St georges basin

[Micko201]

Caught a few flatties early today walking the banks. Still finding it hard to nail a few nice bream. Anyone else having any luck on the bream????

[Green Hornet]

I was getting a few on surface lures over the patchy ribbon weed banks when the wind was up but doing better fishing plastics on the deep edge of the drop off.
Far too many boats for me at the moment, I won't be heading back out there until well after new year.

[Micko201]

Your doing better then I am. I through surface lures , hard bodies, plastics, flick baits, got nothing but flatties. Couldn't even pick up a whiting.


Yeah I have left the boat undercover too, just been putting the waders on & walking the banks

[Hi Tech]

Had a flick in the Basin yesterday and holy crap,could not believe the amount of boat traffic.Not much bream wise on the surface,but got a couple of decent flatties on the drop offs.

[Micko201]

Yeah people all over the place. Too much traffic for me.

I'll stick to the shore line & c if I can have some luck that way, I'll need some the way Ive been going

[Green Hornet]

The boat traffic on the Basin is crazy at this time of year.
When its like this I get the kayak out and fish a couple of tiny creeks that few people know about.

[Micko201]

That's the way, unfortunately I dont have that luxury

I don't mind walking the banks, catching fish always makes it more enjoyable.

[Green Hornet]

These creeks are tiny and I've never seen any one else fish them.
Pretty hard to get to but hold some good fish that make it worth the effort.
Certainly too overgrown to walk the banks.
I don't think they would cope with too much pressure, which is why I only fish them christmas and easter and tell no one.

Have you heard of google earth?? people will find them.

Micko or GH,

Anyone know if the prawns are there at present, or are they few and far between.

Cheers

Mate it's all over the place out on the basin at the moment, all species are very patchy. Glad to hear your catching a few wading though. Early morning would be the shot for a few bream wading, surface lures or hidden weight prawn patterns, try straight through 3lb fluro or long leaders mate.

And I know for a fact there are some big prawns getting about but I'm unsure how many there are

Then I shall say no more.
Probably said too much already.
