  1. I used to fish a bit at Cremorne Point years ago. Not on the wharf, but right at the end of the point near the little lighthouse. Just walk through the park and then down the ladder to get there. Used to catch some nice sized flatties, trevally and snapper at the lighthouse. However, the last few times I went there, everything I caught was undersize. Love the scenery there though!
  2. Wow congratulations and well done! A stickface on your first attempt, lucky you! How far off the heads was that?
  3. What an absolute monster! Well done!
  4. Well done! Seems so easy when the fish are on like that doesn't it.
  5. Congratulations and well done! Marlin on the maiden voyage - might be a lucky boat! Can I follow you around haha
  6. Thanks for the report and awesome photos! After seeing the photos of the jackets, I can see how jigging while they're around is so futile!
  7. Great report, got yourself a decent feed there! Better luck next time with the big flatties. What length do you think they were?
  8. There were plenty of Dollies out there on Sunday. They were hitting everything - livies, pillies, even jigged up a few of them. Try targeting them if you're going out again soon.
  9. Thanks for the report and great pics! It's good to know there's something out there thinning the leather jacket population
  10. Thanks for the reports, that was a good read. Wish I could fish for a week straight! Interesting observations too regarding the moon phase and Kings cruising through the yakkas. Would love to hear the thoughts of more experienced fishos. I've heard the theory before about the falling barometer slowing down the bite. Apparently has to do with the pressure affecting the fish's organs such as swim bladder and stomach. i.e falling barometer compresses the fishes organs, making them less hungry while a rising barometer results in less pressure on their organs, expanding the stomach and making them more likely to feed.
  11. A misses who asks to go fishing, and in the rain as well! Wow, she's a keeper
  12. Congratulations! You'll remember that catch for ages, enjoy the high
  13. Well done, got yourself a nice feed there. Aussie Salmon smoked is not too bad as well!
  14. Do you only want to fish off the rocks? How about fishing from the beach? It's safe and you can catch pretty much everything from the sand depending on your set-up.... Bream, Flathead, Jewfish, Australian Salmon, Tailor, Sharks.... You'll need a beach rod but you can get those pretty cheap. Go early morning or late afternoon, learn how to find gutters and use fresh or live bait if possible. Good luck!
  15. Thanks for the update, nice fish there. I went for a jig last week at the Peak and got jacketed on the first drop so moved on to twelve mile. Had no real issues with jackets there. Didn't catch much there either though haha, apart from a decent bonnie.
  16. Thanks for the report, great read! What live bait did it hit? Yakka, squid?
  17. Huh slow day?? Come fishing with me, i'll show you a slow day haha... That's a great feed there, well done.
  18. Sounds like you had a great time and got yourself a nice feed, well done
  19. That's a great haul mate, well done! Were you fishing from a boat? What sort of rig did you use to catch them?
  20. I had a fish off the beach at Garie earlier in the week and didn't get a hit either. Spent more time trying to untangle my lines from all the weed than actually fishing I think people have better luck fishing off the rock platform on the left of the beach but it gets busy and you need to keep an eye on the waves.
  21. Awesome sydney snapper, well done!
  22. Good report and nice catches, well done! Wish my mrs would come fishing with me
  23. Well done, thats a great Kingy, especially land based! I'm sure he'll be replaying that catch in his mind for a while to come.
  24. Thanks for the great video, really enjoyed it! What depth do you usually get your fish at? I know a lot of people get their reds between 20m - 40m, but ive always had better luck in the deeper water
