I have Broken bay, sydney heads and bate bay. I Only used the Bate bay one as I fished out of Port Hacking all the time. In your above picture of the Bate bay chart there is a reef we called boomerang reef due to its shape on the chart, you can only see part of it in your picture it is outside the two smaller reefs east of the port hacking, we caught good reds and other reef fish there by anchoring and berlying or just drifting. The charts show Jibbon reef, osborne shoals, the wanderes, the merries, the hole off wanda beach (sand) and other reef stucture. Again not shown on your above picture is a couple of sand gutters that run into the reef off Cape Bailey lighthouse, this area was our go to spot as long as the current wasnt racing. We would anchor and fish floating baits with minimal lead and we pulled numerous snapper from there, if we didnt get a 5lb fish we had a bad day. The biggest from this spot 13.5lbs and on that day we also got a 13lb one. Some days we would get several good fish. We used full pillies with a single 4/0 hook with the small sinker running to the hook. We didnt berley as this attracted the sweep which were then a pain.. Sorry for carrying on but the above picture brought back some memerios. I dont fish outside anymore as I sold my seafarer viking which I still regret about 8 years ago. I reckon it would still fish the same as when I fished years ago (we fished this spot for around 10 years). Also hooked a thresher shark there which I think are rare catch. Cheers all Glenn.

Have heard of this before so there maybe something in it have heard people put in painful joints (knees/elbow) for pain relief. I think I will just use it on the car etc.

30 odd years fishing outside at anchor in 5.7m to 4.3m boats all good no sharks going the prop. Seen many sharks whilst fishing during this time. Have seen the videos of big sharks coming very close to boats and mouthing their props, I am lucky this hasnt happened to me or any one I know. Just fish and enjoy it.

The cod looking one is a wirrah known as a old boot. The other one looks like a sergeant baker. Glenn

Sure you just need a chart for the area you are boating in and I bought mine from a ship chandler shop. Glenn

Watch out for the small rays that get up on these flats
-
Even attracting small fish or bait fish to your area with berley is good as these can attract the bigger fish..

Gutters are deeper water running out to sea or along the beach, rips are water movement which swimmers can get into trouble in as crossfire 63 said usually running out to sea.

Thats insane, how does he get it on and off, I used to do it with a 10ft tinny with no motor and it was a pain.

There is a tutorial for a stradic in the reel maintenance section, dont know if it will help but it may be worthwhile to check it out.

Tackle shops sell treble covers that fit over the treble, I just checked one shop and they sell them for $1.95 per pack. These should do the job.
