Went for a sesh yesterday at queens with my uncle and some friends and we got onto some awsome fish. Trevalys ranged between 30cm - 55cm+, pinkies ranged between 32cm - 46cm, I also got a squid too but ditched the squidding when the fish started firing up, we got few nice salmon along with tommy roughs kept a few for bait released the rest . All fish caught on pilchard cutlets and chicken breast fillets cur into thin strips. Left them biting as we ran out of bait, many others there all landing the same on same bait choices. Rig of choice was a simple double drop rig constructed from 20lb lead, 1/0 gamma octopus hooks and a 4oz snapper sinker to slow down the drift from currents. Alot of fun as it was a fish a cast often 2 fish getting pulled up at once with double drop rig. Hope everyone els are enjoying the freedom of fishing again. Thanks for reading and goodluck everyone
what a session mate! just wondering did you get these on the incoming or outgoing tide cheers

Got them on both, best time would be 2 hrs after each side of the tide. Best run was actually on the low end of the tide.

Glad you got a good feed mate, so much fun when they're on fire. I wish they allow us to fish off the rock groin just on the other end of the ferry, unfortunately it's prohibited but looked like an amazing spot when I did a recon scout around on foot.

This was not caught off the pier, it's in the harbour. Just walk to the closer end where the ferry is and if you get a small spot there just drop your bait into the man made channel where all the boats go through. The water there is deep and it can run fast but if you time the tide correctly then it will allow you a 2 hr window to fish before the current picks up. Soft plastic is prob the better option since it's packed, you could walk all along there and flick little curl tails or berkley turtle back worms and you'll get some solid fish. Goodluck, all the best and I hope you get a good feed mate
