Anyone up for a fish tonite at longpoint?
Submitted by BritBrad on Wed, 2010-06-30 15:29
hey....
im going longpoint with a friend fishing, hoping for some shark or something, anyone else fancy tagging along??? winds seem to be down tonite, so should be a good fish :) tide starts rolling back in at about 7pm, so with a bit of luck might get some decent fish or shark on the tide turn.

Is that Bercher point.. basically the furthest point going out east at the bottom of the wanbro sound.. or is it fishing into the 16m drop off just in front of where the carpark used to be.?.
i could be up for that tonight. flick me your number . 042 902 3845.

i havnt got a clue, i think they started it like 5 weeks ago or so... they have the end bit nearly finished, but they havnt finished the start bit :/ im thinking its mainly for fishing, as there is no jetty there.....

ive only been in aus for
ive only been in aus for like 4 months... so havnt heard anything about what they doing, i dont see any footing there though for a boat ramp, could be wrong though, would be a great place to launch ya boat off though :D
ive been there about 5 times now, and it seems to be prety good, had a fair few banjos off there, and shovel nose, and like i said 2 snapped on heavy line, so activity is good, if you willing to sit around for a few hours. :)

The 2 snapped on heavy line
The 2 snapped on heavy line sounds interesting,,good luck next time you get down there.
By the way starting the end of the peir/ramp sounds weird,,

Yer its a new boat ramp.
Yer its a new boat ramp. Looks like the pier goes all the way out to the deep water. Its gonna be really good. Me and a mate went down there and sussed it out a few weeks ago.

yeah they started the end of
yeah they started the end of the ramp first, i think for safety reasons so poeple cant go on it untill its finished :/
in a way im not looking forward to it beeing built, as i got a feeling its going to be over fished! i think the new pier is gonna be totaly mowed out :/ so gonna be a little frustrating if it shy's off the sharks and mulaway etc.
yeah ive planned for a fish 2moz insted coz my mate cant make it, so we will be down there from about 6PM ish :)
hopefully there wont be too much wind, last 2 times ive been its been a bit windy so difficult to hit the sand bar on cast.
ill prob see ya down there 2moz then and anyone else who wants to come :D
i got ya number so will give ya a txt when i get down and set up .

fisherman1992, give me a
fisherman1992, give me a shout when ya next down there, sorry to hear it wasnt a good fish for u! ive been out onite and port kenedy, not even a bite!! didnt even get a bite on the small crappy rod and thats saying something, had 2 big roads out there and nothing :( very dissapointing!
yeah longpoint def has potential. we had a fiar few bites between us on the big hear, but the lads about 100 yard away had nothing, lol. its amazing what burleying up can do! haha
Bungel - i didnt even know ya had a birds nest lol u should have give me a shout, would have helped ya sort it! didnt u get a few runs but missed em coz ya reel was playing up? shame :/ yeah, next time u come bring a spair reel with some decent line on it :D helps for a quik change over incase something goes wrong.
diehard - i had around 300 yard on 50lb braid on with about 12 foot of 80lb mono leader. lol took the lot! damn thing wasnt stopping for nothing, and the reel was getting fairly hot with the amount of drag on the clutch! lol
shame my mate didnt have it on his line, i think he has around 700 yard on his real! lol, so might have stood a chance!
