plenty of good beaches south 20 mins towards pacific palms elizabeth/boomerang/blueys sorry cant remember which one we used to go off the rocks at but it was the southern end as for foster the bridges are lovely for whiting/flathead and bream and Dolphins lol Mudcrabs are up the back reaches if you get a tinny beware the tides they get very strong around those bridges/entrance

from what ive seen online they appear to be conical face mask size at one end and basketball size at the wet end but for $100 id try making me own

jeez im smiling! Rockfisherman u legend thanks for the very generous offer and id be happy to pay any costs my son will be stoked ive been putting him off for 2 months now to do some fishing in reply to my cleaning method well after each outing i would just run a cold tap over it /shake it off and then dry it off as far as i know if i actually open it up warranty is voided im just annoyed that its obviously so easy for salt to get right inside where i really thought would be a sealed unit like i said my previous baitcaster lasted a good 5 years and probably several hundred outings and was treated the same way it only stuffed up when i lent it to a mate and the thumb release broke and parts werent available thanks so much for all your help guys and really big thanks to Rockfisherman for his beautiful offer ill send u a text cheers

hey at least he remembered the bungs lol cheers

Bought a new baitcaster just before Xmas to replace my old faithful of 10 plus years not being too rich i spent around $150 on what i believed was a trusting brand over xmas /new year i used it approx 6 or 8 times after each sesh id give it a good rinse in fresh water dry her off and put it away for next time before easter i went for a fish and noticed the drag and gearing didnt feel quite right [ a bit clunky] so i took it back to place of purchase and they in turn sent it in on warranty now 8 weeks later after numerous [we are waiting on parts excuses] i get the call Sorry but you reel is severely corroded inside this is not a warranty issue the parts will cost nearly the same as a new reel what do u want us to do sir !! Now my points to them was hey i washed the reel after each outing my previous reels have lasted years not months just how the hell could u prevent this if i cant open her up and waterblast her out because id void my warranty There offer on a 10-20% discount on a new reel was a joke as if id buy the same piece of S$#T again so now im screwed no money to buy a new reel well at least for a while anyway dont know if i can name this brand but i sure as hell will be telling everyone fisho i know to steer well clear of there rubbish as for my local fishing shop well im pretty pissed off with them as well D@#$A = CRAP rant over cheers all

by the way fish aint scared of rain!!!

yep COTM will be a 78cm salmon falling in someones backyard lol

you wont need mirage drive if ya brother paddles lol mind you fishing wise get a yak each there are some cheap versions from our chinese friends on E$$$.com.au

yep have to agree Burley Burley Burley even a tin of cat food with some holes in it [please dispose of can afterward though but seriously there areplenty of fish hiding around scotty island had some wonderful nites as a younger fella sitting on wharves in pittwater hooking stonker bream just dont expect them in the rush hour times get yaself some pillys and sqish em mix with stale bread crumbs/cheese grated/tuna oil/cat food/chikken pellets whatever add some water turn to a slurry freeze into blocks the size of your burley bucket get to a nice quiet spot pop the burley bucket in then have a few beers while it starts defrosting [watch where the trail is going then cast into it] good luck

just did a search on that spike on youknowwhtube the video looks like it does a nice job

keep them alive as long as possible dependant on your religion iceing before the act works we just stabbed em in head and the ripped them in 2 then cleaned em out quill/guts /membrane rinsed em off sliced em up and crumbed or did salt/pepper/flour and deep fried em for as little as possible beeeutiful forgot to add we used to let em ink out in a net when we caught em

just berley up for livies there is also a good hole virtually north across the river with flathead bream and if ya lucky jew

well im off to try my secret spot in a few weeks i dont even get wet just lure them out with some pilly on a line and net em best day was 7 lobsters but it has been a few yers since ive been

never used a float for pigs just fished the wash off the rocks if the drummer are there it never hits the bottom we just used the weight to a:cast out far enough without losing bait and b: to get it down to the bigger ones quickly to beat the small scavengers cunji only lasts one bite! on occasion we would bread burley some lovely platforms off bilgola /whale beach/avalon etc got a monster silver drummer 10kg plus most blacks were 1-5kg drummer love cunji and also crabs thanks to there love of crabs was the reason i found my secret dont get wet and catch lobsters spot! if you want to know where that is pm me and ill tell you NOTHING

well the areas you describe could also be home to those lovely moray eels and without a real heavy line they would smoke you once they tie themselves in knots i did a lot of pigfishing in my younger days of the nthn beaches 30lb line to a running ballsinker to a 2/0 hook with a nice lump of cunji always exciting even a 2kg drummer would try and drag you in

nice work she looks shipshape

nice catch what sorta softy nabbed that jew and do u need a glowy on it? heard reports of lotsa hairtail at jerusalem bay in last week gonna have to have a go soon [damn flu/cough]

well as the name suggests they like a muddy bottom which is usually accompanied by mangroves a strong box style trap [not witchs hats] is a must bait it up with mullet/carcass well really anything i spose [i got one with a roast chook carcass] i believe it may be one trap per person unlike witchs hats oh and handle with great care if you like having all your fingers

what fish shop is that never seen hairtail in fish shops before!!

the tyre size should be on the side of the tyre ie:165/15 stud pattern dont matter unless you need a rim with the tyre why not justbuy it from your local tyre shop at least they fit and balance it?
