cant see any photo! however its not the size/make of the rod ITS HOW U USE IT

you could try walking north around the point from apple tree bay to this wharf sorta thing and cast out towards the centre [big drop off ] and thank god its cold last time walking around the track met an 8ft black snake on dusk i believe a wire trace or very heavy mono is the go as well and dont give them a rex hunt peck!

damm thats a lot of gutters thats what you call beach fishing heaven

my moneys on a bull shark!

nice catch and yeh nice flounder [if ya like bones lol] i guess you were around brooklyn dangar? gonna have to get back out seems their biting

hey there grew up at narrabeen pipeclay point is on the south side of the lake /down below the war veterans/old peeps home on collaroy plateue if you drive down plateau rd from the top you turn a sharp left at water level from pittwater rd you access via mcteir st near fire station and head towards lake veer right b4 u go up to plateau its a sail boat ramp shallows etc wander the edges north goodf or a flick sps etc

nice catches there suggest an edit on your post though unless your 75mm jew was 2 and a half feet wide lol good fishing

you could try a single pack polyurethane adhesive [used for glueing timber/parquetry floors we usually buy it in sausage form [goes in a cylinder gun] but easy to just punch a hole in and squeeze out not too sure whether bunnings or the like carry it is available at flooring supply shops and possibly timber yards Bostik and mapei are some of the brands i know of a shop at taren point and one at brookvale/hornsby and chatswood pm me if ya want details due to low absorbtion you would probably want to let it set for 2 or 3 days oh and its around $8 for 600ml enough for a dozen shoes

seems you have a new record there well done nice way to start

inside patonga creek is the go my young fella was catching dozens in the shallows 1-2 foot deep dont think 1.5 mts is very tempting for a small baitfish try shallows oh and he was just using a 2 litre juice bottle with a hole in the top/side then weighted with some rocks

sorry thought burley was a given!

yeh i know didnt believe it myself till i saw it and yes around lion island it was probably lost lol

seems hawkesbury/Lion Island is going off at the moment last 2 days mate has got Tailor/Trevalley/Flathead/Spanish mackeral [70 odd cm] some thumping bream 40cm /bonito and lost a big 90plus Kingie also some squid about Wish i could get out there Good luck to those that do

big rods big bait big hooks and sh#T loads of patience deep holes or eddies/structures/bridge pylons or buy a lottery ticket same odds lololol

confused!! u mean walking park at fishermans beach north side there is also a boat ramp there

awesome catch there ive gotta get me boat back in the water bobbin head is calling

great thread resurrection! i believe the drift is your best bet along the back of lion island also watch out for surface action [salmon/tailor]

well i think if there are any nippers they would be on the sand banks near the ocean bridge at low tide of course but to be honest i dont think i ever saw people pumping nippers in the lake [i grew up there] if the holes are there they should be though

well if you want to try off some safe rocks drive down to palm beach park on the pittwater side and follow the track around the west side of the headland some nice big rocks looking north into the heads but well protected from the swells take a good light some food and drinks and make an evening of it toss some gang pillys or such out with a strongish rig you never know what ull get landed plenty of tailor/rays /sharks and have lost plenty of big mofos good chance of salmon and kings maybe even a nice jewie

yeh nice we saw one in apple tree bay a few weeeks back

sorry no boat hire at patonga there may be somewhere on the brisbane waters /gosford area though but you wouldnt take them out to the river/heads

we camp at patonga for 2 weeks every xmas for last 7 years great spot creek/lagoon is very shallow so at high u need to wade out to channel [although the biggest flattie we saw was the one me mate nearly trod on wading back thru 2 feet of water to unhook a small flattie the one he nearly stood on was 90plus he reckoned?? or fish at the entrance/rock wall outgoing tide if ya have a tinny or kayak theres crabs prawns bream flounder flathead whiting blackfish herring[well it looked like one] tailor and possible jews [did i miss anything!! mind you size does vary lol heres a link http://www.gosford.nsw.gov.au/recreation/patonga.html about 50 mins from berowra just byo b4 u go the pub charges $$$$$$ cheers p.s. at low tide thers tons of nippers at "nipper island" lol u can wade across to it on a low tide its a few hundred mts up creek

back of lion island drifting usually fishes well too but keep an eye on the swells rolling in good boat launching from apple tree bay bobbin head / mooney mooney road bridge or parsley bay at brooklyn u could also try around cottage point and keep an eye out for surface action have fun good luck

dipping your jig in tuna oil may entice them i always seemed to get the buggers when i had a whole pilly on gangs maybe try a pilly on one of the "spike jigs"

lotsa bonito/aus salmon and flatties on the drift round lion island mate has been cleaning up last few weeks
