I only wish i had taken a photo of my fathers 1988 90hp Johnson after it over heated , & cost me 3 days fishing at Port Sephens from salt blocked arteries . I certainly flush mine after that experience . Old age issue or bad maintainance management ?

Hey, great area for everything fishing......... water temp , & lure choice are just two elements that go into making a success of the day. Now North/ East of Broughton island is getting warm . I 've actually seen a marlin clear the water on the corner of the horse shoe at Boondelbah island , in late June !

Stix, thnx mate. I'm heading off in half an hour.

Bluecod , thnx for that mate

G'day Changa, She's a 5mtr Brooker cuddy cab with a deep v , 75hp Mariner , 6hp aux which gets the boat up on plane if we run into trouble, finder, GPS , EPIRB etc. The intention is weather permmiting to get amongst the bigger boys outside. We have booked in at South West Rocks Tourist park which has a boat ramp , but not sure what the go is....... We are geared up for 15kg , but as always depends on the weather. Cheers , Mick

G' day , Off to South West Rocks on Sun with me old mate Tuner (Mark). A pit stop for a few at Port Stephens with mum & dad etc. Little sis is on the job with a few muddies out of the creek at the back of her place for dinner Sunday night , then up early to get there for lunchtime Mon. What a wounderful life it is ! Any tips on South West Rocks ? Where to put the boat in etc ? Cheers , Mick

We tried a couple of runs 25 - 15mtrs & 15 -7mtrs in depth , so a stones throw on the closest run with smaller sized xmas trees in the mix. I tried the lures crazedfisherdude used for obvious reasons , but did'nt work for us. It's been a productive season so far , so i'm certainly not complaining. Off to South West Rocks on Sun with me old mate Tuner ( Mark ) . A pit stop for a few at Port Stephens with mum & dad etc. My sister rang me to say they caught some big muddies for dinner Sun night. What a wounderful life it is ! Any tips Cheers , Mick

G'day , Started out at 5.30am sharp, & headed east out of Port Hacking. Had limited options due to crew , Chucky 1 & 2 we all know what thats like, so stayed in closer than usual. Trolled the wave buoy off kurnell , out the front of Botany ,& back through to Bate bay for 0 result. The suprising thing is we saw only 2 fish on the finder in 4hrs of trolling. CRAZEDFISHERDUDE & crew have caught all the fish Tried different sizes, colours , shapes , patterns & speeds but nothing worked. Perfect day on the water with lots of good fun had with a couple of top blokes. Tunofun you did'nt miss too much. Plenty of mullet in the Hacking ranging 10 - 30cm. Cheers , Mick

Hey wdfish, Almost nearly there , but good to see you put them back . Another hard luck story on the jew hunt , had a couple of good solid runs & felt some good weight , but nothing stuck. Did'nt bother with the squid i used live bait instead. Thnx for the reply on my post

Planning a jew hunt Saterday night in the Dragons cave. Any squid about in the Port Hacking ? There was a couple of soapies around 2weeks back , but nothing to get fired up about. Shall report back next week..
