a decent bull bar will put paid to that what a joke a council limiting fishing to office hours only ! must be catering to council workers who dont do sfa during work hours

Ocean or pittwater side ? we used to get plenty off palm beach pool when fishing with ganged pillies we would just lead them along the side wall of the pool pop a net behind them and give the bait a yank and they would release and shoot straight back into the net nice size though very tasty

on a good run out tide they use the current to assist them getting to the mouth and Freedom!! so if your prawning up the back of the estuary start at the beginning of runout if your closer to the exit then the back half of the runout and preferably no moon hope that made sense

oh obviously a 200kg marlin then with a tiny mouth

sounds like small fish biting

cunji is definately the gun bait but it is also one hit and its gone if you miss the strike reel in and rebait best time to gather is at a very low tide and little swell

west shore opposite cottage point is worth a go mext time still a beaut day to be on the water

cowan creek heaps of bays jerusalem waratah smiths creek literally dozens and their are still hairtail about bream/flathead and maybe even a jewie

stick to bobbin head if i was you opposite cottage point usually produces and less toxins i believe

seen monster kings all through pittwater usually fishing of wharfs for bream id recomend lion island end for a better chance all luck really most around the inner pittwater are loners

yes unfortunately NO FISHING shame though be great if they had some spots you could at least throw a lure

cmon now having directions /advice never stopped me going rock fishing any where It did however give me invaluable knowledge of certain dangers at certain spots To think discussing great rock fishing locations /times/tides/bait and advice on what not to do could be considered endangering peoples lifes is totally ridiculous In fact its quite the opposite imparting valuable knowledge Common sense cannot be bought but in a way it can be learnt I think through these forums Yes Rockfishing is dangerous So is Driving to the shops Crossing the road etc etc Unfortunately with our multi cultural landscape we seem to be losing a lot of fisherman over the last 20 years Im still here as are a good 20 or more mates who know what where why I think imparting our collective knowledge can only help and certainly not endanger any one who reads the forums perhaps a specialised banner running through basic dos and donts could be attached to said posts containing rockfishing info any way a few cents worth cheers

The Ovens at Whale Beach South is awesome very high ledges ud needa tsunami to get washed in however i havnt been in years and u need to climb down im not too sure how u access it these days we used to walk thru a vacant lot but i doubt its vacant any more maybe some raiders are more up to date its a top place to stay overnite if your keen definately only attempt the climb in daylight with a good rope saw a guy get a 40kgplus tuna there once frikken awesome just google the ovens here is a pic http://www.flickr.com/photos/45121447@N00/171655273/

thats a cracker spent the night out a few weeks back my sons rod landed every hairtail[2] and lost 2 he had the cheap ****** rod lolol but 1.5 is a beauty well done

burley and wash close to shallows if you were a little fish where would you be?

i would assume you could siphon off the fuel from the top water should be heavier? after letting it settle then just run ya motor on clean fuel for 5 mins or so id think any resulting h2o in the motor will evaporate overnite after getting it hot

Cunji was always the gun bait back in my old rock hopping days also half or quarter crabs of course a good bread burley was essential to keep em keen and dont they pull like mack trucks congrats look forward to hearing more when you hook a good 3-5kg model

u probably should target some hairtail 10inch wire trace to 3-4/0s gangs and a glow stick [red if you can get one] whack on a pilchard and drop her down also a few tailor cruising around oh and keep a good burley trail going

the way i read that is no fish nets doesnt once mention crustaceans

just got back from an allniter at Waratah Targeted Hairtail and well succeeded sort of My son landed 2 approx 1mt or so i lost one on his rod after he crashed out my mate lost one as well so im yet to get a hairy but my son wins with 2 fish no losses got both fish about 2 hrs before high tide pilchards on gangs/wire trace green glowstick apart from that pretty quiet then at 9am this morning finally my rod goes ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 55cm Tailor Big fat boy he was anyway had a good time quite warm actually gonna try again in 2 weeks cheers all

lol i think they mean banning electrified reels lol bite zap drag up dinner and asif i could afford 500mts of line

bobbin head is my doorstep enter from turramurra side or mount colah side just google it great place for a barbq picnic and great play area for kids about a 45 min drive from the harbour bridge

well im planning on heading out with a mate and me young fella for an overniter this saturday Jerusalem or Waratah ??? any tips where to anchor up not to keen on motoring around once we are there around 5pm

i fish there every few weeks with my kids and so do a ton of other people seriously has a no fishing sign ever stopped a true fisho its not like its a ferry transit point we keep it clean and reel in if and when a boat wants to land and all a ranger will do is ask you to move on ffs and ive never seen a ranger there!! jeez what a pack of wowzers

Kangaroo point wharf on the south eastern side of the old bridge just exit the freeway left at mooney loop around to your right under freeway turn right onto old pacific highway cross the old bridge and then do a hard left and go down the hill to wharf bream /flathead etc etc comfy wharf and pontoon easy access usually plenty of parking campervan may need a 5 point turn to get out though
