Hello fellow raiders, As the title suggests some of us won't be fishing until further notice due to these unfair lockdowns with "LGAs of high concern" being affected the most. So being the last chance the wet a line I decided to throw some plastics around in Chipping Norton lake which is within my 5km zone in hope of a Jew or a flatty or two. Ended up with 5 flatties ranging from 30-45cm..perfect eating size... If it wasn't chippo lakes, but non the less had a good time. The fish were caught on Z Man 4 inch diesel minows and grubs , rigged on 3/8oz 4/0s Stay safe raiders Jeremy

Sorry to hear mate.. I lost my father/fishing mate this March to cancer.. Life's not fair sometimes.. But condolences to you and the family 😢

Great report 👌

Would be interesting to see how others prepare them, caught a bucket load yesterday in Sydney kept a few but no idea what the best way to cook em up. Always a good sesh when the action is to hot for pics 👌

Likes wise Donna & Stew was great to meets you guys this year. Have a better and happy new year

Solid fish mate.. Garlicker does it again.. Yew!! 👌👌👌

Nice one fellas 👌

It was a real struggle.. Not just with the snapper.. Couldn't find a squid, lost a good jew and pulled the hooks on biggest snapper of the trip. But that's fishing.. Always good to bump into a few raiders though @ Stew, Donna and Jeff

Great post 👌

Quick report on hairtail scene at the Cowan/Hawksbury system..I have been going out once a week with a good mate for the past three weeks chasing the elusive hairtail and managed a couple of hairtail per trip. They have all taking a liking to pilchards on gangs with a red glow stick, but this season the majority of hooks ups seem to happen a couple of hours before sunset and just into the night. Tried toughing it out through the cold a chilly AM hours for donuts🥶 WB has been absolutely dead compared to previous years and JB has been the go to.. Raiders what are your thoughts and experiences?

96cm all day.. Nose of the fish is a bit over 🤔congrats brother always looked at the garlicker thinking what does he see in it but it's served you well multiple times. Yeww.. can't wait till September! better not be a second lock down 🤞

Count me in Jeff

Congrats guys on becoming a father and grandfather. Some nice fish there as well 👌👌

Great fish fellas on a day where it seemed tough going👌

Congratulations on your your first Jew.. One to remember

Nice fish guys.. They have been so fussy.. I was fishing there on Wednesday and had similar results. Marking alot of kings but they were almost all holding near the bottom. Downrigged for an hour without a touch on fresh squid, so decided to spot lock and fish straight up and down on 30lb gear ended catxhing 5 of them, suprising all legal fish bar one. Also lost a good one but i think mr bullshark is lurking around

Nothing worse 😒 she'll be back 🤞

Damn them big girls just inhale it to far.. At least your getting the big bites.. Top fishing fellas

The elusive port stephens kingy.. Nice feed boys 👌

Great fish fellas..I'm itching for the next session.. Only 8 weeks to go

Congrats on the PB.. Good to be out 👌

Ripper fish mate.. You deserve it

Killed it Jeff some nice fish guys

Just got home a few hours ago @woodsy.. How is the new location change? You should come down sometime soon for a snapper sesh and a few beers with Jeff and I...

It doesn't happen often but when it does it makes them fishless trips worth it.. All about persevering and patience
