Hi everyone just wondering what fishing is like inside the harbour at the moment? Whats there to catch. Thanks Jono

I did mine at the hornsby maritime office opposite the rta. No dramas, it was fairly easy hope this helps Jono

Not to mention running your motor without cooling witch is not ideal

Just got back from the harbour and had an awesome days fishing! 6:30 ish Slow start trying to get yakkas, as soon as i droped my line in had instant hookup for 2 yakkas but then nothing else for quite a while. Went for some squid and no go, wind was absolutely pumping! 8:00 Trolled the yakkas around and hooked up with a nice 80cm king (awesome afternoon snack). 10:00 Went for more yakkas, but ended up getting bream, flatty, whiting, squires and yakkas 11:30 Trolled the yakkas but due to the change of weather the kingies went elsewhere Overall a really fun day out! Hopefully plenty more soon. Jono

Hopefully getting out there for the first time in a few weeks

Ive caught a fair few bonies on rapala magnums, they seem to work nicely.

Ive been using the HDS 5. The display is absolutely awesome and its really accurate! Im not sure but i think the HDS 8 is just a bigger screen but i can defiantly recommend the HDS 5

Hi everyone. Im quite limited with boat usage as im not old enough to tow the trailer so was just wondering where some good lb spots are on the north shore, not fussed what fish but as long as ill have fun Thanks. Jono

HOLIDAYS!!!! Just finished a big exam and i havent been out in 2 weeks, Gonna try get out into the harbour this weekend. Whats in the harbour at the moment anyway? Any Kingie?

Ive got a daiwa gold cast reel lying at home that was used probably 10 years ago (originally bought as a reel for my older brother when he was much younger so he couldnt stuff up, and also in perfect mech condition) My question is how do you spool it? And is it anything more then an a reel you would give to the first time fisherman, is it worth using? Thanks, Jono

Hi everyone, im planning on drifting for flatti and just wondering where the best place is to get them in the hawksbury and what method to use? Thanks, have a good fishing weekend everyone Jono

I think you do have to do a bit of practical, i got mine a few months ago and i was required to do five trips with someone else who has there licence (friend who has theres) but the test was easy 100%

Hi everyone, wanting to go for some flatti soon but no sure where is the best place and method for them? Could anyone please advise as to where abouts and methods. Thanks everyone, and have a good weekend fishing Jono

Welcome welcome. Im also fairly new to fishraider and have learnt loads!! Hopefully i will also be heading out this weekend try for some stuff in the harbour See you around Jono

On the Saturday i did the lb fishing at apple tree bay, not as great as i thought it would be.

The actual weather was fine, sunny and not too hot, just the wind was ridiculous as soon as you get up too north head the swell and wind was scary to say the least especially in the tinny.

Hello everyone, before is start i just wanna say thanks for all the info. Yesterday wasn't amazing we did manage to catch some stuff....some very weird stuff and the usual tailor, squire, bream, flounder but nothing worth going back for. However we did go out this morning, planning for kingie but horrible conditions stopped us from. However we did catch some bonito witch were a fairly good size, managing to buckle the rod a bit We still had fun witch is the main thing, thanks again to everyone who helped with info Until next time, Jono

I'm guessing your talking about apple tree bay there? Thanks very much jewgaffer, i wont be able to try that out today but ill defiantly be sure to try it out in the future. We've already organised for apple tree bay, ive heard theres flatty, bream, taylor, whitting, and the odd jewy...Could i just bottom bash and try my luck? Any suggestions? Thanks for all the info everyone, Jono

Or what about flint n steel? Can i do some lb fishing from there

Hey Im planing on going with a few mates to apple tree bay for a fish (most convenient) and just wondering if i will catch anything there. Im going from land and also going at the top of the tide (I think is 12:40, correct me if im wrong witch i probably am) and fishing the runout If anyone can suggest some spots or methods greatly appreciated Also what can i expect to catch? Thanks, Jono

Thanks everyone for the help. It think his looking around the $200.00 mark so give or take a bit. What about the daiwa exceller?? thats also been suggested. My dad really likes the baitrunner feature on the 8000d but besides that he just wants something smooth and very reliable (knowing he wont be as vigilant with cleaning as i am). Thanks again everyone! Jono

I think he wants to go for big kingie and stuff like that...

Hello, i recently got myself a new reel ( stradic 2500fi witch is absolutely awesome! ) and now my dads decided he wants a new reel. Hes been looking at the shimano bait runner 8000d but thinks its a bit to expensive, what other similar reels are out there worth taking a look at. Thanks everyone, Jono
