well done mate. that's one good looking sammy. a BIG thumbs up

sounds like a good day apart from no kingies. What are tailor like smoked ?

could not catch any squid so yakkers were second choice

I was downrigging yakkers trying to get a Kingy

Anyone do any good on the harbour today ?. I saw a few of the regulars around Nth Head but didn't see any action. I was out on the kayak and put in a fair bit of effort for zilch . BTW, I've come up with a name for a new TV show, "It's called How the %@*% did that happen". It never ceases to amaze what can happen on the water.

Hi, Has anyone ever fished in the Launceston area of Tassie. I'm spending a few days there and wondering if it's worth taking some gear down. I dont have any fly tackle but do have bream/flattie etc gear. Any advice with be great. Wobbler

I saw a heap of Sambo's thrashing in a school about 100 mts of Manly Wharf on Thursday afternoon about 5PM. They must be coming in late. There was a couple of kayakers, two boats trying to get some of the action but could not see anyone pulling them in.

Fished around the heads on Friday morning and had no luck. Tried trolling all sorts of plastics, hard bodies, deep divers and even a fly out of the Kayak but not a bite. Did not see any surface or bird action, went home very dissappointed. Was anyone else out on Friday and how did you go ?.

Nice looking Sambo there Wigg, They sure love those white soft plastics. What's a DR ?

nice looking fish. well done

Went down with all the info even though the tide was not ideal to give it a go. Got onto the water 8:00 and tried the sandy Beach opposite the ramp with a plastic in Killer Tomato but no luck. Pulled up under the bridger and cast a few plastic and a couple of blades still no luck. Had some salted Bonito on the other line in case something just happened along but zero. Paddled further upstream and tried several areas but not a thing. Tried everything bar dynamite and nothing. Did not see any movement in the water at all. There was a fisho in a boat near the bridge but he was having no luck as well. On way back there was guy taking his new Hobie out and giving it a run. Chatted and he said that he had been talking to a Kayak dealer who had a stall at the Sydney boat show and he said they had taken deposits for about 80 and they hope to hit the 100 mark after the undecided test them. The sport is definitely on the increase. But all was not lost, it was a beautiful day on the water and a greart day for a paddle. It's hard to believe that this area is in the middle of Sydney. Have attached a few shots from the Kayak

I give mine to a neighbour who makes a thick curry soup. Adds rice to the dish and it tastes fantastic.

G'Day Tan, Cheers, Yeah I ate one, salted two for bait, gave one to my neighbour and two to a mate who has been mentoring me on the art of fishing. Think like a fish he's always saying.

Nice looking fish, well done.

well done. Good fishing, great report and good photo's.
