Insane catch mate! Yiur name is fast becoming legend! Any surface action?

Awesome fishing mate, Big fan!!! It looks like you were trolling in the middle of the day? Is that right lol and do you fund the x raps better than the cheaper bibbed luresThanx

Definitely will do Jesse! Hopefully things do pick up! Might concentrate on studies for a while until they do lol! See you out there

Great advice guys! I'm not really good at targeting fatties but trial and error I guess I might give it a go!The surface cation sounds great, has it been there recently and around headlands (north vs south)Thanx again guys

Hi raider! So I've been out on the bay a few times this mid sem break to only catch some rubbish fish or donughts! Where are all the fish gone?! What would you guys target now? What have you raiders been catching?! has anyone been catching? All info greatly appreciated!

Haha nice! There hasn't been much happening recently in botany unfortunately lol Goodluck when you next go out!

Heres the shark... Went again a bit later just off the shore with a few newby fishoes with the promise that id get them there first fish lol and we landed a thumper whiting! easy 40cm so that was pretty cool

How you all doing fellow fishriaders?! There haven't been many reports of late so I thoug I'd throw my 2cents worth in... Went out this morning for a long anticipated fish! Been so busy of late with assignments etc that haven't managed a fish in quite a while...however this trip was quite uneventful as you will come to learn. We set off at the lazy mans hour of about 8.30 thinking I'll fish the low tide. Was quite windy when we go out there do decided to head towards Brighton. (we went of foreshore drive and yes if anyone was wondering 3 lanes of the ramp are closed however the right hand most lane is still functional) We arrive at the spot (There's no spot...we just anchored To a random area in front of the Novotel-were is the productive " spot"/area in this area?) and set out a few baits...was using Pillies and yabbies. Threw 5 lines out and sat back and waited. 1 hour of constantly reelin in and checking untouched baits followed by another of absolutely nothing! At about 11.20 a rod armed with 30 pound braid buckled over! With a massive 2 second run, I jump up and tug at it with hulk like strength in joy for what I thought was to be a magnificent fish! After about 10 seconds I realized my folly when It Became more of a dead weight than an anchor lol. After a short fight I brought up was the biggected portjackson shark I've ever seen in my life. The joy came back again as even though this was not the edible prize fish I desired it was a great Substitute...measuring a awesome 1.2 m + took a few photos with the beauty and then threw her back...set lines out again and what do you know I caught it again 20 mins later. After that we called it a day and headed back home (my father doesn't really enjoy fishing, so his always eager to head back home lol any idea on how to make him enjoy it?) So yes no table fish or any fish really...prob one of the worst trips in the bay though still had a good time is anyone else finding h bay this barren? At the ramp others were also fish less...what's blighting at the moment in the bay? Where's the trevs and salmon!? Ah well there's always next time (like in an hours time when I shall try the hacking from a wharf lol) Yours truly Kingfishaholic Uploading pic tonight

Hey guys! Been dying for a fish for a while and hopefully tommorow might be the day! Due to the hopeless wheather there havent been many reports regarding botany, do you have any suggestions of whats been biting/recent catches? Also if the owner of a boat has a boat and fishing licence is he responsible for others onboard or are they responsible for their own individual fishing licences? Ps this will become a report hopefully once i come back thanx in advanced guys! any help appreciated!

Haha if no one claims it I've been looking to buy one for a while! Hopefully you caught a few nice fish out there to

WOW that's absolutely huge! Easily over 200kg! Your a big fella and if your 100kg the shark dwarfs you! Regardless your pretty brave tryna touch it haha I'm sure no one can doubt that! Insane fishing right there!

Awesome Report! Great catch and an awesome day with the family, that's what fishing all about! I've been promising my little brother (3) to take him fishing for a while but thought his too young. Hopefully I'll take him out soon

Crazy Kingy mate!!! Well Done

Hey Sparky! Nice catch, Haha and Howd You manage to get up after 2 hours sleep! Hope you had an awesome night! Thanx for the yabbies mate I owe you one.
