hey guys looking at getting a new filleting knife for Christmas and have done a bit of research was looking at getting the cutco fishermans solution. not looking at spending to much $50 - $ 100. does anyone own this knife or even recommend a good knife ?

hi everyone ! im heading over to thailand in august and i am spending 3 nights on phi phi island. i am just wondering if anyone has done any fishing over there and can they recomend any charter companys or have any information they would like to share thanks !

Nice Jew mate ! well done on cleaning up we need more fishos like you in the communtiy doing the right thing ! keep up the good work champ !

Cheers guys and thans for the tip Mick, it was a great fight felt like a nice king !

i get the bonito and tailor on 5gram silver or gold halcos. the kings seem to always be fussy but you can try small spin lures, sluggos, poppers, or skirted lures trolled at a decent speed around the schools just have to throw everything at them until they like it. i dont often see many schools of kings tho.

Hello Raiders Friday arvo finished work around 4:30 headed home grabed the boat and a coupe of beers and meet one of my good mates nathan (naze) a fellow raider at bayview boat ramp to go chase up some surface action on pittwater. As we got out there we were greated with school of bonito and taior busting up on the surface also a small school on kings which got spooked by some Pirate who drove threw the school when he was trying to get in on the action so no kings were landed as the sun went down my mate spoted what looked like a school of something about to start breaking the surface. 2 mins later some fish surfaced first cast my mate was on he hooked something big on his 8lb spind rod and what ever it was smoked him in 20 seconds i threw out a 5gram gold halco spinner on my 20lb spin rod and start spinning like a mad man and managed to hook up, fish took off and the fight began. we were in about 6meters of water so my friend starts backing the boat out to try bring the fish out of the shallows he did well and 5 mins later a 65cm amberjack was landed high fives all round . Is this a common catch inside pittwater or could it be due to the king tide the day before ? here are some pics. untitled2.bmp

thats not the small mariner at bobbin head it is by anychance ?

The kings where schooling up on saturday around 12:00 on sat caught alot on poppers but the biggest only went 60cm still a bit of fun on light gear.

fished long reef on saturday went out to get some livies off narabeen but the water colour was a real brown nothing on the sounder gave up after 10 mins. headed out for a flatty drift could not get a constant drift going with not much wind and it changing direction constantly. anchored up at a different location for afew small snapper and mowies. decided to go fish out off the front large schools of kingfish were there from midday caught about 10 on popperes biggest only going 60cm so no keepers. also large schools of yakkas boling up the surface to. water temps dropped alot and patchy in spots.

good report mate ! luck you got your gear back bet that is the only time your glad you got a tangle. hope your dadis doing well better luck next time on a legal king.

good work on the king what a stonker ! where abouts is the sticks is it in the middle of sydney harbour ?

yes there is a $90 postage price i ended up going with the 1085 because it has a 30" boom which gives it more clearence over the back of my boat.

very nice catch you sure do get some nice southerns ! keep the reports comming !
