Wednesday I basically had nothing to do after work and was bored so i picked up the mrs n we headed out to picnic point again, not much action but she managed to land 3 bream 2 under with one just an bit of legal Released all of them i also landed 1 bream and 2 whiting all released, STILL trying to work out blade n popper fishing managed 2 hits on the poppers and was pretty awesome to see, but nothing on them all fish were landed on beach worms. Thursday Same thing again bored after work wife went shopping i went fishing headed up to a rock ledge just after picnic point was watching a whole heap of bream feeding 1-2 mtrs from the rocks so i managed to climb down with my back pack on and rod in hand got to the lower point and jumped onto a rock that was sitting about 1 metre from the ledge basically sat there with blades and poppers again trying different retrievals has one BIG hit on the blade (was casting sideways along the ledge to fish the shallows) and had some small bream interested in my popper as well fairly good to watch no fish landed but better than sittin at home watching telly. Friday Me and my mate had decided to take his boat out for a evening session in botany bay he finished work @ 2:30 i left work around the same time we headed out to botany and sat at the HWO for around 3-4 hrs landed a HEAP of bream on beachworms 1 of which was 37cm and fat after catching and releasing about 20-30 fish and keeping 5 3 bream 2 trev's we decided to drop some squid out and maybe chase some jewfish, we sat at the runway for 3 hrs (fell asleep after 10 mintues) as iwas sleeping i had a dream the rod was going off with a ZZZZZZZZZ and woke up and grabed the rod then i released it was a dream hahahha so i went back to sleep for another hr and after that we decided to head back in. Saturday Had to get my tattoo touchd up in the morning so i wasnt confident i was gonna be able to wet a line but i was done fairly quick so i drove off in a hurry with my wife headed off to picnic point again, Beachworms for her blades popppers for me, but as my rod was still rigged with a sinker and hook i said ill try a beachworm first first cast my rod goes nuts a stonker of a bream would of been 40+ i got it out of the water and PING! hooks gone fish is gone then i remembered i was being hit by tailor the night before and my trace was all frayed so rerigged up everything and my wife lands a 20cm bream, released it and i try some popppers again few swipes but no takes :/ (i think now i may be reeling in too fast) anyway after an hour or so of nothing and my wife still getting bites i decide to switch to bait again and i score my self a 27cm blackfish/luderick on a worm, released him too and we went home for BBQ. Sunday we decided to go fishing again we drive for a few hrs looking for differant places the initial plan was to go to avoca but after checking out the weather didnt look like it would be a good day for my wifes first ledge fishing session so we went local, we went up to Gymea baths, didnt like so went to tom uglies and my wife says Picnic point was more fun so we headed back after a bite to eat and landed Total of 6 bream 3 whiting and a trev all released and also 4 bust offs. And that is all Might head out again today (trying to get into bream fishing for the pirtek challenge) definitely taking my boat out this weekend Sorry no pics released as we caught them so not really worth taking pics

hahhaa ivz where is hinchinbrook i want barra now too

hey guys need some help now i have no clue where to get squid boat based in botany im going fishing tonight and i would love to have some fresh squid for the late night jews now i know where to getyakkas and stuff im going to be around the the HWO, maybe the drums while its still light, and the head over to the 3rd runway for jews (unless of course somone else can tell me a better spot i would appreciate that as well) but mainly need to know where to get squid

nope but you gotta do a small course easiest way is to get incontact with a licencing agent who runs the course basically you pay them like $100 or somthing do the course + sit the exam + they practically give you the answers. then you get a cert take that to waterways n bang licence done

haha lucky you Ray love that last pic of your new banjo maybe when i come up you can play a tune on it haha btw last sunday i hooked up on a 48cm bonny was you were walking back but unfortunatly that was all

if you asked yesturday i was up at georges river coulda taken some photos for ya

lol yes it is can find it all here --------> " I Didn't Write The Caption, Honest! "

gday mate, have you checked out this thread yet ---> Jewfish tactics Seems to be pretty helpful although i still have not landed my first jew yet but others i've taken have haha Good luck bud + im sure a lot of members/pros here would be able to help you out also you might want to throw up thread in the "Adopt a Novice" section and you may even be able to head out with some of the jewfish pro's and they may teach you a thing or two about getting some jews but yeh good luck on your hunt Regards Aaron

sounds like you had some fun

:1happybday:

Gday mate, sorry to hear about all that, depression is something that has become more common or at least more recognized. I usually just go fishing to help relax/calm my self especially after a crappy day also when ever you need someone to talk to don't hesitate to post up on here i'm sure your posts will not go disregarded people always want to hear what others have to say as well also sucks to hear how workplaces disregard things like that, it is pretty inconsiderate of workers to say and do the things most of them do, and this happens in a lot of workplaces including my own. Have you tried talking to work mates or the boss about your condition? not sure if it will make them a little more lenient or not, sure didn't in my case as i still get the "Oh, your sick, do you have to take the whole day off cant you come in half day". heck just the other day i had problems with my Achilles tendon after i accident involving a whipper snipper and i couldnt walk properly for 2 weeks and to top it off the wound got badly infected, i actually got told off for trying to change the dressing saying its nothing, and i actually came to work .. it is silly what happens in some work places. Good luck with everything mate hope get some relief from your pains as well and remember were always here to talk Regards Aaron

well ive seen people use mono n still work sp's fairly well

damn wherea bouts was that mate i was sittin at picnic point last night with the mrs she hooked up onto some small bream all i got on the SP's were tailor, and thats all had one hit on my blade but then it got hooked on a rock upon retrieval and that was lost im pretty bad with georges river

i suppose it could but you would have to rely on the fact that a fish would just be swimming past at the time, personally dont think would work as good as if you worked itit does need to be moving for the fish to notice it

still 30 bonnies in my books isnt a failed trip sounds like a great trip should of used some bonnies as live bait (smaller ones ofcourse)

squid i get from the wharfs around sydney yakkas also but yakkas are all over the place near structures i usually launch @ tunks park when fishing the harbour so i stop under the spit to grab my live bait then head off to my usuall spots

got my hat n mat yesturday and went out fishing to christen it instead my wife caught 3 bream :/ all undersize though

haha go dragons but in the end we still choke

yeh its not too bad for them fresh/live squid work a treat there but yeh around the moorings and the bridge its self should be able to pick some up + alot of thumper bream around and jews on the bottom near the moorings too (according to what i've been told) Middle head has a fair few rats tailor sambo's bream snapper etc.. Oh and your welcome mate i know im spose to take you out to chase them one weekend just gotta organize my blueslip for my trailer n ill shoot u a pm to take you as well

yes it is possible to get kings after 10am and if you want i can direct you to a decent spot that will be able to produce some rats and some fairly decent kings as well. and you will still be able to play with other fish while waiting for them best thing is to burley up heaps and also live yakka/squid work very well but they can get picked up on SP's and metals too! below a small map HOPE THIS HELPS Regards Aaron

:1welcomeani: Welcome to the site bud. Ill be heading out this weekend on both days hopefully pick up some fish look forward to reading some reports

my mate received his hat n brag mat today too ive yet to go home n see if i got mine

great news only thing is i cannot remember the date it happened was late last year and that was the last time i ever went there again

if its only surface rust, basically sand back to metal put on some rust protector and possibly paint it again if it is painted there was this really good stuff last time i was at the auto paints shop for rust which i bought for my project car that had a bit of rust i think it like $15 or something for 200ml but basically only needed few drops, and no it wasn't fish oil either i will look it up for you and get back to you on the rust protector but basically just sand back n treat it and seal it with a coat of paint. if it is more serious than surface rust it will require cutting and welding or replacing the whole peice

cheers slinky and once more i apologize if i offended anyone but it does need to be addressed police patrols in these area's would work well as well as a no loitering rule boom gates would be great but i doubt it would happen as it will cost a fair bit to keep it operational at the hours that it is needed for. as earlier stated ive come back to my car with flat tyres all round ... was great that someone had a 12v air pump that got them up enough to get to the local servo. I have also seen people have Rollers stolen from their trailers and winches etc.. if the police can remove these people and patrol it at night would be great. Regards Aaron
