Choice,Bro and great geographical diversity!

 

[FADs quiet]

Pulling in a flathead yesterday in 50m south of Longie when a marlin came up to about 3m .It was leisurely and not lit up.Not a big one,beautiful blue tail and pectorals.Slim profile like a striped but not sure.

[Huge flattie while chasing whiting on the beach]

The lines on your hand indicate a long and happy life,and that your next flattie will be a little larger

[New years Day Rose Bay Wharf]

First time fishing outing from rose bay on NY day.8 am police wisely tied up having a coffee awaiting punters. Funny, few to be seen .Easy launch and GOT A PARK!!!!Amazing.Went outside to Dee Why wide,excellent fishing for reddies,two trag ,flathead and mowies.One stonker but old style phone camera  overfull, so no evidence taken.School of tailor 200m off ramp.Harder on retreive with plenty at ramp. Good day on the water after NYE.

 

[Change of plan bears results]

Good catch and a lesson or two there!

 

 

[Officially now recognised as a national legend!!]

you two won me over with the cave where young seals hide away from the sharks.....Attenborough -like quality reporting!!!!

 

[Seal Rocks advice please]

Head North to 3Miles off Baldface.Very good kings and reds at times.Look for pro traps.Lots of reef heading North from here.The pros call this the New Ground.Baldface is an obvious half moon shaped cliff .Can be lots of trag or jew also.Plenty of flathead anywhere,often plenty of current around .The bait comes mainly in autumn,when you get much more fish than November but still good.Let us know how your beach launching goes,good luck.There is also a reef rising to 10 m a mile off the beach a mile out and a little north.you catch big pigs here with prawn.The Skeleton looks great but is best for surface fish trolling,or gathering slimies,

 

[Terrigal]

Also the Skillion early for surface fish

 

[Sydney Sunday]

Don't mind a bin pic!!!

[Manyana and Lake conjola]

Last week loads of frigates in shallow .also plenty of good sized squid just out from the Bendalong ramp.A small silver lure very effective for the bonnies and frigates.Good luck.What a beautiful area.

[Port Stephens snapper!]

Wonder what happens to fish that break off trailing line .Probably shark poo?Sharks would detect tiring prey.

[The one that should not have got away]

Bill you have taken the tinny man"s worst nightmare on the upside.Great to hear your positive outlook.The wife"s theory is that the perpetrators have taken the boat to sea and scuttled it,based only on the debris looking very much like a piece of bowrider upholstery or seat being undamaged,not torn or damaged .it would normally be spotted at the time of the incident one would think.B......it? Maybe.Cheers

[The one that should not have got away]

Thanks.Sorry i did not see the injunction not to post crime info on Facebook of 9th Dec until now or would have posted less specific matter.Sincerely hope we can help ginko.What an awful experience he has had.Cheers

[The one that should not have got away]

Rang maroubra Police and they are asking the surf club to pick up the piece for safekeeping.

[The one that should not have got away]

This morning there is a large piece of white boat seat or upholstery leaning against the wall at coogee south end pool.It has been washed up and not been in the water long as it has no weed growth on it.A long shot but the tide could have taken it out and the current or wind south.Could be part of bowrider upholstery

[Past two days.]

They tenderise occies in a cement mixer at the fish markets

[You fished where?]

Bendalong..........what?Fishing rod!!

[Shark in the Hacking]

An old Shark has been seen in the Hacking about 1.85m nicknamed ET

[Lord Howe Is best charter operator / who to avoid?]

If kingie fishing Old Gulch first find a dead squid washed up after spawning or whatever.Deadly using strips under afloat.The locals will tell you where to look for one.

[Sydney - King Session]

Sure was a hot ratty bite.Was that big black/white boat working ?it was around that floating yellow buoy/whatever.I reckon the barometer triggered the bite.Cheers

[Squid Jigs - Opinions?]

When they are tentative you can feel them touching the jig only I have tried rubbing fresh prawn over the jig with no result but rubbing pillie over the jig got hookups.

[Rookie mistake]

Thanks.Interesting occies!!!!!!

[Saturday 8/8]

have you had good smoking results?i found with the hot smoker they shrivel unlike other other fillets.Cheers

[Montague Island 14/6]

Thanks for the great report.The candles are very tender and cook easily but the stomach sheet is different,good to know you cut it thin because we don't always succeed with the tenderising attempts.Cheers.

[Montague Island 14/6]

Any cooking report on the cuttle,or was it just for bait?What beauty
