thanks for the info mate

hi raiders need advice on taking a 4.5m quintrex with 50hp around port kembla / shellharbour this xmas holidays which ramp is the closest to hill60 or bass point planning to troll targeting kingys and bonito never been around port kembla or shellharbour on a small boat before any advice will be highly appreciated thanks in advance

Hi raiders decided to try night fishing on my mate 4.5m stacer. Planned was to leave home around 530pm hoping to hit the water by 7pm didnt leave home until 8pm due to the bad weather got to the boat ramp around 9pm and decided to go to Watson’s bay instead of Clifton gardens started fishing around 10pm until around 5am we we’re using pillys and chicken fillets for bait caught plenty of yakkas snapper bream trevs but only took home 1 legal bream 37cm and 1 Trev 35cm caught something big but it wrapped around the anchor rope wind started blowing early morning and started to rain for about 1hr decided to troll the heads from 5am to 7am catching 2 bonito on the halco redhead biggest bonito was almost 60cm funny thing when the tug boat came flying towards us because a cruise ship was coming in and told us to keep moving and the rod with the halco redhead went off as the cruise ship past us got back to the ramp but took almost 1hr to put the boat back to its trailer due to about a dozen boats waiting at the ramp home around 9am

Where to catch live bait most wharves holds yakkas slimys squid just burley with bread and use it for bait or use pilly strips squid strips mince chicken prawns use size 10 or 12 hook on 10lb trace on a float or just tie 2 hooks on a paternoster rig without any sinker and just let your line slowly sink on the burley trail how to rig live bait use the running sinker rig using a 50lb trace and 6/0 hook use a float only if there is enough room where you fish otherwise you will keep getting tangle with other lines trace length between 1-2m put hook in front of dorsal fin or use 2 hook rig plenty of vids on YouTube if you want more detail goodluck

My new portable rod holder/tackle box / seat

Thanks for your help mate ended going to a shop and getting the right hooks by comparing the hooks with the lures

Thank you very much mate

Thanks for the info mate ill try using owner hooks which size do you use for the 7cm lure thanks again

Hi all just want to know if anyone here got a replacement chart for the size of hook when replacing trebles on lures most of my hooks and rings need replacement i got lures ranging from 7cm to 13cm planning to replace treble with single hooks made by Mustad or vmc thanks in advance

well done mate...you won't forget that 1st one...now you will be aiming to do the trifecta...black/striped/blue...good luck...catching a marlin is one of best and hardest thing to do...90% boredom...10% mayhem...always a team effort...

hi mate whereabouts do you live? i got mine from penrith. cost me $245 for the license inc practical and theory. takes about 3hrs for the course. i used to hire a 6m boat with 150hp. best thing to do is know the boat 1st inside the bay or harbour before you take it outside the heads. the weather outside can change from good to bad in minutes. always check the forecast the night before and before u take the boat out on the day. i use willyweather for swell and wind. never take the boat outside the heads if the swell is over 2m and wind over 20knots. always check your safety gear and always your your pfd. goodluck with the new boat.

Caught my 1st one off long reef around lunchtime...

Mate Best rig for fishing off the beach targetting salmon/tailor will be a running sinker rig with half or whole pillys using a 2 hook or ganged hooks. I use 3/0 ganged hooks with at least 30lb trace so the tailor wont bite you off easily. Wanda beach is better in the afternoon just before sunset. Less people less surfers. Goodluck

Do you know what time was that???

Well done mate Thanks for the report What time did you go to the spot if you dont mind

Thanks mate...

North head is on the left side when you go outside the bay around the nsw golf course...excellent spot landbased is located at little bay but this spot is only recommended to experienced rocks anglers...can be very dangerous for novice anglers...extreme care is highly recommended...

Thanks for the info mate...bonito loves the cd7...i use the redhead and firetiger...very hard to find the cd7 these days...had to buy some from overseas...

Thanks mate...what time did you go to the rocks.

Thanks mate...my mate caught some off little bay last week...did u catch some??? Lures or bait??? We use squid skirt on float when targetting the bonito off the rocks or rapala cd7 off the boat...

My mate went to avoca lately and caught nothing between 5am to 11am...very disappointing...had to travel around 90mins to the spot...

mate try pier 2/3...get pretty busy...walk from wynyard station... milsons point...not far from the station... bamoral beach/clifton gardens...need to catch a bus from wynyard... watsons bay/greenwich wharf/macmahons pt,,,catch the ferry from quay... goodluck

Thanks for the info
