To tell you the truth I havent don't all that much blackfishing for many years - we spent 10 years living at Airlie Beach - no blackfish up there - but plenty of other fun species. We havent long retired & started caravaning - so I'm sure there is plenty of more blackfishing to come. I will let you know if I am ever coming to Forster as I would love to have a fish with you. Cheers

Hi Roberta I caught it on weed that we bought up with us from Avoca - we live at Tascott. The blackfish have gone off here at the moment - they are catching a few out the end of the breakwall, but I havent fished out there - I tend to stick to the calmer parts of the breakwall on either North Haven or Dunbogan side. But its very very quiet at the moment - even went bream fishing instead yesterday! We are here for another week or so - so plenty of time to hopefully net a few before we head home. I doubt that I will see another one that size though - I'm cursing that I didnt take it to the tackle shop & have weighed - must have been up around 2 kg's I guess - was an awsome fish and I feel very lucky to have caught one like it - I think they are pretty scarce now. By the way I have enjoyed reading your writings on the web site - nice job. Cheers Karen

I tried to last night - not sure whether it was me not doing it right - but had a bit of trouble trying to upload the photo. I'll give it another shot when I get a chance. It was huge wasn't it - I don't mind admitting that I am pretty proud of it! Cheers, Karen

Thanks for posting the photo for me Ray - I had no idea I would get so much interest. I can see that this is going to be a fun website! Thanks everyone I'm still at North Haven on holidays trying to catch a bigger one!! Karen

Caught a 51 cm blackfish at North Haven NSW. I think thats pretty big for a blackfish - not bad for a girl anyway!! I have a photo but cant seem to attach it There you go Karen... what an absolute honker I think that the photo might have been a little big for you to post ... when you try to add an attachment you should be able to see your attachment size limit.
