possumms

They are beautiful eating very small fillets but worth it all the same They are a plague in some areas unlike the leather jacket you always get your hook back lol I have been stabbed many times by there spikes they are painful for a few mins but I have never had to cut a days fishing short due to a sting from one So anyone that catches these give them a try they are worth it YUM YUM

I picked up a 1.3m one about 2 weeks ago out side Botany Bay They are a fun catch for sure hoping for snapper but got nil Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hay thanks guys for the info I just decided to buy all the Transducers I ended up getting the B60 through Hull ducer just waiting for it to come I was going to buy the 1K ducer but most of my fishing is in less than 100m and lowrance recommended only the 600 Ducer, all tho im told I can run both but buying a splitter so I will look into this at a later date

Hay Samythesamlon I have the icommand setup on my boat and I just brought the nmea 2000 starter setup took me 2 mins to connect that I called Lowrance Australia and they told me what I needed to set mine up maybe give them a call

Hi all I'm looking to replace my Garmin unit but I'm not sure what brand Furuno or Lowrance both are great brands but having talked to reps from both they both say Our units are better blah blah blah lol I'm leaning towards the lowrance hds 9 touch or hds 10 I mainly fish in 20m to 50m chasing snapper and kings but have also started chasing tuna now Please give me you views thanks

This is interesting Hyperostosis As they grow, all pink snapper develop bony humps on the forehead. This is called ‘hyperostosis’, or above-normal bone growth. Older males also grow fleshy bumps on the snout and it is thought that the males use these bumps to nudge females at breeding time, as if to stimulate the release of eggs. Who knows why In NZ they don't get this problem unless they are found in very deep water but even then it's never this bad the bump is weird

I don't mind kashwai in lemon it's nice altho it's even better when smoked with plenty of brown sugar and a pinch of salt ( all fish in Australia don't taste the same as nz, nz is much nicer specially snappers not nearly as sweet but hell good all the same..

Yeah jackets they are a paid in the backside can't believe they can bite 80lb braid clean off also think I lost a bit of line to Anyone know how long the strong current will hang around out there seemed like it was running at about 5 - 7kph just crazy

Yeah I was alone first time I have hooked something big tho normally only catch coke bottles out there on small skirts lol Still I do ok

Hit the ramp about 530am Monday don't really know the bay that well so head out to the heads just inside to the south tried for some bait the got a few squid but no slimies or yakks so I the run around the bay with still no luck so I headed out to 12mile.with a few skirts in to picked up 2 skippys Once out the reef I put down a line 80lb brad with big baits only to feel 2 bites then my line went limp pull in to fine my sinker and weight font so on with another rig only to have this happen again another 4 times so I went back to the 12mile reef boy to catch my first dollie boy was that fun I caught 13 biggest 89cm all released then headed back to Botany Bay with some skirts out to pick up 1 more skippy and lost something very big to hard to drive boat and fight a large fish so I found out anyways great day out Just wish I know where to catch bait and more squid in the bay

Nice work is there much bait around

Well I'm looking responsible friend as most of mine are always busy, Chip in with a bit of fuel and bait and let's go I love to fish down in Jervis bay I have a very good boat 18ft with 130hp I'm still learning Australian waters and fish Drop me a message sometime with a bit of info about you and see how we go Oh I'm also a keen diver too but still have not used the boat yet for that

Hi there mrsswordfisherman with no disrespect to you but to ask a question that leads to a report is still reporting, I know myself that I myself don't read the fishing chat looking for reports and to be honest I don't read the fishing chat that often manly due to time restraints and you will problley find that a lot of raiders don't altho they will read the reports often, there are times like this with my post that other raider members will give a report once prompted, the site has a mod post that states members need to step up and report I also know that I myself see someone asking for a report ill give mine even if I got a zilch catch, I don't often report if I caught nothing and you will also find this is the same with a lot of members but again a lot of members will report it if they see the reporting question asked even if they caught nothing, this help members like me save a lot of time and money in fuel costs reading or asking questions that lead to reports.. Please other member that read this give an opinion I think it's worth asking a question that leads to reports in the reporting section of the forum Thanks for reading and giving your opinion Thanks for your time reading this mrsswordfisherman

What is a dollies guys

Nothing better than man made burly lol thanks for the report

Sure it's not a report when I asked the question but the guys helping myself and another raiders out by giving there reports of what is happening ARE REPORTS Thanks to the raider members for your reports, it's expensive to tow a boat from sydney to Jervis to catch nothing when there is zilch around

Anyone got reports on Jervis bay any thing biting down there thinking of heading down Saturday night from sydney to get an early start Sunday

Went out today launched at rose bay went out to south head was on the water at 5:10am got a few squid but did not find any slimey mackerel or yaccas seemed like the harbour was dead as a door nail tried fishing all around south head Anyone else have any problems catching livies

Thanks heaps guys

Hi all I'm looking to target slimies need to stock up on some bait is there anywhere around sydney north or south that's just full of slimies I'm getting far to many yakkers everywhere I go Also wanna catch some skippies too I have a boat so boat fishing is best Thanks in advance
