    It's been a while in the making Stan! Only really starting to come together in the last few weeks. Having faith in the fly is half the challenge! Once I get some more hooks I'll send you a few that have worked if ya like

    i would love that mate! it could be a good excuse to come up to the goldy for a fish for a few days!

    mate you are doing so much better than me. I have been putting fly in front of bream and mainly longtom, they take the fly sometimes but i cant set the hook because they dont bite hard enough.

    The bream are even more frustrating, they just look at it.

    those are some awesome catches mate tremendous job

    A break in the weather

    Hey Raiders,

    GC weather has been terrible lately, if its not the torrential rain, its the wind (which still hasn't calmed down). There was a window where the wind was down to reasonable conditions so hit my pontoon and the beach at the end of street. Pontoon is currently holding small jacks, moses, big bream and the odd cod. Beach is absolutely plagued with yellowtail barracuda right. Every cast was one of these things or tiny bream. 

    Really hoping the warmer weather sticks around, a couple of blokes have caught small queenies and some really big red dogs. Enjoy the pics Raiders,

    In terms of lures, ive been using ecogear grass minnows, atomic hardz, jackson vibs, baitbreath plastics, berkley powerbait minnows, ecogear zx30's and have bumped up from 4 to 6lb.

    Cheers, Stan

    G'day mate.

    You can drive on the Tweed Beaches, but you need a permit.

    The closest free beach to drive on is South Ballina. You can get there by taking the Burns Point Road Ferry across the river. It's a lot quicker than driving down to Wardell & cutting back in. The holiday park there is huge & good fun. I go camping there at least once a year.Great fishing down that way. The Sth Ballina wall is famous for it's size & numbers of jew. The beach itself has more pipis than you can poke a stick at. Watch for the birds we call 'pipi eaters' & have a go where they are feeding. There are gutters everywhere & at the moment it's producing big whiting, tailor, bream, flatties, tarwhine & dart. Always a chance of a jew as well.

    You can drive right down to Evans Head along the beach. You need a low tide to cross the coffee rock section a couple of clicks north of Evans. Don't get me started on how good the fishing is in Evans itself!

     

    Thanks Jew Hunter, 

    Evans head sounds interesting, i dont think im confident enough to hit that beach yet though. Any beaches you are aware of that i can drive straight onto (no ferries etc.)

    Cheers!

    ^^ i think it got mentioned above, the last tip i have is dont waste your chubbies on them (im talking about lures here). Those lures are too short, and you run the risk of gut booking or them rubbing you off.

    Longer minnows like 70mm or longer are much easier to de-hook

    hey Jeff,

    RMG Scorpions in purple or Black with the read head, look for the ones with P50 Bibs, they dont seem to snag up much. Or El Cheapo Berkley Flicker shads in black/gold, mullet. Troll them along drop off's and if you hook one, troll in a figure 8 around that area you will prob pick up more - i do this from the kayak all the time.

    I find they work best when they are actually digging up the sand, this seems to really peak their interest. With regard to speed, whatever is going to get the lure digging is all you need IMO.
