Hey im up for a night time fish!! Let me know when and where i finish work 10pm i can meet you. . I have been trying for squid without much luck in and around balmain.

Hi Guys, I am trying to organise a fishing charter for this Monday 15/04/2013. We will be going 6 to 12 nautical miles off Botany Bay chasing Big kings 8kg + Plus, using Livies. Its $1000 and the boat fits 6 people. All top quality bait and tackle is supplied. At the moment we have 2 people keen we need another 2 to 4 guys who are interested in going. If we have 4 people on board the cost will be $250 each If we get 6 People on board it will $170 each. Please sms or call me on 0410 111 244 if your interested. Cheers, John

Wish me luck! Please santa before you head back to the North Pole please put a 100 cm kingy on the end of my rod please!! I have only caught rat kingies so it would be nice to actually take one home for once :-)

Hi Fellow Raiders, A mate and I are heading up to Swansea this Sunday with the boat. We don't know much about the area but if anyone can help us out for some good snapper spots that would be appreciated. Actually any good spots for any species would be good.... Thanks for the heads up... Cheers, John

Thats FANTASTIC! Love it! Good work. I know where I will be going next holiday!

Mate I am jealous thats something i dream of doing. Still yet waiting to catch something like this. Good work. :-)

Hey all, went out today to got plenty of Yakkas and headed straight out to the FAD. Didnt do any good out there the weather was really bad. the seas were really bad we were getting smashed by huge waves! Headed back in to bottom bash still nothing ended up coming home at lunch time empty handed!!

Hi All, I'm heading out tomorrow morning to Botany bay Thinking of getting some yakkas then head to the FAD. will be coming in for a bream session later. Ill be on the water 6am. If anyone is out tomorrow let us know. Cheers, John.

HI All, Thailand is fished out i wouldnt recommend going on a charter there. I just got back from there recently i never went on a charter but i asked around and people told me it was fished out. There is however a cat fish farm where you can fish for Araipama and catfish they have some huge fish there! I forgot whats its called but if you google something should come up.

Awesome. Nice job catching those kingies. I fished the harbour on sat near the wedding cakes and south head for kings was very quiet caught a couple of rats thats about it. Still waiting to catch my first legal kingy....

how do you cook the fish? Grill or fry?

Hey mate, I am up for King fishing I have my own gear and can reverse a car with a trailer no problem. Give me a buzz on 0410 111 244 Cheers, John

Hey mate did you end up going?? We did and swell was pretty bad everyone got sick and we got caught nothing but leather jackets!!

Hi Fellow Raider, I'm heading out to Port Kembla on the boat this Sunday. We're not really familiar with the area only been there a couple of times.. If anyone has any advise or know any good spots let us know... Cheers,

Awesome story gotta love that :-)

Hey mate been there before pretty good for salmon and bonito. Best thing to do is take a beach rod and rig it up with a float coz its pretty rocky there! I usually just put on a whole pilly on a gang hook and get good results when the salmon and bonito are coming through..... Try fishing sunrise and sunset usually the best time to go....

I should have will keep it in mind for next time! Hey how do would you hook up the slab tailor? Whats the best way to do it?

Got the gear ready! Went out to Botany we got there at about 630pm the conditions seemed perfect. Wind was minimal water was calm and the moon was setting in at 8pm with high tide midnightish. Thought to my self this is it GREAT .... Going to land our first Jewie tonight! Anyway went out on the hunt for some Yakkas, burleyed up with some bread got the rig setup nothing biting.... Tried to go squidding but not sure of the best spots to go, ending up giving up on the yakkas and squid went and tried fishing near the tank. nothing much happening there as well..... there were a few boats around not catching anything as well.... By this time it was about 10ish decided to head over near bear island..... had a whole pilly on a ganga casted out sat down eating my sandwich then BANG.... Zzzzzzz..........rod bending reeled in a nice 60cm Tailor.... That woke us up a bit ... Tailor was on the bite last night ended up landing 4 keepers and 1 Red Rock Cod (poor Mans Lobster) Decent size.... Overall was a good nyt out expected it to be much better going by the weather conditions.

Hi Guys, I am in need of some help! Me and my mate have been trying to catch a kingfish or Jewie for the last 2 years with no luck! We dont have a boat and have been to numerous places around Sydney with no luck! We usually go and catch yellowtail for live bait then go to a spot which we have heard good things about for catching kingies and Jewies. Some of the places we have been to are Greenwich, Clifton Gardens, Spit Bridge, Milsons Point, and pier 2 just to name a few. We have had many all nighters with no luck! Any help or advise would be appreciated. If anyone is heading out over the weekend and would like some company let us know... Cheers, John
