fishing at seisa

at the caravan park you buy a long rig that has heaps of little hooks on it.
You go to the jetty and dab for livebait, just copy what the blacks are doing...
Then put on a decent size hook (4.0) and throw it out with medium weight on it and wait,,,, many diff types of fish could attack it,,, including mackeral...
Use a fishing rod with all this above..

When last at Seisha some local contractors were using 12mm rope, a short chain as a leader & a butchers hook with a 4lb fish as bait. Very entertaining watching 5 blokes trying to drag several sharks all the way up onto the pier. Needless to say no one else was catching anything :-)

We used a cast net for live bait. Took a bit to learn but lots of fun when you get the hang off it. I even caught a queenie in it. We simply put the livies on the hook un weighted, lets them swim more freely than weighted.
Use heavy line, we got busted off on 80 pnd braid. Most just use a handline with 100 pnd mono on it. As for fish you can get Mackeral, long toms, queenies, sharks and really big groupers.
On an outgoing tide drift a live bait out a fair way for shark or big mackeral. Or drop a livie down near the jetty. Problem around the jetty is the fish know they can bust you off on the pylons so hard to get them out.
Have fun.

Yep, like the others said, unweighted live sardine you caught by jigging or castnet.I hook it through the eyes. Play the fish till it tires and you have less chance of it getting around the pylons. Work it around to the beach or the ferry landing. if it is a queenfish, trevally or with luck a mackeral, grab it by the tail. Try to get a spot at either end of the jetty, depending on the tide as the run can be swift. Sunset/sunrise are good times.

It was years ago when I was there, but I came along with my rod and reel and was the only one with the gear. The locals all had big round plastic hand lines.
Beer was pretty dear and I was drinking light but I saw three empty Vic bitter cartons swim by. Must have been floats.
