Hi Sean
Welcome to Fishraider, A bit more info would help, IE where in Sydney are you, Public transport or do you have a car, are you available during the week or just weekends, do you have your own gear.
This info would help someone looking for a fishing partner.

They say third time Lucky, I am now waiting for the third report with a successful ending.
Well done on the jew, the first one is always the hardest, hope you get many more.

There’s a great deal of satisfaction when you design and build it yourself.
I built my own for my Tinnie, I know the problems involved.
Well done and I hope it gives you years of good service.

Too sloppy for me to go outside, had 1 bream and 1 whiting commit suicide near Captain Cook bridge.
Just enough to satisfy my fishing urge.

Good onya Donna (and Stewy, if he had any input lol) for making this the go to site for Fishos who take pride in their use of it. Like Granpa I won't be needing the super doper techno stuff as my phone is closely related to a building brick. So for those of you who CAN use the new technology, let's see you all contributing and we old farts will continue to look, listen and learn.
Well said

BRUNG IT ON!
Obviously I'm missing something with NaCIH20K9. So your one up on me grandad. I didn't realise it was meant to mean something.
NaCi = Salt /H20 = Water /K9= Dog. = Salt Water Dog. Very Smart of Steve to use this.

It's taken me years to figure this existing site out, I'll have to get the grandkids in if anything changes.
Took me a month to figure out NaCIH20K9.
But I will take it in my stride, What's a smart phone?

Sounds like a fantastic Easter weekend to me, half the raiders on here will be jealous,
at least I got a couple of chocolate eggs.
Well done.

Paddles are there so that you can tie on a shirt and wave for help.

Always nice to get a couple off the beach, and didn't have to wait too long either.
Well done.

- Spikies = Small undersize flathead

I was down there 2 weeks ago, managed a feed,
They can be very fussy if the drift is not just right,
Once you find a couple, continually fish that depth.
Every day can be different. I was harassed by green toads
All day.
Better luck next time

Thanks for your good wishes.
I went fishing last Wednesday for the first time since my surgery 14 months ago.
I fished off Wattamolla for my 10 flathead. It was great to be out on the water again.
I was harassed by Green toads instead of the usual Leather Jackets. They would follow
my baits to the surface and then school under the boat, then chase my fresh bait down to the bottom again.
Those fresh Flathead sure taste good after a long layoff.
Thanks again for the good wishes and support.

also had couda many years ago from a shoe box smoker found it quite nice.
Was in the fishing club at the Tradies at the time. Could we have shared the same fish.

In my younger days the double hooks were all we used when fishing for hairtail.
I still have a few left and they work fine, easy to thread a Pilchard on, and with a few hooks
you can leave them in the fish and retrieve them later, just using the same clip over and over.

Those GPS marks that you used happens to be one of my favorite soft plastic spots.
often catch flathead there.

Yowie Bay for me, because of the superior parking.

If you want to force the issue tell them that you can't sleep because of the pain,
then they will reconsider, they did not want to do my left shoulder but it kept getting
worse until I could not sleep properly, then they said they would have to fix it.
So much better once they are fixed. well worth the six months that you can't use the arm.
Try to get a referral to Dr Hitchen at Miranda, he specialises in knees and shoulders.

My Right arm was a major tear, Had Key hole Surgery by Dr Hitchen,
They grind the bone and trim the ligament, then screw 4 metal anchors
into the bone and stitch the ligament to the anchors,
It has to form a blood supply from the bone to the ligament to be successful.
6 weeks in a sling, sleeping was the major problem. The pain is constant
never seems to go away, need pain killers to sleep but not too bad during the day
If I tore it again I would have no hesitation in getting it repaired again.
They don't fix themselves they only get worse.
Rays in Port Hacking
in Fishing Chat
Posted
The photos were posted and shared on the I Love Caringbah South Facebook page.
Spotted from his house at Gannons Bay, Glenn Warren photographed this fever of stingrays in the Port Hacking.
An afternoon cuppa from his Boomerang Avenue waterfront balcony came with a spectacular display of nature.
Mr Warren captured the rays swimming in unison, about 20 metres from his waterfront residence.
The photos were posted and shared on the I Love Caringbah South Facebook page.
“I’ve lived here for 10 years and seen dolphins, seals and blue gropers,” he said.
“I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Anyone guess what type of rays they could be?
