  1. very nice haul mate well done which bait did u use thanks
  2. hi, try fishing around the wharfs...rose bay / watsons bay /clifton garden / balmoral burley with old bread you can buy a bag for $2 at most bakery use pilly / chicken / squid strip on a paternoster type rig without any sinker (10lb trace will do) and just let it sink thru the burley trail and most of the time you will catch yakkas snapper trevally jackets and even a kingy (caught a 61cm kingy while trying to catch yakka for bait lol) usually use hooks size from 4 to 10 or use big hooks (1/0 to 6/0) when u get sick of catching small fish lol
  3. the spot is off avoca drive near the rock pool theres a path that will lead you to the ledge from the parking area near the pool pls be very careful if you havent been to that spot pls check swell and wind before you go to that spot can be very dangerous if the swell is over 2m the waves will definitely come up if the swell is over 2m been there when the swell was over 2m and it was very scary two of my mates have been swept off that spot by huge waves and both are lucky to be alive today both of them were not wearing safety gear and wont go back to that spot ever again always wear safety gear goodluck

  12. hi raiders decided to check avoca today hoping to catch a bonito or two. mate pick me up around 330am and got to avoca around 5am rigged one rod with whole pilly on float and another rod with squid skirt on float after 10 mins the rod with pilly went off but by the time i got to the rod the hook came off quickly put another pilly on the float and cast it to about 15-20 from the ledge decided to spin the squid skirt on float and after the 3rd cast i landed our first bonito for 2018 hi 5s with my mate the bonito bit my middle finger while i was removing the hook from its mouth while i was putting the bonito to the esky the other rod with the pilly went off so i told my mate to grab it and landed our 2nd bonito for the day in the next hour or so we had bites on pillys on float lost a few with the hook coming off or the trace got bitten off we only had about 20pcs of pillys and we run out of bait by 7am we landed 2 kingys 63cm and 67cm quickly release the 63cm to fight another day the kingys were both caught on the pilly we decided to use a chrome lure my mate got from kmart and fought over a dozen bonito and only landed around half a dozen the big bonito up to 60cm preferred the pilly while the small ones preferred the chrome lures by 830 me n my mate landed 13 bonito and only 1 kingy decided to pack up around 9am due to our arms and shoulders starting to hurt home around 11am thanks for reading

  19. hi raiders, hope everyone had an excellent xmas!!! decided to fish botany bay instead of sydney harbour today due to the sydney to hobart race got to the ramp around 4am with two of my bff (best fishing friend) plan A was to troll the heads the wind and swell looked ok from the forecast which was not 100% accurate more of a 50/50 guess work anyway decided to go straight to molli point which was plan B and catch some bait the wind was starting to blow when we got to molli point and decided to anchor around the reef but one of my bff started to get seasick swell was around 1m so decided to troll the south heads which felt like forever to get there swell was getting bigger and bigger as we get near the south heads so decided to turn back to molli point when we got back to molli point one of the rods went off with the rapala longcast in pilly/sardine color and after about 5mins we landed our 1st fish for the day a 60cm kingy which went back to fight another day one of my bff asked me if he can go back to the ramp coz he was really gettting seasick seriously so trolled back to the ramp to drop him off decided to troll the 3rd runway from end to end for zeros so decided to head back to molli point half way down molli point towards the beach two of the rods went off one with the rapala longcast in pilly color and one with the halco dd redhead after about 10mins we got 2 bonito in the esky trolled molli point 3x more but no more takers so decided to anchor at the reef hoping to catch anything that we can take home plenty of throwbacks around the 25cm mark (trevs/snapper/flattys) were using pillys and prawns for bait hooked one pj and one banjo on pillys after about 1hr decided to troll molli point again for zeros so decided to go back to the ramp where one of my bff had fully recovered got home around 3pm thanks for reading
