Fantastic Starlo... there is something great about catching big Tailor and Salmon in still water like that, we did similar in the lake at Merimbula years ago. Good fun !
Great video Starlo,,, love fishing in winter,,, short days, feels like 10am all day,,, no crowds,,, no big sea breeze at 11am,, can fish all day , plenty of fish.
Hey Starlo Great meet and greet last Thursday. Thanks for coming up to the lake and sharing with all the blokes at Swansea RSL.We need to see you back up here around Jan for a top water session on the flats.
Good to see the Lake producing so well. Great catches. I used to target bream off Pulbah Island, the home to some biggies. I would target jewfish in Newcastle Harbour, casting out behind vessels entering or leaving the harbour (back in the 90s). The churning water from the propellers stimulated feeding. Caught some beauties this way. Excellent vid!
Love the video mate 👌 well done so good to see somebody of you experience and knowledge of fishing in the flesh at the Ozfish talk really enjoyed it thankyou . Hope to see you back in lake mac legend 🙏
Awesome work Steve! Last year at Jerseyville on the Macleay River I ended up with a personal record of eight Mullaway on soft vibes in two hours thanks to a slow tide change, only schoolies but when it takes seven years trying to learn how to catch them I can’t complain, now ever time I head out I catch at least one nearly every trip now.
Yeah great management , send all the pros from a gigantic system like lake Mac & send them all down to the diminutive Tuggerah lakes system , we have observed those “ new “ professionals ring netting the weed beds with nets inside the channel ( illegal ) then them in the middle banging oars on their boats making sure they scare every last fish into the nets , something not done by the generations of existing pros fishing this system , these newbys don’t give a rats about the next generations of pros or rec fisherman to come . We have been keen recreational fishos on the Tuggerah lakes/entrance fishery since the late 80’s & although all seasons are different & a lot depends on the entrance channel being open to the sea for many species including blue swimmer crabs & prawns , in general , after many years of angling catch records , it is definitely showing a downward trend over time in species like dusky flathead . Lake Mac must have had a “ bigger voice “ or political clout to oust the pros from there & then by contrast Tuggerah had no say , keep chanting the great fishing & fisheries management you have been handed , whilst we will bemoan what they have done to what was once a little gem of a fishery on the verge of destruction by the powers that be , tight lines to you , now far more often in your neck of the woods than ours.
Epic day. Multiple species and non stop action. Here in South Africa we have a river called the breede river. (wide river translated) home to massive jewfish (unfortunately not as many as there used to be) as well as a large population of bull sharks. Google the river and cob (our name for this species) as well we have good populations of a fish called a spotted grunter. A highly sought after recreational fish. Very good to catch. A shy and timid fish that is a good fighter. They can be seen early mornings and evenings with their tails out of the water jetting mouthfuls of water down mud prawns u shaped burrows to expel the filter feeding prawns from their burrows on the mud flats at high tide. A beautiful fish and equally delicious. Highly prized amongst anglers. Thank you
Thanks so much for that! Yes, I've read about South African cob and your fascinating spotted grunter, which are related to our javelin fish (also sometimes called grunter). I will definitely study up on the Breede... sounds like a great waterway! Tight Lines.
Oh Steve I was waiting for another Lorde Howe Island special on that silver trevally and eat him live! YES, I have been following for a long time mate!🤣🤣
Thanks mate any tips on winter fishing round the area I’m finding if difficult I’ve had some lunch in a few places with raw peeled prawns but not much else is it winter ir am I doing something wrong very light set up small sinkers sometimes leader sometimes running and small hooks I use any winter tops for more success to Berle or not ??
We eat PLENTY of fish, as you’ll see if you watch many of my videos. But we only take what we can use and always stick to the rules. Several of the tailor were kept and eaten. The mulloway were under-sized.
That's an eater, Onya starlo been a while since Jews Took it hard in covid Plenty of lemons and honey and milk and honey , and good coffee tea , So I got a little car today, So I'll be working a 1-3kg then breaking to a 2-5kg raider, She's shiney
Great vid guys.. 🤙🤙🤙

A great days fishing in anyones language.
Agreed!
Shows you how a great fisheries management does for a waterway.👍
Yes it does!

Thanks!
What a great session. I wish we could keep the nets out of the Shoalhaven
Me too!

What a ridiculously good fishery.
Oh Steve I was waiting for another Lorde Howe Island special on that silver trevally and eat him live! YES, I have been following for a long time mate!🤣🤣
Ah! Great memories! Thanks.
Great video! Did you do any rock fishing while you were in the area?
Was that Dora creek boat ramp
No, the Croudace Bay ramp.
Thanks mate any tips on winter fishing round the area I’m finding if difficult I’ve had some lunch in a few places with raw peeled prawns but not much else is it winter ir am I doing something wrong very light set up small sinkers sometimes leader sometimes running and small hooks I use any winter tops for more success to Berle or not ??
@@mitchmcbride6053 winter is tough. But it’s nearly over. 😉 Hang in there…
@@StarloGetsReel thanks mate will do can’t wait to get out there
Do you guys not like eating fish> Sad to see you return quality meals.
We eat PLENTY of fish, as you’ll see if you watch many of my videos. But we only take what we can use and always stick to the rules. Several of the tailor were kept and eaten. The mulloway were under-sized.
That's an eater,
Onya starlo been a while since Jews
Took it hard in covid
Plenty of lemons and honey and milk and honey , and good coffee tea ,
So I got a little car today,
So I'll be working a 1-3kg then breaking to a 2-5kg raider,
She's shiney
Yes indeed!
Catching jewieson lures is for girls and kiddies! Man up and use dome real bait! Or stay home!
Whatever you reckon. I’ve caught plenty on bait and I know how I’d rather catch them.
