Vodafone has good 3G reception at garie.

Mate stradic ci4 are a great reel so smooth and light. I have a 3000 and I can't fault it. Cheers seem very durable to.

Lucky we didn't have to watch you on an episode of bondi rescue. Lucky you saw it coming.

Sorry to hear hope you have a speedy recovery. So easy to slip on rocks. I was fishing with a mate on some rocks at balmain when he slipped on some sand and lost his footing. He then looked where he was going and decided to jump so he wouldn't hit his head or something It was a 5 to 6 meter drop when he landed he shattered his heel they had to slide him up an extension ladder in a stretcher. As they were lifting him up about half way one of the carrabeenas sorry for spelling snapped. It was lucky they had a safety on. It took him 3 months till he could even walk around with a moon boot. They had to put plates in his foot with 7 massive screws. He only recently got them out after about 2 years.

Stradic ci4 3000 extremely smooth and light with 7kg drag.

You could try Clifton gardens.

Yes that would work to. I just finished a job with lots of sprinkler pipes. The things you get off job sites hey.

Hi all with it getting hard to find sash weights came up with a cheap easy way to make them. Get some off cuts of pipe I found gal a bit heavier then tape up the bottom and fill with sand and cement. Finally drill a hole at the top and put rope through.

Mate we had a 4m tinny with an 18 hp and it got us everywhere even the heads and we used to put it in at kissing point wharf. Went quick enough. It was a mercury 18 hp.

Done good luck

Anything west of harbour bridge you should only eat small amounts.

Most tyre shops have old tyres they would be free or cheap

We trolled for 8 hours out past browns. Headed north we found water to 25.2 found one school of mac tuna busting up worked that till it disappeared. Then worked the shelf back south. Only caught 1 mac tuna which we used as bait for a couple of jackets and a nice snapper.

You can get those horizontal rod holders that have a strike setup. All you do is pull straight back and up and the rod is out of the holder. Your ready to fight the fish. Great idea I think.

Haven't stopped catching them. It's just that the currents have been strong and it's a bit hard to keep the weight straight down. But there there. Good luck.

I've caught a few nice salmon off garie. Best bet bet regarding surfers get there before them. Gates open at 5:00 am. As for surfers and rips they use them to get out there to catch a wave.

Mate the iron cove can be productive at times try using a burley. Get a bucket get some bread, chicken pellets, tuna oil maybe some old pilchards mix together with some water and throw in hand full every now and then. This brings the fish to you. Sometimes worthwhile having a rod with heavier line similar rig to the one you mentioned but with 2 hooks around a 5/0 with a pilchard or squid might be lucky to pick up a jewy just leave that one in water wile you have fun with bread butter fish on the lighter line using prawns, worms, small squid or chicken. Also there are a lot of different spots to try there try under bridge both sides or off ferry wharf or if you on city side looking at water look left there's some rocks going out into water try the end of them. Good luck

Yes we were out there to started out at browns for 2 blue eye one about 13kg and the other 2 or 3 kg and 2 red perch. Heard reports of marlin at around the hundred meter mark so left browns for a troll should have stayed ther because the yellow finn starting busting up every where and a striped marlin was caught on the tide change. But that's fishing

Went out to browns today water was a very nice blue averaging 20.1. Caught 2 gemmies and 2 blue eye. We also had a bit of a troll for marlin with no luck but all up was a good day.

One day I was fishing the hacking in the national park. I caught a flathead about 60cm brought it in swung it round on to the rocks about 3m from the shore. The fish jumped of the hook bounces round a couple of times and lands in a crack in the rocks. The only one around and swims off was the only decent fish all day.

Seen them use a grappling hook attached to a rope. You attach it to your line slide it down it then goes over the fish and grabs it. You then simply pull the rope and up comes your fish. Great invention but not so effective on a nice marlin. Who would have thought you could catch marlin off the rocks. I have a hole DVD dedicated to ballooning of the rocks they even have kiddies pools full of live bait. Looks like fun.

Tried to do that before on a jet boat. Not as easy as it sounds hanging over the back of a boat at 20 knots is pretty scary but it does work.

Estuary perch mate

And I used to joke about catching barra in the parramatta river. Who would have ever thought it would be a reality.
