Heading for hillarys today
Submitted by mucsavage on Thu, 2012-06-21 10:50
Hows it going all,
I'm after getting a half day off work, need a break so im heading to hilarys today for a few hours.
Just wondering has anyone any reports over the last few days?
Is it worth my while to try Ocean reef maybe?? Any suggestions would be great.
Im not heading away for another hour or so. So any updates in that time would be great. Cheers.

Hey mate,if you travel a
Hey mate,
if you travel a little bit further, head upto mindarie marina.
I find it alot more productive than hillarys and more relaxing. I have landed some good size herring and chopper tailor there lately on small twistys, and saw a bloke rip in a nice pan 2-3kg pinky from the seawall point.
Good luck!

Hows it goin Clarky.
Thanks a million for the heads up on that.. I am actually living up in joondalup, so mindarie would be closer for me,
I have baits in the freezer ready to go, white bait, mullies, and a small bit of occy.
Not much on the lures sides of things, but am willing to travel for a few before I head up to hit the water.
Would you suggest hitting the seawall point casting towards the harbour or casting out towards ocean sides of it..
I am sorry for the stupid questions, I am new to the area and am trying to get my first catch of anything anywhere here.
Cheers.

if you are fishing the point,
if you are fishing the point, cast directly north. I am lead to beleive there is a hole out there that holds some sizeable fish. and if all else fails, i will guarantee you a stingray haha

report
How do, Im back with report from yesterday.
Failed miserably, got one or 2 takes, no solid hook ups. Not much happening around. Was speaking to a few other anglers saying nothing happening with them also.
Was there as the tide was heading out, seen a few sizable fish patrolling the rocks in front of me following my berly trail, not interested in my occy or mulies.
Tried floating and bottom ganged bait. tried a few twisties also and nothing.
What am I doing wrong at all. Any help greatly received.!!
PS: leemo did you catch all them rays you were on about.. ;) haha

It can be like that
Probably did everything right. It's the way it is unfortunatly.I was up there a week or so ago and it was going off in a big way. Tried the day after and zilch. No fun catching rays on the rocks. landing them without killing them is not an easy task.

True
The joys of fishing eh, On and off like a light.
I am thinking of heading down there again tomorrow morning for high tide. Yes I agree with you trying to get a ray up on the rocks without harming them. But to be honest Id be happy to even catch something now..
Have you been down fishing anywhere near two rocks or yanchep recently? Just curious as I live near by and havent had the chance/knowledge of the area to go hit there for a session.

Try Club Capricorn
Always a chance there if you can get a spot. It's a great place to throw some twisties and poppers. I hear Yanchep Lagoon is showing some action. Further north the weed is a problem at the moment. Your in some pretty good territory though so keep at it.

Cheers for the heads up on that.
If your heading up this way anytime and need someone to laugh at while you catch fish. give me a shout a day in advance. I will try to get up with ya if you wanted.
Always good to get out with a fellow fisher that knows whats goin on.
