Docklands 5th August 2018

[Sinsemilla]

Just before i went away i was doing a job not far from the city. I haven't fished docklands in years so i thought i'd give it a crack on a few nights after work.

Using plastics and 1/12th to 1/16th jig heads with 6lb leader i worked around the pylons and boats having a ball catching pinkies on 2-4kg gear. A couple nights i ended up with close to 15 pinkies to around 2kg. Most fish caught just on or after dark.

Now i scratched that itch ill be concentrating on the trout in the coming weeks..

Cheers, Anth

Some very nice size pinkies here Anth!
They would have been awesome fun with the gear that you were using!!!
Nice work and great pics :thumbsup:

Cheers mate. I had a blast and was more than happy christening a new rod i bought on them. I got a Daiwa Sol 702LXS 2-4kg. What a beautiful rod for just over $100 delivered off dinga.

Cheers, Anth

Great fish on that gear. Looks like it would have been a nice tussle.

I’m planning to fish docklands on Sunday morning. I’ve never fished there before.
Hopefully I get a similar result.
Is there a place to park early in the morning (about 6:30 AM) for free very close to the water where it would be worth start flicking some plastics? I’m more of a bait fisho, what do you think would give me the best chance of catching something?

Thanks in advance.

There's some free parking along collins st towards the library early/late on Sundays. For bait, I like to go unweighted and drop pilly slices down next to the pylons. Or bread for bream, but that's cheating
