    Hi raiders, I normally fish for Jews south coast batemans Bay Area and surroundings. Have a few days off next week so I was thinking of trying somewhere different. I know there are a lot of spots around but I heard Illawarra has some good spots? Anyone fished around there? Could someone point me in the right direction? Only land based spots please. Cheers guys. Happy Australia Day 

    Are you after jews of something else? 

    Port Stephens DPI notice

    G'day Raiders,

    Saw this on Facebook. Posted yesterday. 

    Notice to Fishers in Port Stephens area

    NSW DPI and Huon Aquaculture are undertaking a research project to assess the viability of Kingfish aquaculture in offshore sea pens off  Providence Bay Port Stephens. 

    Last week, severe storms damaged one sea pen leading to the escape of Yellowtail Kingfish.

    Fishers are advised that a fishing closure was implemented today. Recreational and commercial and fishers may now not take fish within the Marine Aquaculture Research Lease. 

    This is a temporary closure (till 7/2/18) to allow farm repairs and recapture of farmed Kingfish. Mariners are requested to avoid the lease area during recovery operations with ongoing diver assisted repairs to mooring infrastructure and sea pens.

    Very nice report Tara, good pics too. Bet the Carp were good sport on the fairly light gear. Decent Flatties too. Cheers, bn

    Carp were fun. Different style to what I'm used to, left the bail arm open until the line started peeling then flicked it over to strike. 

    Thanks again for the tips. :)

    G'day Raiders,

    A quick report from the last week. 

    Camped down at wollondilly for a few nights last weekend and did some lazy fishing with corn as bait while the kids went to check out the caves and landed 3 carp all about 50cm. Fun on light gear. 

    Couple of days ago I hit up the shoalhaven river for a flick for flatties. 

    Landed 8 in 2 hours in the middle of the incoming tide. All just about legal or just under. The bigger ones haven't shown up in that spot this year. 

    For those that have been asking about plastics lately, all caught with a zman 3" paddle tail in bloodworm. My go to at that particular spot. 8lb braid with 12lb leader. 

     

    Cheers

    Rah

    LINE COLOUR

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    I'm sure there is a debate on line colour affecting catch rates. I use white, bright yellow and pink. Never had a problem on any of these. 

    I'm sure I have read that white is good for bait fishing. And colours better for lure as you can keep an eye on your line better. But if you are using a decent length of leader it shouldn't matter too much. Happy to be told otherwise. 

    Is it mono or braid you are using? 

    Cheers

    Rah
