Hey all, headed up to windamere dam for 4 days to catch some yellowblly with the girlfriend first day there was out fished by the girlfriend 3-2 plus she caught the biggest weighing in at 9.5lbs second day just the one fish and it rained all day third day not one fish was caught had a few follows on the lures but not one would take them forth day decided to pack up and head home early anyways enjoy the photos Cheers Bustoff

Hey Mate, Using him for bait put it in a freezer bag chucked it in the freezer probably use it when i go back down there next i was gonna head back down to wollongong and have another bash today but its too bloody windy Cheers Bustoff

Hey all, Thought i would go down to wollongong today and try my new Daiwa Sea Jigger off windang island put out a pilchard on my rod under a float and it kept mysteriously getting pulled and when i went to wind it in it would dissapear so straight away thought SQUID!!!! so on goes the squid jig and on the second cast picked up a nice squid flicked the squid jig around for another hour with no luck no fish caught either besides little peckers Cheers Bustoff

Its apparently illegal to use opera house traps up and down the south coast because they reckon platypus get caught in the traps But you can use them in rural NSW but they have to be fitted with a 90mm metal ring but i found the best traps to use the days are those crab drop nets and atleast using these you wont get fined Cheers Mark

Hey, Thanks for the info mate

Johnno, Yeah we caught ten that day that size they make a top feed when they are that big so much meat in the tails and claws they arent your normal yabbies there spiny freshwater crays Cheers Mark

Hey all just bought myself a new Daiwa sea jigger beach rod today and i really cant believe how light they are cant wait to test it out this friday down at the beach great looking rod has anybody else got one if so what do you think of them??? Cheers Mark

I was kinda looking at the daiwa sea jigger range the 10'3 rod but was having trouble trying to match up a reel to keep me under the 300 dollar mark and thanks didnt even think about looking at a silstar rod

Hi Guys, As the title says im after a beach combo for under 300 all my beach rods are over 12ft and im after something a little smaller to catch some bream and whiting maybe the occasional sambo if it comes along can anyone suggest a good rod and reel i dont mind stretching the budget a little over 300 but not much cheers Mark

i cant believe what i saw when i watched this vid i wanna catch a rainbow like this monster

I actually had the whole beach to myself it was great im gonna head back down there tomorrow hopefully have it all to myself again looks like its gonna be another beautiful sunny day cant wait

Went for a fish this arvo down wollongong off warrilla beach set up the 14ft beach rod was using pillies as bait fished from 12-430 had a few good hits managed to pick up one sambo measured 57cm and weighed 1.4kgs put up a great fight and some spectacular leaps out of the water it was a great day to be sitting back on a beach fishing with the sun out.

Just after some good landbased spots around botany bay or la perouse im planning on heading there on saturday this weekend Thanks Mark

does anybody know if its any good to fish lake woronora??? or is it illegal???

Cheers mate whats usually the best size lures to hook them up on most of my chrome slicers a pretty large or will they take anything no matter the size

Hi all just wondering what lures you all use when your trolling for tailor??? thanks Mark

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of some spots around the macarthur area for some freshwater yabbies

Went up to windamere dam for the weekend camping with the girlfriend camped at a place called cudgegong waters great campsite and very friendly people would recommend it to anyone anyway headed out early friday morning walked for a few hours trying a few spots with spinnerbaits,stump jumpers and jackals with no luck so decided to switch over to bait fishing with some yabbies first cast in and im on had a brief struggle and the fish darted in to the snags and PING so rigged back up put another live yabby out no bites for ages so threw a handful of worms out and put my other rod out with another yabby on it again no bites for atleast an hour so decided to pack up and start the long walk back to the campsite as i was bringing my last rod in got a massive hit and the drag started singing i tried to keep this one from going in to the snags but no luck within seconds again PING so after that called it a day packed up and as i was about to start walking back one of the other campers not to far from me come past in his boat and asked if i wanted a lift what a god send saved me atleast an hour and a half long treck back to the campsite talked to the guy asked if he had any luck he said there were a ton of the fish on the sounder down deep but he couldnt get them to bite he asked how i did told him i had two bust offs and he asked what was i fishing with i said 10lb braid and he just laughed and said i shouldnt have bothered i should atleast bring 30lb next time anyways next time i head up there ive got a bit more knowledge to take some heavier gear up for these big yellas Mark
