fishfight Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 How to catch these surfacing fish?...............Aside from using Dynamite!I was at Hamilton fishing around 9:30pm yesterday, and explored few spot. I Witness small Fish surfacing everywhere at night. Some people were using worms on bobber to try to catch them, but no luck . I tried with small spoon lures , and no luck as well. I also saw carp just swimming 2-3 ft below water surface. My regular spot at Dejardine canal was sealed off , so I do not know where to fish for carp over there. 5 years ago, I landed couple of sheepheads using spoon. I tried every year at least once and never got one again.At one spot, The locals told me the fish were perch surfacing, when I went to another spot, other locals told me they were silver bass surfacing. Some of the fish were larger then a lb creating big splash. One guy said he landed a sheephead days ago, while another buy said he landed a channel cat while carp fishing two weeks ago,There were hardly any wind, nice calm waters, bright sky and stars visible everywhere, with 3/4 full moon. Temp was roughly around 15 degrees, and mosquitoes or bugs starting to be a nuisance.Water level was at least 4-5 feet higher than in the past, but fishable. I am estimating the water depth where I was fishing would be around 15- 25 feet deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-hamilton Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 for the most part, the vast majority of the surfacing fish in the harbour at dusk are bullhead catfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
