[Shoal Bay 27/4]

good report

[Lake Mcquarie Bream]

mate i live in lake macquarie we get heaps of bream on mullet strips and we use floating baits ( no sinkers) in shallow water, the only time we use sinkers is in the channel or dropover its a big lake best of luck

[Fighting whiting]

good stuff whiting are great eating

[Harbour blackfish]

gotta love black fish fishing

[Anyone know any spots for Lake Macquarie]

mate i live in the lake macquarie area been getting plenty of fish if want tailor try coal point ,rathmines area dark or early morning, bream flathead try pulbah island area ,the salmon have just entered the system caught two in the past week one near pulbah island one the eastern end of the lake at speers point its a big lake but i hope this helps

[quick evening sesh]

well done a whiting on a five inch jerk shad ,who would have thought some good flathead there too

[Eastern suburbs blackfish]

GOOD FEED THERE, BLACK FISH ARE GREAT TO EAT, UP HERE IN THE NEWCASTLE AREA WE GETTEM ON WEED OR CABBAGE DURING THE DAY AND PEELED PRAWNS AT NIGHT

[JEWYYY!]

fishing 1am in the morning you deserve it well done

[Luderick fishing this past week]

its good when the weed and the cabbage is right there

[crabs for bait]

yea the black crabs are deadly on big bream but they seem to work best when there is tidal movement also keeps the pickers away

[Dollies in Lake Mac]

some interesting fish have been caught at the hot water outlets at different times

[Parra Bycatch]

well done

[Newcastle]

xmas time is a hard time with lots of boats and people about try some of the lest popular beaches like dudley and nine mile , stockton and blacksmiths breakwalls are worth a try but early. hopefully with good tides, nobbys breakwall where you can fish the harbour one side and the beach on the other is worth a try with live worms but early before the n/e winds get up there are others but you need a boat good luck

[Swansea/lake Maqurie]

if land based blacksmiths break wall is a good place to start, if you have a boat around the sand islands at pelican with blood worms you'll do well,a couple of jew spots is belmont barge and the trench

[Whiting]

live worms work best for me tube worms work well on the beach, blood worms are good in the estaries but the best worms are squirt worms if you can get them

[Lake Macquarie]

mate there places in the lake to get livies,the belmont barge and the trench are two to start with, also don't be fooled the jew are there too

[Lake Macquarie Hot Water Outlet?]

cobia are one fish that have been caught there

[Whiting Caught On Something Different]

took a few mates out in the boat over easter in lake macquarie had a great day caught fish & crabs , but one of the catches was a 38 cm whiting caught on mullet, i am thinking the pickers cleaned the flesh up and the whiting took the skin although i am not sure, so has anyone else caught a whiting on something like this thanks

[Good Dvd To Watch]

i have heard about this dvd where can you buy it

[Newcastle Fishing And Crabbing]

you have made a good move , i live in lake macquarie/ newcastle area,the first thing you have to do is follow the newcastle knights stockton beach is good , newcastle harbour is a great jewfish spot,there lots of breakwalls to fish from and plenty of beaches,lake macquarie is the biggest saltwater lake in the southern hemishere there is no pro netting and big flathead ,bream ,whiting are there,also you have the power outlets which produce good fish too,if fresh water fishing is your game they are not far away either ,fresh water rivers are half an hour away ,lake st clair ,glen bawne dams are 1 to 1.5 hours away ,life is good

[Scrub Worms]

Hi Randel,

Scrubbies are found at the base of trees in the earth and you will see the trees that house them with holes in the trunk and normally there will be sawdust or shavings present.

Scrape away the earth near the roots and you will see them easily and yes they are top bait for all native fish,especially bass.

Cheers Stewy

thats the type of answer i am after , i live in lake macquarie even though there is plenty of salt water fishing here ,fresh water fishing is not far away ,if you read

the nsw fishing monthey scrub worms are top bait so any more info will be greatly appeciated thanks

[Scrub Worms]

does any body know anything about SCRUB WORMS,i know they are a gun bait for fresh water fishing,(bass,yellow belly ) my questions are

where do you find them (i am not after pacific locations ) just where to look for them

do you only get them inland or can they be found closer to the coast, thanks

[Best Bait For Crab Pots]

chicken carraces are good ,they catch leather jackets too, fish frames are hard to beat especially mullet frames,try a sheep heart they are good

[Blue Swimmers]

yea mate northern end lake macquarie

[Jewfish Tactics]

great stuff,i though i new a lot about jew fishing but there is always more to learn,caught a 22 pounder in lake macquarie three weeks ago ,cheers
