good to hear you got some fish i went out on my yak and saw a school of what seemed to be tailor and salmon that were very fussy and would not take anything, next time though

sounds like it was a nice day out, on the off chance what size real and how heavy was your line, trying to get a new set up for exactly that sort of fishing cheers max

hey, seeking advice on a rood and reel combo, i own a 2-5kg Shimano T-curve and was wondering if it would take a 4000 size reel with maybe 5 or so kilo braid, i am aware that it is only a 2-5 kg rod and would this be to heavy, wanting to fish for smaller kings this summer and trying to get my act together. cheers, max

i went out with scott lyons as well, we picked up a fair few bonnys

thats a very helpful report heading up to narra lakes on friday, now i kow what to use cheers max

yeah the whole harbour is full to the brim of them i went for a fish on my tinny yesterday and they were all the way down to iron cove and all the way back to mort bay, there are small to medium kings and the odd bonnie but mostly tailor, good fun

cheers haven' t had a chance to go out yet but looking forward to it more now

Sounds good, im heading up to bilgola beach for the Christmas holidays which is round ten minutes away, glad to hear about the flatys

i saw that whole thing as well. It was hard to watch knowing that the kingys are down there but you cant get to them, the whitebait has been around for around 2 weeks now and it has been so much fun. loosing al the lure on the other hand im thinking of heading out on my tinny this arvo hopefully they will still be hanging around

i don't know about berry island but i have been fishing around balmain east and picking up plenty of lizards and tailor and baby snapper. just using plastics( but not for the tailor)

Sounds like it was heaps of fun and jigging those kingys is awesome fun i hope to get stuck into them this summer!

alright cheers max

Went for a fish this morning with some new squidgie worms, wanted to test them out. Started a 4.50 and ended at 6.30 and caught 5 flathead and one flounder.

was thinking of heading out to the heads tomorrow morning, heard there were schools of tailor,rats and salmon. just wondering if it is worth it? cheers max

i fish around east balmain, it's a good spot but it is extra good at the moment because of all the large bait fish schools

good work nathan, its that kid, we had a flick together the other day if you have any ideas of coming around balmain again send us a pm and we can go for a fish!, again nice work on the jew

Went for a fish this arvo chasing tailor but it was a bit slow and only caught 2 so i went to another regular spot and had a flick around with some plastics. First cast a little snapper grabbed it not long after it hit the surface of the water, i think this is because of the abundance of smaller bait fish. Second cast the plastic actually got to the bottom and not long after that a flathead had grabbed it after some small short runs the fish was easily unhooked and thrown back. After that i caught another flathead followed by a small flounder and two more flathead. Cast the plastic in again and twitched it a few times and as the lure was sinking i saw the belly of the line move i knew that a fish had grabbed it so i struck and got stuck into a more decent fish, it was a good flathead around 60cm in length much better than the other 40cmer's fish. as i tried to lift the fish the line snapped and she gracefully swam back down. After re-rigging i get a good hit but no take so i drop the lure back down and giggle it around some then i see a good flash of silver and my reel starts to buz i tried to stop the fish but it had other ideas and head for the pylons and after that its all over. After re-rigging for the second time and a few cast later i caught 2 yakkas and one more flathead,the flathead was pretty small around 20cm and it was being ghosted by either a large tailor or rat kingy. In total 2 tailor, 1 flounder, 1 snapper, 5 flathead and 2 yakkas After that i was happy it was a great session and i got some bait for the weekend

what a shame, same thing happend to me but it wasn't a 60cm one. it wouldn't be as fun if the line wasn't as light!

Nice hawl mate, been chasing those fish to have havent yet managed one of those kings but i'm looking forward to it! nice work on the jew to amazing

At around 7-7.30 i get a call from a mate who lives just down the hill, " hurry tailor, bait ball", with dinner still in my hand i run down the hill( as i only live 100 or so meters away) wack on a 100mm rapala minnow and start casting strait into the mess of gulls and fish i get 3-4 winds into my retrieve and i'm on. Get the fish to land and get it off the hook to quickly cast again, the fish wasn't anything special around 20 or so cm long. after 4 fish around the same length i cast again as it is slowing down and i hook up with a more decent fish after a good fun fight i pull it up the wall and onto the grass, while de hooking it the fish was around the 35- 40cm mark. with the grand total of 6 fish(all tailor) and the biggest fish being 35-40cm mark i head home and finish my dinner. all in all very fun and quite a pleasant surprise cheers Max
