went out today after resolving with the wife blowing a gale at tom uglys so i went to the southern side under the bridge never been that side , nice little timber wharf 'sort of sheltered anyway , wind still pelting from the south though at least helping throw some unweighted pillees casting at the pilons got me a nice run on a tailor zzzzzzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing goes my reel and i let him run slowly bring up the drag gain a few meters and let him run again zzzzzzzzzziiiiiiiiiing love that sound finally get the fish to about 10 foot from the wharf and you guessed it bites me off nice tailor about 30 cm's but a lot of fun till tomorrow

doesn't matter had a fight with the missus doubt i'll be going anywhere

I'm just wondering if someone wants to go fishing land based tomorrow tom uglys or brighton PM me i'm keen got to do a few things early but mid morning on i'm going

onya mate can't wait till i get a king

too true me and my dad never had anything in common over the past 7 months we've been going fishing every 2 weeks on my flexi never felt closer to him he's 78 now and i wish we had this time years earlier we ring each other all the time now to talk fishing [i go land based by myself on w/ends] i look forward to every fortnight like a small child hope this goes on forever

damn i wish i could catch a kingie well done to your Nonno

My dad and i went out on Monday to check out some reefs and wrecks off the south head met Swordfisherman and his mate at the ramp couple of good blokes there and ready and willing to give advice anyway , we headed out and found Big Saigon and dropped a couple of patternostas Bang' before mine had hit the bottom it was off sideways and going back and forth for all of 10 or 15 seconds then, busted off what a great feeling though , i couldn't stop shaking for a while don't know what it was , maybe a kingie? dropped again and we got into mourie wrass , sweetlip , red rock cod and pinkies. then decided to head out a bit and do dads favourite deep drift for flatties got a few nice ones but then the wind changed to a N /easterly and we decided to head in slow trip back that was got back inside and it was real calm but my dad had had enough sorry no pics i forgot my phone going on hols for 2 weeks this friday so i'm sure i'll have a few more reports till then good luck

that's what i caught this on thought i had a big clump of weed felt real dead and heavy on my little rod

thats very nice of you mate good to see someone thinking of others in this world for a change

the rock breakwalls at the entrance to Botany Bay can produce good fish opposite the old control tower at the start of Brighton Beach also the groynes further up the beach cast into the gutters for flatties and have seen frigates going off as well

got a lot of wrass , pinkies and small red rock cods off big saigon first drop i had the biggest hit and run of my life lasted all of 15 seconds thing went nut's going sideways and back and forth then busted possible kingy ? i don't know , but the bait hadn't hit the bottom and BANG what a rush we ended up drifting out wide and got some nice flatties and jackets sorry no pics my phone was at home wind changed to a N/W and took a while to get back to the Bay once inside it was calm as calm should of had a go in the bay but dad had had ENOUGH next time

it's been blowin for 2 days i hope it stops cause i'm going out in 20 mins.

what sort of ray is this ? can you eat it ?

is that so ? i'll have to give that a go next time thanx

got lucky with a few tailor under tom uglys bridge foul hooked them so no chop 3 " pogys slightly too big jigheads but needed the extra casting distance

is that wharf public ? how do you get to it ?

thanx mate i might try my beach rod for a long cast it's only 8 '6" but not bad if the waters warm i might wade out with my spin stick i'll tell you what happens next weekend hopefully pics of flat ones by the way , is that private parking there or can anyone park do you drive in from city side ?

is this the spot ?

any one tried these spots just out of Botany Bay ? going with my dad tomorrow week gunna try jigging small metals, gulps and bait will post pics monday week

thanx johnny d i've been fishing the groynes down near Ramsgate and pulled a nice 55cm flattie i'll have to give your spot a try next weekend blowin a gale today good day to stay inside and talk fishing on the net

i have seen heaps of mullet jumping recently just up from Beaman park near Marrickville golf course [/img] is this the spot ? i've often thought of giving it a go on light gear just for fun wouldn't eat them though do you reckon they would take a gulp or powerbait on a small jighead ? ???????????????????????????????????????????

prolly a kingy just for the tussle

i keep a tape measure plus a laminated fisheries measure with me every time i fish no probs mate

what about mondays? i have every second monday off
