[West of Sydney before close]

Nice fish in small water just over the mountains, they are there, just have to cover alot of water.

[Anyone know current conditions in Coxs River]

Hey Arron,

Let us know how you go, Planning on a trip closer to the close of season.

[Burley and Kings]

Typically, Berly will end up ruining a good kingy spot. Yes it will work some days, however i find that people find kingy haunts, and berly the crap out of it. Pretty soon you will have the yakka's bream, trevally, sweep you name it, take up residence, every sort of fish that puts a very quick end to your live squid or cuttle.

So for me, no berly, and patience in a known haunt.

I was lucky enough to actually be paid by fisheries to assist them in a tagging kings of all sizes.

We had 17 under water recievers placed in various places around the harbour, these recievers picked up the fish as they passed. Most fish passed all 17 recievers in one day, so yes, they continually move.

To answer your question as to why they didnt bother the Yakkers at all ??

This is a bit of a stab in the dark but I have found Kings to be a very focused feeder. they are either onto yakkers or squid, or cuttle or garfish etc. They will bite on one, and not the other. I have noticed that particularly late in the season like now, that Pillies do do the damage. This is perhaps why they didnt bother the yakka. PErhaps they knew they were safe ??

[2001 Ally Craft 4.55 Bay Raider ?]

Hi Joel

I have a Burmuda 4.65 , However its really a Allycraft with burmuda stickers. Great boat. never been an issue, The Merc would be my only concern, never liked the "black anchore" heard too many bad things over the years.

[St Croix rods]

My mate built mine from a blank ( 8 Ft ) Cant fault it

[Abercrombie River ?]

Hey Guys

Any reports of fish from the Abercrombie this season ?

Fished it as a kid from private prop, which has now been cut up into hobby farms and access is now no longer.

Was thinking of giving it a creack next season, but dont want to waist my time like i did this year at the Turon.

Baldy

[Abercrombie River ?]

Hey everyone

Any reports on the Abercrombie prior to close of season \??

heard that carp have moved in ?

If your in the know, please let me know ??

[Freshwater fishing comps ?]

Any tips on some good inland fishing comps would be appreciated ?

Have always done the Nelson Bay comp and we are now looking for something different.

Within a 4 hour drive of Sydney would be preferable

thanks

Baldy

[Too much Burley?]

Berly for the bottom feeders, but please dont berly for Kings. Yes it will bring a king over if in the area, but the problem is that people sit on a popular spot, could be a Marker or a wreck, and berly up. when this happens for days on end, you bring in the little jackets, squire, sweep etc. Hard worked for Squid then get pecked away.

I've seen it over and over again. Makes some spots un fishable

Baldy

[Turon. Dont bother.]

Sorry lads, should be in the freshwater sect

[Turon. Dont bother.]

Four days camping on the Turon, for nothing other than the shi!s.

Day 4 ended up in a drive back south to the Cox. THANK GOD.

We came across maybe 6 to 8 fish, hooked 2 landed 1

all fish seen where keepers.

Unfortunately the Turon is again barron, other than Carp.

Baldy

[Cox River after rain?]

i think anywhere on the cox is worth it. My only suggestion is to walk a long way before wetting a line. Try to get past the fish that have been spooked regularly

[Cox River after rain?]

Cox is fine, they didnt really get all a that much late last week. Saw a few nice river fish, and caught a PB going 2.405 kgs. WOrth a trip

[Cox River ?]

Considering that most of the talk of the Turon has not been great, we are now going to give the cox a crack

Has anyone got an reports they want to share or to PM me ??

Thanks

baldy

[Where to fish]

Hey Karl

Just so you know

Carp are to be destroyed and not released.

Considered a pest here in aus

There is plenty of the buggers too,

Chris

[Turon ?]

[Turon ?]
