Uni knot for all the light stuff up to 20lb, anything heavier I go to a fg knot....awesome knot and simple to tie, the more easier to tie the better

Thanks a lot guys really appreciate it! Yea the only problem is your not allowed to camp on stockton anymore! Apparently there's parts of the beach you can't even 4x4 on, it's a shame though..

Hey guys I'm looking for a beach to camp on, fish for Jew and tailor or salmon and 4x4 so I'm near the car, anywhere up to about a 3-4 hour drive up and down the coast, just with a couple mates Any location would be greatly appreciated Cheers.

Nice fish mate, do ya mind giving me a pm of what charter you and your mates used? Thanks

Mate what an adventure!! Awesome slabs of fish you've got there, congrats!!

Twin hook rig with a deep gutter on a rising tide and you're set mate

Well done mate congratz on the work! Just wondering what rod do u have matched up with the stradic?

Its a 7 footer so its not too long so you get more leverage and long enough to avoid rocks beneath your feet at the closing stages of the fight.

Mate go for the wilson texalium, the RLFTX09 is an awesome off the rack rod and will be perfect for north coast blues. Has a soft tip but also a lot powerful deeper in the blank

Hey raiders I have recently gotten into squidding and would like to improve on it as squid is awesome bait for jewies. All I am asking if anyone could give me a heads up on any land based spots around Sydney harbour where I can catch squid regularly. Cheers

G'day Cheap Charlie Mate you will be lucky to get a spot around the tubes during this time of the year, all the lbg fanatics are down there now having a shot at landing a beakie so I would reccomend fishing beecroft instead, only if you're up for it though!

Thanks for the replies guys! I think I've got it set up right now, appreciate your help Cheers

Thanks for the reply guys! Considering your replies, i have 40lb black magic flurocarbon leader and i asusme that this would be a good propositon for spinning but if you have any other leader brands that you reccomend that would be great as i have not experimented with many others. Thanks

Hey Raiders! I recently bought a new Shimano Starlo Classix shorespin rod with a Shimano Stradic 5000fi and i've loaded one spool up with 20lb braid and the other with 15lb. i will be chasing bonito, salmon, tailor and possibly some rat kings. I'm not quite sure what leader to use and if you could please tell me what brand and the strength to use it would be great

Thanks for the help! I'll probably go for braid, mainly because i can fit more on with a stronger braking strain.

Thanks guys, appreciate your help. I was suggested that mono would be a better choice, is that an issue?

Hey Raiders. I just laybyed a new Shimano Starlo Stix Classix shore spin rod and i've matched this up with a Shimano Stradic 5000fi and i had a feel of it yesterday and it feels pretty good. My question is what line should I use for the Stradic, I was thinking maybe braid but I'm not sure, I will be using this outfit for spinning off the rocks and off the beach with 20-40 gram metals and possibly some 30 gram surface poppers for off the rocks. The main target species include salmon, tailor, bonito and maybe some small kings. Thanks

Tanks Pete. The last time i went beach fishing i bought some 'southern calamari squid' which the flesh wasn't pink but was white. Im also leaning towards ctaching some live yakkas and using them shortly after for a beach session!! But the MAIN thing concerning me is the moon phase. some say full moon, some say new moon and others have thier own theories. Im just so confused, the only thing that is most reliable is if i put in the time and try different nights and find out what moon phase is the best.

Good idea jot, I probably was already going this weekend, I checked out the weather before, and like you said high tide is around 6-7 for saturday and sunday and full moon is just around the corner. im already excited!!! Cheers

Thanks mate. I will take your advice into consideration and hopefully i will soon get that whopper jewie Cheers mate

Thanks mate! I might just get some squid from one of the seafood shops near my area, but i may go to a sydney wharf this week and get some live yakkas, theres heaps of them at this spot and like you said its rewarding. i've got my aerator and massive bucket setup for the yakkas, but the thing thats concerning me is that how long will they survive??

Cheers, thanks for the advice. is it recommeded that i buy squid or mullet from the seafood shop? Because the last time I went fishing I bought a kilo of squid but didn't look to fresh.

Im only a beginner in beach fishing for jewies, but iv'e picked up a lot of info so far... I went down to thirroul (illawarra) the other week trying to chase the elusive jewfish. Me and my dad fished from about 7:30 till about 9 or 10 but no luck, although one guy caught a 75 cm jewfish and released it. i just wanted to know if anyone has any tips i can use such as swell, moon phase, tides. I've got my rigs and gear setup, but i just wanted some tips for the weather conditions. thanks
