:1worthy: :1worthy: congratz in taking first and 2nd place. very nice fishes!

i never fished at picnic point before, but i have fished at oatley and lugarno area when i was a little kid. they were some nice bream and flatty there and i saw heard that there is a deep spot near oatley bridge where jew fish are. they are also the annoying sting rays.
they area where i fish is pretty close to you so i am guessing you can eat the fish you catch from there.
through out the years, i have been eating fish that i catch there and they seem to be safe to eat for me and my friends

Atomic Guzzlerz Minnow with 1/16 jig is good. catches lots of bream and flatty for me

did it look like this?
i think it's a parasite of some sort...tongue biter?
yeah they kinda look something like that. very very similar. they look so disguesting! I threw the parasite out with the fish's inside so i cant take a picture to show you guys.
-
Mate they're only there to clean inside its mouth after it has eaten. You can eat it no problems
Cheers,

i thought it was a parasite to kill the fish. Any info on these things?

Yep Stefan, the spot i fish has a light that goes out about 10pm. Once the light goes out If there is no moon i never seem to catch anymore squid while if there is a full moon i will keep catching the ocasional one here and there.
are you talking about the bath at port hacking bay area?

Hello guys, i went to rose bay yesterday, caught myself a nice trevally. When i tried to bleed it, i saw these light orange white crustacean that looks like yabbies. there was so much in its mouth and it in stomach. I took the trevally home still, i am not sure what they are and if the trevally is still eatable or not?

Thanks for your replies everyone.
Much appreciated.
Now gonna go and do some shopping
AWESOME!Have a great day everyone
Cheers
P.s What kind of line should I use?
James
it depends, i have seem people catching 70cm kingie in the jetty with 8lb braid
but if you are in the jetty, you can use 8lb and it is good enough
if you are at the rocks, and you use braid, the line gets cut easily, but if u use mono, you have a bit more lean way.
enjoy your new gear

happy bday guys

Its winter now and i have seen people started fishing for blackfish. i currently have a penn950ssm with 10ft surfing ugly stick. 30lb mono line. i was just wondering if this combo is ok to use for blackfishing? or do i need to but a new rod thats more sensitive. any suggestions on the rod and reel?

G'day amC,
For livebaiting land based I'd stick with mono. Tuna play up near the rocks and kings just play up... one touch of rock on braid and it's good night. With mono you at least have some leeway.
You won't be able to fish anything like close to the breaking strain of 100lb line, even if the reel would take it (it wouldn't). Some people fish 37kg off the rocks but for most, the practical limit is 24kg. Given that you've said you're new to the game, I'd start out with 15kg... fighting a fish on 24 isn't easy on the rocks and if you don't keep your wits about you, either you or your outfit or both could end up in the suds.
The 345Gti has a graphite frame that wouldn't survive really heavy drag pressure. The frame will distort and you'll quickly wear out or even blow up the internals if you tried to fish big drags. Level wind mechanisms aren't a great idea in that sort of scenario either. Just imagine how much lateral pressure would be put on the level wind if it and your line get out of sync while fighting a big fish. Not an unlikely situation and a recipe for losing the fish of a lifetime.
You'd be a lot better off getting yourself a Shimano TLD... they have stronger frames, although if you start seriously getting into it, a Penn Inter, Shimano Tiagra or similar would be the best choice. Learning to wind the line on evenly is really simple. It's just a matter of guiding it back and forth across the spool with the thumb of your left hand as you retrieve line.
Cheers, Slinky
i want to get a penn inter but heard its made from china now. I live in sydney and dun know where if there is any store that sells penn inter and how much its would cost me and etc. As we online shop i seen it for around $600, dunno if i should buy one off online shop.

What sort of fishing are you doing; casting, livebaiting? 500m of 100lb braid is an unusual choice (and an expensive one)! Are you sure braid is the best choice. TLDs aren't really casting reels. Also with line that heavy you run the risk of pulling the graphite frame out of alignment and thereby damaging the gears.
PS: some people run with braid on the bottom of the reel and a topshot of mono (say 100m) for casting/ fishing with. This way if you get a big runner you have more line capacity due to the fine diammeter braid backing.

i like the idea of rod making. i wonder if any raiders has made their own rod? is it better than the standard brand rods or is it cheaper to make it yourself?
