Seaway Quick Report Wednesday 7th December 2011
Quick Seaway summary from this morning, 7 bigeyes 53cm to 65cm on poppers, top fun seeing them explode all over the poppers. A few tailor 40cm to 56cm on poppers and minnows, striped tuna up to 55cm feeding in the middle near the front of the walls and inside the seaway but a bit flighty, landed a couple, lost a few more. Other than that some sporadic surface feeding by other fish, not sure what they were. Plenty of bait around and fish on the sounder but I reckon the wind and rain is making them sulk a bit, most of the bait was down deep. First morning the wind drops I reckon the fish will be all over it. A bit lumpy and windy but very fishable. Water temps between 22.3 & 23.8 degrees. Full report later on in the week.

Hi Jason, depends on what you want to do. Some good lures are Rapala XR10 minnows, 20gram chrome twisties and Rapala Skitter Pop 9’s. As for bait livies work best in the seaway, a standard sinker and trace rig works fine. There’s plenty of detailed info in the posts on the site.

Wayno, that was the time, around 4am. Yes the tides make a big difference, there is always more activity around a run in tide than a run out but you will catch fish on both tides, the locations and techniques are a bit different though.

Good Morning Craig,
Firstly I love the reports, info and pics. Your website is usually the first one I check out in the morning to see if you have been out and how you went. My mates and I are justing getting into fishing with the boys just picking up a tinnie. I was hoping you could help us out and give us a few tips on what lures, poppers and rigs we should be using if fishing the seaway or broadwater. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Jason
