Great report, very nice croc there, what do you reckon she weighed?

Thanks guys, will head out over the weekend and have a look around.

Hi all, Just booked another charter to hit swains reef on the kanimbla in March. I currently have a saltiga z4500h and was looking for a rod to match up to it for the reef fishing up there, I don't plan on chasing Gt's just trout & emperor etc. I don't want anything to heavy as I want to enjoy some decent fights not just skull dragging them out. Does anyone have a similar combo or a rod that you can recommend? Happy to spend up to $350 or there abouts. Appreciate your help gents. Benums

I was out there today, found it tough as well. Fished near bare island for 3 keeper flatty's biggest 45cm, also got two keeper flounder. Very quiet day! Swell did come up especially later in the day. Still good to be out.

I'll be down greenwell point next weekend. What has the fishing been like of late? would liek to go outside but I do not know the area to well. Usually fish the river. was thinking might head down to Pig Island to have a look around. got any recommendations?

I love reading your reports, always plenty of action. would love to come along one day to see it all. I live right on Kogarah Bay and get out on BB whenever I can but never with the action you get... good haul.

Hi, I live in the st George area and I am also looking for a land based squidding spot. I have always read around laperouse is best or Yarra bay. These are both big places though. Can you narrow down that area at all for me or any other areas nearby? Thanks, benums

Well done Oyay!!!! when you picking me up to come with you? happy birthday mate and keep flicking those lures!

you know what is funny. Last time I fished under the bridge for Jew's I had a live bait out on my jew rig, I was board so I threw out a 7" Gulp jerkshad in neuclear chicken on my bream setup... still no touch... I'd love to come out with you at some stage!!!

I must be doing something wrong, I have been in same spot with live bait in boat and cannot get a touch.... Live 3 minutes from the bridge.. ahhhh! someone help!

That is a cracker of a day.....

great report.... awesome fish. if you don't mind me asking what is a trip like this worth? would love to try and fit it into the budget. I just got back from a swains reef trip, maybe NZ is next years trip!

so what was the result????

Hey all, Had a good session out today with Scotty Lyons. went straight to Trevally alley first thing for sun up. had a good go there and caught plenty of trevally, kept our fair share about 15 or so and through a heap back. tried the troll around the bay there and then headed for the 3rd runway to see if we could find some tailor or salmon on the troll. Only got one on the troll. then we noticed some birds working at the eastern end of the runway. headed on over and done some spinning with great results, I'm sure at some stage all 6 anglers were hooked up at once. had a great session of tailor, we bagged about 16 tailor and one salmon, could have had lots more tailor if we hung around. headed into the beach for some plastics without too much joy, southerly start to blow up so went to Towra to try for some flatties but no luck. all in all had a great day on the bay with Scott. Thanks Scotty and will definitely be back out soon with you. make sure you get some pics up when you can.

Hey guys just back from the Point. Nothing to crazy to report back was a little quiet. Biggest I got went 55cm and 900g. Got half dozen all on plastics. Fish were very quiet. Heaps of small squire around. Thanks for your help

guys im not really a regular down there so where exactly is GP and the islands you are talking about. Im staying in the caravan park that is next to the bowling club. I know of an island that is just across from there but dont know of amy others. Will definitely try off the red post near the trawlers, I know there is a channel on the south side of the river heading tpwards the breaker wall also so will give that a try. Thanks guys. will report back early next week and let you know how I went. Cheers Ben

Hi guys, Going down to Greenwell point for a weekend of fishing this weekend. Just wondering if anyone has any experience down there or spots I can check out. I dont have a GPS. I was just going to use plastics in the river and channels that stretch off the shoalhaven. Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance. Ben

If you dont mind me asking what charter was it? I live in Oatley and would love to find a good charter out of the bay if someone can recommend one. Cheers Nice catch by the way

usually look for Flathead or bream... I dont usually go that far up woronora but I think I might this time. I usually drift around the 3 poles in Bonnet Bay. I will be using plastics, wont have any bait. thanks Ben

Hi fellow Raiders, I haven't hit the water for about 10 months or so as ive been to busy. Finally i will be getting out on Sunday. Ill be dropping the boat in at Oatley and was just wondering if anyone has been having luck in the Georges or Woronora? I was thinking of trying between Tom Ugley's and CCook bridges? Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance Benums

Thanks Huey, My dad actually took the motor back to #### marine as that is who we bought it off. They didn't even take the motor out of the boot of the car, they just said its cooked and here is a quote $2500 for a new one. They said it would cost $3k to rebuild. It was a month and a half out of warranty. So I spoke to a friend who knew a guy at #### marine. So I rang Steve down there and he said drop it off. While we were waiting he took it out back and pulled the thermostat out and it was full of weed & sand. The motor had overheated because of this. He said not an issue and he will get it fixed. I said go ahead and do whatever you need to do. Next day I got a call from Steve and he said the motor is ready to be picked up. I said what did you do to it. He replaced the head gasket and gave me a bill for just under $200. Steve is a legend and I cant recommend him highly enough. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts. Benums P.S: cant wait to hit the water again....
