Hi guys i usually just bait fish but im going away on the june long weekend up to windamere dam and would like some advise on some lures and a good rod and reel setup to take up there my budgets about 400-500 i hear generally you can catch Yellowbelly,murray cod,silver perch and the occasional trout and i have another fishing trip planned for the october long weekend up to lithgow when the trout season starts so a few good lures for trout would be good thanks in advance Mark

I remember a fishing trip with my dad when i was 12 we went to st vincents gulf at one of our cousins holiday shaks we went fishing out on the boat and caught just under 20 legal king george whiting in a day we ate them for days and never got sick of them best tasting fish ive ever had

Bump

Just want to know if anyone has ever gone fishing in Bents Basin and what did you catch and is it worth taking the yabby traps??? thanks in advance Mark

I think its Nepean up around near the railway bridge when your on your way too menangle

Not sure i think they are native they taste just like yabbys but they grow twice to three times the size and are really aggressive Mark

Hey all, never been fishing for jewfish before but we went out fishing last night headed out from oatley boat ramp at 6pm got the boat to tom uglys shortly after anchored up put a few rods out one with fresh squid one with a slimey strip and one with with a live yakka and i had my little baitcaster out with a peeled prawn on it just trying to catch some more livies time passed by and not even a bite then my baitcaster went off just thought it was a very nice size bream when it was coming to the side of the boat then realised i had just caught my first jewfish it measured 42cm i was stoked to say the least first time out and i caught one after that it was quiet still tried a few other spots and then decided to head home to a warm bed hopefully next time its gonna be alot bigger but for a first one im still stoked sorry no photos but with all the rush to get out the door forgot the digital

Hi All, Was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to catch these things i went to my usual spot which i havent been to for about 5 years and only caught two and im not talking about yabbies but spiny freshwater crayfish the big suckers im trying to catch a few more to put into a tank and maybe try and breed them if possible i was a bit dissapointed yesterday to only catch two after 6 hours so if anyone knows of a good spot please let me know ps, ill post some pics up of the ones i caught yesterday thanks in advance Mark

Hi all, just need some advice on whether or not its worth buying a Lowrance X126DF fish finder i only fish around botany bay and occasionally go out only a few klms off shore weather permitting of course my mate bought one for $249 and ive seen it advertised instore for around $500-$550 he wants to sell it to me for what he bought it for as his mrs didnt know about his purchase and went a bit crazy its still in the box brand new i just want some advice on whether its worth buying or not as i havent used fish finders at all and wouldnt know what to look for in one thanks
