy towards the beach and yes that is where Claremont Jetty is. Even more amazing, Claremont Jetty is located at the end of Jetty Road!!!.:D

[BenR]

sorry dude but what state do I start looking in?

[Craig_S]

It'll be a bit of a travel for you Ben, its WA.:)

[BenR]

A bit far I think. Might get there sometime before I die.:D :D :D
