-
yep Nice!
-
nice work mate! jew of the beach is something I have yet to do.
p.s. you got invisible leg thermals on? looks like you're rugged up from waist up but you're wearing shorts?
-
I use the LED Lenser H14. Awesome head lamp, you can change it to focus on one spot or shift it to spread a wide area.
It's re-chargeable too, one charge usually last me the whole night. Check them out, you won't regret it.
-
hahahaha That thought croosed my mind.
you should have stuck around, they realy turned up in numbers around 1.30am
yeah maybe I should have stayed just a little longer, but then I might of ended up sleeping on the couch when I got home LOL
I think they were around most of the night, I just think you guys started to figure them out, and very quickly as well!
-
Groper, why would you want to fish with Quintrex480, by the sounds of things he was bad luck for
you until he left
Seriously though, nice catch, well done.
cheers
Hahahaha before I left, all Groper was doing was watching me pull in hairy after hairy. He then came over and asked me to stop catching all the fish, so I left. And look what happens, they end up smashing it! LOL
-
Hay bud nice work on the red what depth are you working in
work all the depths, 20-30 then to 45-50 and then to 60+ LOL
no one depth really always holds them, you need to go seriously finding them
LOL Paul, hope that bow was comfy up there.
Great video and fishing. Can never get enough of fishing vids on youtube.
Cheers Pete, heard MH was a disappointment the other day... I'm sure you'll let us know when those kings are back =)
-
WHAT THE?!?!?!?! when I left at 11, you guys only had 2 in the esky! and here I was feeling sorry for you guys for the reason I made the donation. You HUSTLERS!!!
and you end up with 16!!! HAhAHAHAH can I have my 2 back please? Only kidding, LOL. Goes to show, top fishos learn very quickly, legends!
hahahaha that was a crack up about the sabiki when you guys told me LOL
Great to meet you guys, we have to do it again soon.
BTW, who is Saan? LOL
-
great work buddy, good to see you getting your deckies onto them as well as you always do!
-
Damn now I'm Spewwing I couldn't make it
so are the other KFC boys LOL, next time buddy!
You did very well with no deckies. Was a good night, Since we haven't been Hairtailing for a while. Good to meet Groper and Chris too.
just lucky I didn't get onto any monsters, trying to handle the rod and netting big hairies usually don't work out too well by yourself.
Good stuff, nice catch you got. Congrats mate..
Good to see plenty still around....
thanks Ray, yeah still plenty around, but unfortunately most of them weren't that big. The big ones taste so much better as they are full of so much more oil.
What time did u land the soapies? And great report!
Got the soapies around 9 I believe, and thanks.
Well done some good hairys there !!
thanks mate
great catch , there a crazy looking fish
they are but top eating =)
Awesome catch guys
thanks buddy
See it doesn't matter that you have no friends with a haul like that. Good effort!
HAHAHhAhA, you would not believe how many guys turned me down during the week, then I had to scrap the bottom of the barrel and ask a guy that has never touched a rod ever before in his life, and in the end, he even turned me down. LOL
Great to be on the Hawkesbury with awesome company.
Awesome to see hairtail for our first attempt,now to cook up a hard earned feast
Chris.
yeah nice to finally meet a couple of legend fishos.
Nice work boys
thanks Luke

Hi Raiders,
Just returned back from a trip to Cowan on a 3 boat convoy, had a big can of V on the way home and now I can't fall asleep so what else am I supposed to do? that's right, put up a report on how we went.
Got to the ramp at 5:30pm, to see Formosan and co, and Basil (Groper) and Chris (Pongrass) already waiting with their boats. Had a quick intro and got the boats into the water, waited around for my deckie to only find out he piked on me last minute, so a solo session it is. But the good thing about that is, I get to use all the rods to myself LOL.
Started off slow, I couldn't get a yakka if my life depended on it, but soon enough I finally got one, got 2 fillets and whacked them on. Get hit straight away, and pulled in the hairy, then for the next couple of hours I was getting bite after bite, managed to pull in 8 hairys and a nice flattie, and missed half a dozen hairy hits as well. Managed a couple of soapies as well, and one of them took a tiny piece of pillie on my sabiki jig which was meant for a yakka LOL.
I think the other guys did pretty well themselves. Hairy season is still in, so go out there and get them =).
-
thanks all for the positive comments.
I got cameo in it.. excellent video mate!
I thought the music was great. Where do you find these deckies from? strange double handed way of winding in fish and falling asleep in the bow.. We've been pumping out lots of Vids on our youtube channel. So subscribe to see more.
yeah, thought I'd give your handsome face an appearance =)
hmmm.. as for my deckies, I just pick them off the street hehe
-
Hi Raider's, been heading down to target reds lately, and we've been taking some footage. I decided to make a mash up of our recent trips.
Hope you enjoy it.
-
Basil mate, cracking result once again! well done!
I hear from a little birdie that we'll be fishing the same waters later this week =)
-
happy belated b'day mate! and awesome red you have there! well done on the PB.
-
Yeah I think I cleaned up on the plastics at most tackle stores Lol. Yeah, see u guys on the water soon.LOL I think we have all been burkleys favourite customers lately!
Good work mate, 65cm is an awesome PB especially for first time targeting snapper! Like pete said, he put you on the area and you fished it well, your persistance during the day paid off!
Catch up on the water soon.
Great report Quinney, that must have been an awesome feeling to bring that first big fella on board after all the preparation and anticipation.
The big snapper is definitely on my bucket list.
Cheers Larry
Thanks Larry, yeah going for snappers is top fun, shame about having to go so far to do it.
Hey Zarn, great work buddy. Good to see you smashed your PB
.Conditions where great on Saturday.
I was talking with the guy from the bait shop and he was telli g me that some block caught an 11 kg snapper near the foreshore boat ramp last week while going for jewies.
What are your thoughts? Fact or fiction??
Cheers Daniel
Hey Dan, thanks mate. 11kg red in the bay? Hmm... Think a little far fetched maybe? But then again, who knows. I did land that 20kg king at the third runway the other week *wink* *wink* lol
Thanks buddy, that line of guys willing to lend a hand is getting quite long now Lol. Will definitely keep you in mind if I need a hand.awesome job Zarn
If you ever need a helping hand to catch these fish, I'll put my hand up haha
-
Nice one! Good to hear the hairies are still around WB, but Jewies from chicken? Will have to give that a go next time. How big did they go?
-
Gongrats Boys, once bitten by the bug there's no turning back, now for a bigger model
thanks Groper, yes the bug has bitten and I can't wait for the next trip!
Woooohh some nice snap snap there, good to hear the search payed off
yeah it was a lot of searching, but did pay off eventually.
Great effort mate ! I'm still learning the art of snapper on plastics !!
thanks buddy, but I think I have to really concentrate on the bait as well, from what you have shown us.
Hey mate,
Congrats on the PB. Thanks for the mention in the post. All I did was put you in the right area..... You did well to get the fish, especially on your first attempt. Just goes to show that a good fisho can catch anything if he puts his mind to it.
Don't worry, you'll get your chance to return the favour. Next time we're both down there if you find the fish first, I expect a phone call.
Pete
mate! I can't wait to return the favour.
Looks like the berkleys paid off!!! Nice work on the reds fellas.
Cheers scratchie!!!
thanks Scratchie
Well done champ!. Nice reds there , Hopefully the season gets better and as Dtrojan said it is is good to keep in touch when out on the water not just for intel on fish but for safety reasons.
.too right buddy!
Great result! Which plasric and colour produced the most fish?
not sure if it's coincidence but again the nemesis in nuclear chicken =)
480
You tinny bastard. I spent all day Friday trying to find em and only managed a couple of pannies and a gummy. I was fishing with a gimp though (and no I'm not referring to moir Pete)
Look at your drifts - looks like you've gone nuts with an 'etcha sketch'.
Johno
Johno mate, your problem was that you didn't have Pete and Mike searching as well ehehe and most guys would call a couple of pannies and a gummy a good day out.
hahaha checked out my kids etcha sketch tonight and it did look quite similar

Hi Raiders, you've probably seen a few snapper reports lately, and my one doesn't compare to some of these guys, but I'd just like to share what was my first snapper trip. You might recall Formosan reporting from a couple of weeks back on how well he did, and that got me all fired up. So we took 2 boats down last Saturday, and hopefully we could get the same result.
During the week, I think I became Berkley's favorite customer, I stockpiled a sh!tload of plastics and jig heads, 5inch jerk shads, squid vicious, 7inch jerk shads, Nemesis range, all of them in different colours. 1/2oz, 3/4oz, 5/8oz, 1oz, 1.5oz. Man and I thought the amount of squid jigs I have hoarded over time was a little crazy!!
Never targeted snapper before so not sure what to expect, but I was excited, gunned it out of the ramp towards some of the marks I have jotted down, and then to the next mark and so on, and all we could manage were mowies, bakers, reef fish, parrots, BLAH BLAH BLAH , where the hell were these snappers all these guys have been landing?!?!?!?! Then I get the call from Formosan relaying some intel from Mike and DTROJAN, packed it up and GUNNED it over to where they were which was about 15clicks south of our position.
But still nothing after a few drifts, the dredded thought of DONUT started creeping into my head, DOH!!! Then I just decided to go looking for them a little further south, I see some good marks on the sounder and I say to my mate, I think I have found them (I was just kidding!) but first drift, with bump, bump bump, then bang, I am on. Forgot to loosen the drag, and I nearly crap my pants as my rod tip goes in the water, quickly loosen it and the fight begins, not long after, a nice 65cm red appears and netted WOOHOOO! smashed my PB by 30CM!!!
Re-do the drift and we get onto a couple more decent reds (47cm and 50cm). Then the current and wind started roaring, even with the sea anchor out, we were drifting so dam fast it wasn't funny, see the pic of my drift lines, we almost painted the whole screen yellow with them LOL.
Well that was my first snapper trip, it was a tough day but ended up ok, owe the guys mentioned above for sharing the intel, without them, it would have definitely been a DONUT! hopefully one day I can return the favour.
thanks for reading. -
Lol..... I didn't mean it that way. We did well considering it was a quiet day. We worked hard for the 10.
There are days when they are on the chew and a lot easier to find.
Pete
LOL, man I worked my butt off for 2! Navionics tells me I did approx 60Kms that day!!!
-
No probs boys. It was a quiet day in general, in my opinion. We had to cover a lot of ground before finding a nice patch of fish.
Glad to hear you got a couple also.
Pete.
Now you're just rubbing it in now Pete, 10 awesome reds and a quiet day?
I would love to have that kind of quiet day anytime LOL.
-
Yep, Formosan's gratitude also extends from me. Your intel helped my boat land 2 decent reds at the end of the day.
They are some awesome reds you guys got into, you guys really know that area well.
-
Now that is one big haul of haries, congrats mate!
P.S. think you need a bigger and longer esky next time
-
hey Nick! well done on the reds and too bad about the big one that got away. We had a tough day, but ended up getting a few towards the end, so wasn't too bad.
if you had hung around at the ramp just that little longer, we would have definitely came over to check out the crusher

yep, just to clarify, the rechargeable batteries are actually 4AA batteries, so swapping them out is a cinch.
another thing it also has are different modes, like SOS flash mode, just in case you ever run into any strife and you need to signal planes searching for you
