NOW thats a fish... Well done... SERIOUSLY, where is your arm

Ohhh dear, how jealous am i now... Well done on your first Glenbawn outing... Nice fat healthy BASS but that YELLA is on steroids... Looks like its going to burst...

GREAT trip Grant... Thats a nice catch, especially for the little one... Smile on his face says it all.... Thanks for sharing....

WOW is all i can say.. GREAT REPORT..... Catch of the year, i say!!!!!

Nice work fellas yet again... I must come with you one day, looks tops... Congrats!!!

HAHHAHAHHA nice work Great photo... I cant wait for my nephew to grow up....

Hello Fishraider, My girlfriend and i are heading up the coast to Nambucca Heads for the first time. I will be bring my light gear tackle, flicking plastics, as usual. Need advice, if possible, to find out what i should target and preferably a location. Any advise via return post (via PM) would be much appreciated. Regards, Joey

HAHHAHHAHA with that kind of option i would not think twice either... WELL done on another successful Bass adventure..... You need to take me out on a kayak session... Never done it before!!! Daniel and I are looking at getting a couple of Hobies sooner or later

I too wonder if there are any bigger ones.... Bigger ones meaning 100cm+ HAHAHHA nice photo capture by NICK himself.... Made the Jewie look x10 times bigger NOT as big as yours

With Jews at chipping norton, the only tide i caught then was on the RUN OUT TIDE. Aim for the rock walls, drop offs, and dont be afraid to work the plastic really fast (hence the heavy jig head), as the water is warm at 20 degrees and the fish/bait fish are very active.

HAHHAHAHA the sad thing is, "I agree", thats a mammoth of a Mullet.... You can rest a STUBBY on its back

HAHHAHAHA please do so... It will motivate me to work LESS and fish MORE....

WOW nice report.... Take me with you next time.. Congrats.... I just recently came back from Las Vegas BUT the miss didnt allow me to fish

IN Daniels eyes IT WAS A JEWIE :biggrin2: :biggrin2:

The other day went out for a morning session with Nick targeting Jewies... Never caught a Jewie during daylight hours so i was a bit skeptical, while Nick was doubting whether there were any Jewies at ALL in Chipping Norton. I was determined to prove him wrong.... Using my light gear as usual, 4 kg rod, 1000 reel, 4 lb braid, 10lb leader, fat jig head, we started working the rock walls. We got smacked a couple of times but failed to produce.. BUT persistancy paid off. My first Jewie during day light hours, giving the reel a good workout... NOT the biggest jewie BUT plenty of fun on light gear... Rest of the day prodcued many flatties and at the end, concluded our session with another Jewie... Thanks heaps to Nick for the opportunity, NOW he has an excuse to fish the local waters more and more PS - Apologies MICK for MMSing you photos of the fight caught, while you were at work, now you know how i feel See you on the water soon...

GOOD on ya Daniel... The second photo says a thousand words.... You expected a Jewie and ended up being a Mullet You look disappointed

I HATE YOU, in a good way WELL done yet again... I may see you on the water soon, save some jewies for me

Great report PMAK.... I love the photos especially with the little ones... I recentley became an uncle to a healthy baby boy... Cant wait for the little one to grow up so i can take him fishing....

WELL done Pete yet again.... SLOW DAY "landed a fish every 2nd to 3rd cast" .. Thats not a slow day... Id be happy with that... A great session.... Thanks for sharing... Now time to find sometime and hit botany bay...

WOW what an adventure, days and days of fishing Some great looking fish, must have given you some stick.... The smile in the photos say a thousand words... Hope to catch my first Barra some time in the near future. Well done, great report.

HEALTHY looking bass.... Nice work... I so need to get myself a Kayak and join the adventure....

NICE work Hodgey.... You definitely know how to spoil with a seafood buffet...

NICE work fellas, Hawkesbury is showing some great results lately....

THANKS fellas, i keep on telling you ITS my green jumper that brings the luck its not me.... SORRY fellas for the lack of communication BUT been stuck at work and not having enough time to organise a session... Will keep touch.... We need to orgnaise something soon....

Hello raiders, Last minnute decision, went with my miss, and another couple to The Entrance for a couple of nights.. Weather was predicted terrible BUT it didnt stop me from bringing my flick stick.. Upon arrival it brought back memories from the last Fishraider Social Saturday morning, my mate and i sneaked out of our bedrooms and ran down to the beach for a morning flick. Surf & the wind was medium to heavy. Using a 4kg rod, 1000 reel, 4lb braid, 10 lb leader i wacked on a healthy 1/2 oz (14g) jig head with a squidgy paddle tail.. My mate laughed at me and shook his head Many of the beach fisherman holding their 4-5m heavy duty rods where questioning what we were doing with a whip stick.. By the look on their faces they were laughing amongst each other.... 10 minutes into the session and i was on, running down the beach, with the current, reel screaming trying to pull out the sucker... Reel was set to 80-90% drag and line was still pealing off.... LOVE a good salmon fight, on light gear, especially in the surf Good 3-4 minutes later i had to skull drag the fish in, waiting for a wave to beach the fish.... I was afraid if i pull the rod any harder, it would snap into pieces, i made a decision to grab the line, and straight away it snapped, lucyk the fish was already beached & gave me enough time to grab it before the next wave hit the bank... Next couple of casts i was on again, this time the fight took longer ONCE again there was i, running down the beach, chasing the bloody fish, GREAT way to exercise Short time later 5 jet skiis came and started doing AMAZING jumps, spins, 360's, on the waves, had cameras mounted on their helmets... NEVER seen anything like it... The fellas were literally flying.... They must have scared the fish off, so we packed up and left... That same day in the late afternoon, i went by myself, the beach was littered with fisherman... ONCE again walking past the fisherman, i was questioned several times, "do you catch fish on that thing?"... I didnt know whether to answer or ignore their questions,so i giggled... 5 minutes into the session i was on and this time with a PB flatty caught off the beach... Caught on the same gear but this time with a plastic slug... Measured 66cm and put up a great fight... Walking past the fisherman with dinner in my hands, nothing was said as i walked passed
