ill be there tonight ill be trying squid i just bought, frozen, but should still be ok i hope. high tide. ill try to find the hole you are talking about.

im going to have to buy a "JEW rod and try and find this place of yours what sorrt of gear are you guys using to catch jewfish? i heard 80lb test line !! wow!~

yeah you dont EAT the fish you catch there right? i worry that even the water at greenwich is to dirty to eat from.

thats amazing for landbased! what a catch i might have to go out for a fish tonight and see what i can score

yeah pretty crap, i wont do that again tho. just low beam on and off next time. well i went last night and i was on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!! within a minute of tossing in the firrst fillet., i had a bream. the size of my knife.. ill dig up a pic , but if anyone here has an emerson commander, it was the same size. i tossed it back cos it wasnt what i was looking for. whats the legal size on them anyway? 30cm? then i helped another guy bring in a 40cm trevally pretty sweet. beautiful fish, i caught another bream and let that oner go as well as it was even smaller than the last one, then i caught a yellow fin/tail i think. one of those very pretty blazck and silver ones, and my brother caught a small trevally

ill tell you how i go tonight. i was thinking i would berley up the water with about 16 pilchards all cut up in bits then whack a whole pilchard in the middle of it.

I was at Bobbin head yesterday morning and evening having a little pre and post work fishing session. using some old squid i found in the freezer i caught a sole or a flounder thingy at 0605 hours. stupidly i thought it would be poor tasting and not much flesh so i threw it back, but apparently it was a lemon sole? and it was a good size, i estimate around 20CM but i will find a picture and u can try to judge (and tell me what it was ) in the evening i brought down 4Kg of pilchards and sat for a few hours with no real action using a whole pilchard.(i was going for something big) at about 8pm i changed down to about a 6 bait holder hook and a little fillet of pilchard and that got me some bites which made me happy and then i caught a small silver bottom black topped fish,(dunno what it was) but it was to small it was 15cm. so i threw that back.. no luck for me , but i will try again tonight. oh and i got booked on the way home for flashing my lights at oncoming cars to warn them of cops up the road.

what sort of SP was it that you used? i am going to start using SP instead of bait and i have no clue what they go for.

i have caught squid there once. it is nice to fish there but im not sure how many large fish are out there.. apparently there are large ones under the boats. where at bobbin head is the best spot to fish by the way, i went friday night and i was on the marina side and was on the point-thing and i got one bite all night. and caught nothing. :< prawns FTL

say i was going to a new spot and i didnt know what fish were around there.. what sort of a rig would i have as a sort of "general/all-purpose" rig" to chuck in to see whats swimming about?

thanks heaps i was just looking around my desk for a cork or something to keep each rig in another question for you. what type of fish would i be looking at catching realistically in sydney keeping in mind i am landbased? i mostly go to bobbin head and apple tree bay, but i might go to clifton gardens tomorrow night or greenwich boat ramp.

yes i just did that there are LOADS of pictures so im tying up a flathead rig now i was just wondering if there were some local rigs that work well.

Hi there, I would like to know of any rigs i could make that will help me net certain fish. for example i have heard for bream in calm water to use.. the mainline with a ball sinker then a swivel then 30-50cm leader and a long shank hook can anyone share some rigs they use because that is pretty much my entire Repertoire. sorry if this has been asked before. Richard

hi there guys, sorry to invade your thread. can i ask a question though? i am going to head to clifton gardens tonight for the first time (in the dark) as i am totally new to this, what bait should i be using? the biggest hooks i have are 2/0 or something. and i have 15lb line will this be enough for me to catch anything decent sized?

i was out squidding that day too, in apple tree bay, not a thing! just a green leatherjacket and a rat. that vapourtrail was pretty noticeable wasnt it?
