i have a 30plus year old alvey that will still drag a big pig up

if you fish around bondi at least the accent will be familiar oh and welcome

one day you will wake up to yourself! busted knuckles ! lol dunno how you think u use an alvey but busted knuckles was never relevant to me or my mates in 20yrs have seen many a fool with an exploding eggbeater though

thats a top black pig well done i used 30lb mono on alvey with my 13ft beach rod still lost the occaisional big fella but the long rod gave me a good advantage oh i hope you bled them quick

There are alot of different area's to fish around the spit bridge area. You can fish under the bridge on both sides and this can produce catches of Bream near the pylons. Live baiting with Squid, Yellowtail or Mullet in the deep channel can produce Jew and King fish for the lucky ones who are willing to put in the time and effort, and Tailor can be taken in the channel as well. Other species can also come out of this area including Flathead and pike. Fishing around from the marina in the bay on the southern side of the bridge can produce good catches of Bream in around the boats and moorings, Flathead are also good catches from this area. Burleying up with bread can attract Garfish that can be caught with the aid of a float, or with bread files on a fly rod. Further around the bay a bit further on the rocks you might be able to find Leatherjacket, Flathead and Bream. On the other side of the bridge you can find some area from the rocks to fish, and further around there is a large area of sand flats where you could wade and try for Flathead, Whiting, and Bream on hardbody and soft plastic lures or flies. copied from http://www.shorefishingaustralia.com.au/Locations.do;jsessionid=53D72F04B847466939BC4B5D37876083?action=ShowRegion&regionID=1#2 hope im allowed to acknowledge that http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&q=spit%20bridge%20fishing&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=1469l5641l0l11l11l0l4l4l0l328l1625l0.3.3.1l7&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1920&bih=975&wrapid=tlif130986297242111&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=il study the google map plenty of good spots to try u probably have a parking permit as well

dominic i notice your at balgowlah Why not try down at the spit bridge Kingies/tailor/flathead /bream/whiting around the sand as well its a great bottleneck and some good deep water maybe for Jew on a run out

nice stuff and that was one pretty port jackson shark glad he got a safe pass back home well done

shame all those little fellas never had a chance to grow up though!

off the beach bronze whalers are the most common ive hooked some 8 footers and fought em hard for 30 mins before letting them go on my old 30lb alvey setup with 13 foot rod most ive caught have been with ganged 2/0s but hell theyll bite anything unfortunately finding a friend who will wade in and help land 6 foot plus sharks seem hard to come by lolol also be prepared for rays [they run a bit stop a bit run a bit suck to the bottom a bit] although again as ive found out getting your mate in the shallows with an angry 6 foot ray is also an impossibility oh and be prepared to be stuffed and virtually at the point of collapse after battles i tracked up and down newport beach one night for near 90 mins with an estimated [saw him] 8-10 foot bronzey after cutting him loose i collapsed for an hour to drink a 6 pack that nite i was using a wire trace which in retrospect was a testing mistake although alveys did make the going easy in some respect i dont think id like that strain on an eggbeater definately give it a go any decent slab of meat will get em as for burley well sharks are scroungers maybe a trail of pigs blood will help but ive rarely had problems hooking them [landing them is a different story] just do what i do decide to target jews then your sure to hook sharks

is the bait/tackle shop still at north narrabeen shops?

Fisheries Dept?

best time around the ocean bridges is always at night when its quiet

grew up around the lake back when they water skied and dredged bream hole?? no idea! although i think youd tend to find em ocean end as said caravan park /ocean bridge is always good for bream/whiting/flathead flathead up the back wakehurst parkway/deep creek way know of some 1mt plus specimens caught the entrance is a great spot for jews if the entrance is open and prawning at the right time of year most of the lake is fairly shallow however at the bottlenecks [pittwater rd and ocean street bridges] the current does gouge out some deep areas

id suggest contacting your local authority ie: national parks/council etc im sure there will be signs a plenty anyway but that may not help buy a cheap gas bbq i believe u can nearly always use a gas bbq just take the plate off [except of course in extreme fire conditions] sorry cant help better better still take a warm woman!!

that pig woulda fought hard hope you bled em quick though if ya gonna eat em!

nah big sinker with ganged 4/0s

awesome stuff great catch

hope its a comfy leather one with bells

did u get a strapon rod bucket???

my old star drag alvey and 13ft rod serverd me well for 15 years a rod bucket belt is a must though

i think daiwa suggest keeping at least 100metres from any water source
