Hi All Havn't been on raider for a while but with a few days off and some time up my sleave i can post a report. I went to Avoca yesterday morning and fished the ledges at sun up. Good little trip. I got a big salmon (live bait thief) about 3-4kg, also got a little rat just over 60cm which i kept for sushi. Also got completely wasted by a nice king that took a prawn on 6kg tackle (I have never caught kings on prawn and this one felt like it might have gone 6kg+). later on i put on a metal and got 2 little kings about 55cm that went back. Also tried a plastic but no success on that one unfortunately. I also met these Koreans that had catching rats well worked out. Hats off to em though they measured everything and at the end of the day had about 12 fish between 2+ each to take home and about 5 more each that they let go as they were undersized. not to mention some big bust ups as from what i could tell they were fishing lite as well. Anyway if i build up some more brownie points with then i can get back into my rock fishing full swing. I'm really looking forward to hitting the rocks again soon and having Mr Big hit that live bait on ther bigger tackle

Yeah i also got one under the road bridges about 10cm about 10 years ago with a few mates when i was in high school. It was pretty much our biggest catch accept for my fluke 1kg bream! I say fluke cause back then i barely knew how to tie a knot properly!

Gotta Agree with everybody on this one, Top Notch Tailor mate! That is by far the biggest i have seen and even heard of anybody catching on the east coast. Keep it up!

Hi Hustler I find that pilchard fillets often work well on the bream and the trevally in the system. Best bet for the bigger fish is to get a really nice burley trail going then float down fillets of pilchard or nippers. With this we usually get some big 2-3kg trevally in the main channels. I also find that the bays near the moorings usually have big bream and sometimes some large Tailor as well. I'm also new to this site but i used to fish port hacking regularly till i sold my boat (guess i still fish it landbased but a boat is deffinately the go so enjoy) Yeeros
