Caliso Bay

#1 Post by Clive O Driscoll »

Drove down for Ferrypoint but a good few there so decided to have a cast at Caliso, never fished it before.
A beautiful spot, but again Dogs, 5 all up and 2 on the First cast, doubled up. Fab Sky

Only had a few Rag, Squid and a couple of Mackerel, fished the last 2 hours of the flood and 2 of the ebb, had heard that it was a very snaggy area, didn't get snagged till the last hour, lost 2 Full pennel rigs, and all my shock leader attached to my Mainline on Both of my Multi's :(

Great photo. Always remember the weed. From the photos looks like it still collects it! Checked a beach up here yesterday and it looked like an obstacle course...

Hugo, what did you get there? Bass? Used you spin off the rocks or bait of the beach, any tips as it is a lovely steep profile and id say since it is so snaggy, that there must be a few decent fish hanging around??

Hi Clive, I have had some good bass sessions on that beach, the rocks to the left around the middle. I only got them in August and especially September some pollock asweel all on lures.

Thanks Anto, yes there was another man and his dog went over to the rocks on the left, I was just next to the rocks there, but didn't see if he caught anything, will give it a go with the lure rod. But I also had some great advise on here via pm and " Lead Lifts " will be part of Bait setup from now on, I had never even heard of them...
