Hi Everyone !

This fish was picked up by a friend of mine. In fact it was the only fish that came out that morning according to what I heard... Parksboard was there to inspect Marlon's catch. Length 50cm - weight 1.5kg

nice fish for my standards, had one hooked just like that at snake park pier fishing for shad first throw then nothing ...

lost it with my 6 foot rod and line getting stuck in the mussel of the pier

sad ..

 

[ASHLEY]

it seems like those pompano are coming out everywhere.

 

5 of those came out at winkel two weeks back and four on sun on the bay of plenty pier in about 1 hour..........all were between 2 & 5 kilos

Thats great news. Whats the favourite bait for these fish?

 

[Kingfish]

I was using sardine fillet !!! wound up with lots of ghost cotton very unprofessionally, i guess they were very hungry

 

[ASHLEY]

baits in order of preference are

- mussel

-sealice

-pink prawn

 

then comes sardine, tjokka, combos, etc

Hi Nivi,

 

Also good baits are

sealice and cracker

pink prawn soaked in red food dye for more colour with cracker

also caught a 1kilo last year sometime on light tackle off the pier, used cracker as bait , wat a pull that thing gave me , i thort it was a nice size grunter or something , excellent fighter but dirty also he was heading strait under the pier.

Yep, a shoal of these fine fighters pulled in last w/end at St.Lucia. Sadly, in the frenzy quite a few small southerns were taken.... considering of course that these fish can attain quite a hectic mass. I know in the peak of Summer, Ledges throws out constant 3 - 5kg specimens.

All time favourites as mentioned....

Sealice/red prawn

Red prawn / chokka
