    last year this time we headed out for the night [wife said wed be backin an hour it was about 10degrees]

    advance thinking told me to take a tarp along and we found that throwing it over the bimini canvas and securing it down turned my little 4.6mt half cabin into a nice one bedroom bedsit

    im sure the rum helped and our offgassing but we were surprisingly warm allnite

    oh and the offgassing didnt seem to deter the fish

    i did forget we had thermos on but i think the rum negated my memory [they were only $20 from rays]

    if ya can keep out the breeze its actually beeeutiful!

    yeh it gets dark out there

    suggest you head in to the bay a bit find a deep hole 15mts or so and settle in 10mts is actually shallow around there

    waratah is also good

    funnily enough if ya get out of the wind it stays rather warm [thanks to mr bundy]

    oh and going by that mighty sounder pic [wish my was that flash]

    i would add ive been led to believe hairtail swim vertical not horizontal which may equate to all those readings i could be a fool though!

    for the novices! me being one

    hairtail rig that worked for us last year was 3-5kg line to a 12-18inch wire trace with 3-4 gangs dependant on pilly size

    we attached a green glow stick but ive heard red work best [cant say either way]

    if needed a a weight above trace to get it down

    i really should get my 9yr old to tell you he caught em all even though we all had the same rigs

    his idea was let dad bait it

    let dad cast it

    wake up when dad screamed

    and just wind the sukker in!

    im gonna hit Waratah this saturday and try and get a 2 mt specimen

    watch out for hawkwind if ya out

    cheers

    fish were coming on as we left

    guys next to us bagged 2 flattys 45cm plus within 10 minutes of showing

    they also mentioned that last saturday some guys were catching heaps of school jew around 5kg on squid

    gonna hit it up again for an allniter in a few weeks

    small ? are throw nets legal in nsw

    the guys near us used one to grab some baitfish

    i know years ago they were illegal has this changed !

    narrabeen lake is still closed at the entrance

    id reckon an evening near the road bridge/caravan park could be quite good with all the dredging /sand removal they are doing

    and yes not a good idea eating fish up the river around balmain etc

    well as for prawning Full moon is usually a waste of time

    would you like to have to stand out like a beacon to all your enemies as you raced for freedom?

    i think fish are a little the same

    so full moons for me mean fishing deep often with bigger baits

    full moons also mean larger high/low tides or at least i think more depth between high/low

    so great for water movement but more current

    ive usually had great luck for pelagics ]tailor] on a full moon

    but less luck for your bream flatty etc

    cant talk about jews cause i still havnt landed one lol

    please gurus correct me if im wrong

    cheers

    ps never give up

    Carp Fishing in Sydney's South-West

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    Hey mate there are heaps in Parramatta river up where Parra park is, not really in the south west but i can guarantee they are there. I usually fish there once a week using corn ( has to be edgell super sweet ) or a dough mix is working really well at the moment with mulberries, maple syrup, flour, corn flour brown sugar and tinned corn juice to get the consistency right. I've caught and released heaps around the 70-80cm mark so i know they are there.

    Ben

    i thought it was illegal to release carp

    they are a bloody pest

    catch kill bury

    i actually launch at appletree all the time but i do live at mt colah and have a park pass

    if your on the xpressway mooney mooney is only 10 or so mins past mt colah/bobbin head exit and it takes nearly that to drive down to appletree anyway

    plus if your planning to fish dangar/road bridges etc or even go down to lion island car fuel is cheaper than boat fuel
