There is also a ramp at Shellharbour. Kings are off the break walls and around the islands. Be careful going between the shore and island to get to Hill 60. Very shallow and can break where you don’t expect it.
Orange mark is ramp at port Kembla. Bugger all parking though.
thanks for the info mate

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

Hard to say without seeing the lure . As a rough guide the diameter of the single can be at least the diameter of the treble.
Thanks for your help mate
ended going to a shop and getting the right hooks by comparing the hooks with the lures

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.

Hi folks,
I have been tried to catch at Wanda Beach and other spots in Cronulla and just wondering whether my gear set up is suitable for this area: I am using a single 3/0 suicide hook and a metal pilchard lure (the suicide hook is at the bottom while the metal lure is at the top part) of a 40cm leader tied to a swivel and a sinker (150grams). I use small pieces of pillies through the suicide hook. Hope I can catch tailor/salmon. Yeah, it sounds pretty amateur but I am looking forward to moving on.
Thanks! Fernando.
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

hello COS, is it off the boat or landbased? and where about is the north head of botany bay, couldn't locate on the map, if culd help. thanks
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...

Went there 3 times for a look. 2 of the times it was pretty rough so not many fishing the other time there were about 5 caught with a sixth caught off the point by a guy spinning.
Thanks mate...what time did you go to the rocks.
