Top fish mate . Just curious if you were fishing for blackfish, I assume you were using weed???? did the Tarwhine eat weed ??? Mannyk

Great story but scary as well.I have had a whale come under the boat before and it scared the crap out of me.

How big is that Bream in your photo IV350? looks massive!

What a top fish!! What are the sticks? or where? Mannyk

For the whiting two words..Worms and nippers!

Hi all Thought I'd post a funny thing that happened to me last week fishing for snapper. Whilst fishing for some reds just near Batemans.I thought i had hooked on to a healthy fish when low and behold I caught two fish on the one line!!!! One snapper had eaten my bait and somehow the hook and bait past through its gill plate and another fish has grabbed it!. Not sure if this is a first but we were in stitches. We ended up with 7 nice fish all around the 1.5 -3 kg mark. That same evening I also got snapped by something large that ate my $19 favourite squid jig! I managed three nice squid for a couple hours work and decided to call it a night. The following night I decided to chase some salmon off the beach ( lake Tabourie)with a keen friend. We smashed them. I lost count how many Sambos we caught. But it was about 40 plus in about three hours all around the two kilo mark. We threw all of them back and even pulled out the bream gear for more fun. They all took half pillies and were very close to shore. Before we called it a night and had to head back to the ball and chain. We decided to throw out some slabs of mullet that we had in case we caught that elusive Jew. Not much happened for the first hour but in the final hour we landed three Port Jackson, a banjo and a small shark that was either a bronze or school shark. We threw them all back..I was fished out for at least a week But things look like they are getting better although the water was still cold. Photos to come Cheers Mannyk

Isn't it funny. I have been checked once in thirty years of fishing by an inspector in the middle of the night in the Hawkesbury about ten years ago. Yet I have never come across one or seen one since. I am sure if they were a bit more active and visible it would stop the sneaky fisherman doing the wrong thing. Furthermore increase the fines and less people would take the risk.

$4.99 a kilo what the ?????

Nice photo and fish!!!!

Great Snapper and kingy bait!

Nice photo Achilles??? Do you eat them or use them as bait???

Try straight in front of the Novotel with Blood worms and Nippers..you will be surprised what's right in front .

Blues Pt Sydney Harbour? I fished Blues point years ago for good catches of bream and also saw a few school jew caught there in March but these days it tends to be fairly quiet. Good luck.

That flathead looks 6 kilo not 2.2kilo...Are you sure your scales work? That thing is huge!!!

I caught one about the same size in Sydney Harbour ( Balmoral) about ten years ago lol
