[Weird fish (large scale saury)]

They are a weird lookin fish .i believe its. A lizard fish.

[Salmon as Jewfish bait]

Thats interesting. Ive often thought that, even though i have never caught a jew from the beach i recken they would opportunistically eat anything fresh washing around the gutters!

[Squid strips]

[Squid strips]

[Rats,Bandits and Hoods.]

So thanks for your feedback raiders.

This is such a fantastic forum.

I mean really 'tip top'.

[Rats,Bandits and Hoods.]

Just wanted to know what the length and weight for a kingfish would be for each catergory: rats, bandits and hoods?

[Did we have our first marlin strike?]

I was lucky enough to get out with a mate today to chase dollies around the fads. On the way back we decided to slow troll some skirts to see if we could tempt some action. We are novices at this game but always hopeful. We had our first strike on the shorter line , had a fight for about 5 seconds and the line went slack. On retrieval of the lure we realised we had hooked something of a half decent size as unfortunatly we hooked the fishes eyeball. We feel bad that this has caused permanent injury to the fish but are wondering what it could have been? A dollie? A marlin?

I have posted a pic of the fish eye and would appreciate any feedback as to the species from which this comes.

Thanks.

[Fishing Sunglasses]

Hi 'roylo' dont suppose you can send a link about the shades you purchased. Sounds like they would be ideal for what i need.

[Sydney beach tour]

Looked for your leatherman.could'nt find it though.

[Beach jewfish attempt #3056]

I think that trawler fishing boat that i see off the northern beaches may have something to do with it. Its been there alot .

[Jewfish]

All my baits are fresh / live . Maybe i should just up the size.

I havnt tried soft plastics but i dont see why they wouldnt work.

I guess i just have to keep putting the time in.

Cheers.

[Jewfish]

Ive been very consistant in catching jewfish in sydney harbour but my problem is they are all undersize.

My quistion is , would the larger models frequent the same places as the small ones.?

[Fishing for mullet]

I think they are just concentrating on breeding not feeding.

[Georges Jewfish in a yak on SP]

Nice fish. Looked fat.

[Sydney snapper, when are the most productive months.?]

[What eel is this and can you eat it?]

[What eel is this and can you eat it?]

If you lay the eel on fresh newspaper it will stop squirming. Try it!

[sydney south big dollie]

[Squid going rock hard when dying]

In my experience this hardening process or the main squid tube going stiff after the squid has been dispatched only occurs in the arrows not the southern calamari type.!

[Octopus for jewfish?]

I'm not sure you can even take octopus from sydney harbour.

[Searching for Mr Marlin]

Just a little financial question. How much in fuel money would you spend on a day like that?

[Who's the culprit?]

I was asking myself the same question this time last year. The culprit was hairtail . It turns out they can get everywhere and at any time of year.
