Thanks mate! Sounds to me like it's about time I invested in a tinny or something!

Nice haul! Quick question, a few people have told me that there's decent fishing around "The Drums" at Botany Bay - I've got no idea where that is - is it somewhere that's only accessible by boat, or is it somewhere I can fish by driving/walking? I understand if you don't want to give away exact fishing spots but a general idea would be nice, I don't have a boat and would like to go find somewhere with a little land-based action around Botany.

Thanks a lot for the assistance everyone, I really appreciate it. Looking forward to getting out there with a new setup soon

Thanks a lot guys, perhaps I will look at the Starlo Stix Squidgy Spin Light 722 2pc 2-4kg rod, and the 2000 Daiwa Exceler Plus with some 6lb Fireline instead. GoFish is a little out of my way unfortunately, else I would be happy to stop in.

Hi All, I've recently started to get back into fishing, and I purchased a crappy Shakespeare Catalyst 6'6" 3-6kg Rod & Reel Combo to start off with. It was enough to get me started but since using my friends G.Loomis Rod & Daiwa Advantage Reel Combo, I've come to realize that better gear would be money well spent. I mainly go fishing out at Narrabeen Lakes off the shore, or off the shore around Sydney Harbour. I'm not into Rock or Beach Fishing but may occasionally go out on a small boat. I'm not chasing the huge ones just moderately sized fish. Decent sized Bream, etc.. the usual common stuff. I want to spend under $300 for a new Rod & Reel Combo including some line to go with. I would like to keep it 2-piece so its easy to fit in the car, but wouldn't mind allowing for slightly heavier fish. I came up with this Combo and would like to know your thoughts if it's suitable for my application, or if I should perhaps go with different specifications: Reel: Daiwa Exceler Plus 3000 150yds/16lb Rod: Shimano Starlo Stix Squidgy Spin Heavy 702 2pc 4-8kg Line: Fireline Crystal 14lb Am I on the right track? Advice appreciated! Regards, Ryan
