Congrats on the Gummy mate! - Caught a couple over the past 5 years or so, beautiful eating... I have actually been targetting them off the beach since July last year with no success, all i've been catching is small jews and salmon and the occasional Lizard, I fish the Cronulla beach mostly up near greenhills. Any tips on the gummys lads?

What shark's were you lads pulling up? I caught a cracker bull shark up near Akuna Bay about a month back, would've been at least 2m long... there in there! lucky the waters so deep they dont surface to much

Yeah mate the groin on the right side of the caltex wharf. Has produced some cracker flatty sessions there over the years. Cant get the smile off my face after the jew, hearts still racing! Spewing that there around the 2k mark for the peddle yaks... Might be able to find one cheaper with oars i guess?

Fellow raiders; Long time reader, pretty much first time poster. Started off last night... approx 6pm and ended 1am this morning... ahhhhh wait, that wasnt fishing, that was spent at the pub with work boys! So after a few to many beers last night, i decided to call in a sicky. Woke up about 7am ith a thumping headache, stopped at the servo for a pie and a can of coke (hangover cure) Got down to kurnell with some softplastics, flicking around minnows and 3inch silvery gulps. FIRST cast got a massive WHACK!, second, third, firth and so on nothing, i kept flicking to the same spot for about a hour. on about 8:00am BANG! I was on, after a 10minute fight which felt like an hour, i pulled in my FIRST EVER JEW! coming on 87cm on a 3-5kg shimano outfit with 5pound braid, my heart was racing and with no one around to witness it i decided to take a couple of quick pictures then release her for another day. As good a feed and she would have been the colours on it where amazing. a really white silver that looked to have a purple tinge on her top half, had me thinking that this fish was always in clear water, possibly the ocean. Stayed for another hour with 6 flattys ranging from about 30-75cm, kept one at 65 as there in prime form for eating at that size. WHAT A MORNING! I will get some pics up ASAP. On another note, I saw a guy out on his fishing canoe with foot peddles having a ball on the salmon and kingys, only about 50m off the caltex wharf between the hotwater outlet and the beach. Does anyone know how much these things are? and where its possible to get a decent second hand one? They look like great fun.

Yeah its getting really frustrating ... Been trying kurnell near the caltex wharf, and nearly every single one of the groins there without success, lilli pillie, gymea baths and numerous locations around the hacking where I can get to landbased... I need to get something soon because my confidence on plastics is getting worse and worse!

Does anyone fish landbased around the hacking or botany with SP's and HB's? Also is there any landbased Jewwy spots for SP's? - Have been trying for months now with 'ONE' hookup to a 45cm flatty. Been using squidgee wrigglers and some 3` gulps. Any tips on location, and what lures to use would be much appreciated, feel free to PM me if you want you're location hidden.

Hey mate, I also fish landbased around the hacking, have only just started to get into soft plastics my self, have caught ONE flatty the past 6 times I have been, no luck with bream, trevally or any other species, thinking about giving the hard bodies a go, I could also do with a few pointers about what soft plastics, hardbodies work best landbased, and any decent locations to!!
