Ok guys i currently have next to no lures but wanna get into them and give them a go! Dont know all that much about them but have been reading up a lil bit of the forum! So what im after is a nice lil list that would get me started covering most bases. Ive heard and read alot of the rapalas cd7s and 9s they seem to be a goer for tailor/salmon/bonito. Feel free to share whatever u guys use and find effictive I fish saltwater and out of a boat and am happy to hunt anything Cheers.

Hey Guys Well my name in Shaun , im from Campbelltown , 22years old. Girlfriend of 5years Have a 16ft nautiglass runabout , not much but definatly gets the job done! Occupation Carpenter work 5days and then weekends try to get out for a fish as much as possible , although is limited , doesnt help not having to many others interested in fishing or the passion i do , guess thats one of the reasons i join fishraider. Do live a pretty full on life , but hopefully plan to get out and meet some of you guys for a fish or three

Ive purchased the GPS Handbook a few weeks back at the fishing show , marks in there for browns mountain 34 02 130 / 151 39 400

Looks like your day turned out ok in end. And no arguements from me about the wheather out there today , shocking , but all in all u had a good time

Ah thanks , and im not so sure bout the name Sunkist after todays outing , alot of other names popped in mind

Forgot to mention , no camera so no pics , sorry guys

Got up for an early start this morning at boat ramp about 6am , only to find that id left the Boat keys at home (about 50minute drive with the trailer) got someone at home to run them down to us took 40mins so by this time was nearly 7 , finally we were ready to head out. Launched the boat only to then have the battery have no kick in it , so there i was with the oar pluddling to the wharf , by this time the my old man had come to see what was wong now? So up to the car he went to take the battery out , couldnt/didnt want to waste any more fishing time. Put car battery in and we were away , mind you its nearly 730. So off we went happy to be out AT LAST , trolled up past mollex point round yarra bay up near the island no luck , swell was about 3/4m rolling through. Brought the lines in and headed back down to molles point to anchor up and try bait fishing fishing few small bream and snapper here , nothing legal so all went back. Wind picked up majorly anchor wasnt holding so off we were again , this time just off the runway using mixture of baits from prawn , pilchards and squid got few nice trevally 28 to 36cm , a couple of whitings round 32cm and highlight of the day a wobbegong shark measuring a rough 1.5metres , got him to surface , got a good look then he broke off. didnt matter he was going back anyway. That about somes the day up , conditions werent the best , far from it but after the morning start we had , had to make something of the day. Will be out again tomorow but only just the georges in a mates boat My first report so im not sure how i went , let me know guys. Sunkist

Nice report pity the fishing wasnt up to scratch. Hopefully better come weekend when i get out , fingers crossed

Nope , been through a couple of owners now , all on ausroatry , first to qld wore the plates YNV8S , then syd to issac (aka WANKEL) and now fabe (aka ETABT-1)

Wouldnt exactly say know but im from glen alpine also and ausrotary , use to own the lil white 1300wagon

You being another i take it , and judging by your user name and my memory serves me correctly your a Rotary fan from Glen Alpine???

Now i know this , it gives me that extra bit of incentive to get my but out there for a fish on the weekend

I knew i had read it somewhere but wasnt sure if it was somewhere else online , ah well now that im a member here it shouldnt happen again

Woops , i didnt see that post

Dont know if its been heard by all but straight out of todays telegraph..... Six new small artificial reefs have been created in Botany Bay with the funding from fishing licenses. The reefs are part of a 3 yer $369k pilot program funded by the Recreational Fishing Trusts. The reefs will create new fish habitats in the bay and attract various species of fish. The 6 reefs are made up of 180 concrete reef ball modules, which can easily be moved or removed completely, if necessary. The new artificial structures are located in Yarra Bay(3) , Astrolabe Cove(1) , Congwong Bay (2) at depths ranging from 9.6 to 14.1m. Research will be carried out on the reefs to assist with future artificial reef construction and their effectiveness. Botany Bay is the secind recreational fishing haven to trial the artificial reefs. Six similar artificial structures were deployed in Lake Macquarie in December last year. REgards Sunkist

I might only be new to fishraider but i looked at quite a few other fishing sites and forums before joining here and i have to say that fishraider has to be Number1

Hey guys , Im a n00b to fishraider and this is my first post , ive done quite some reading through the forum though and i like what i see , thats why i have joined I am Sydney based out the Campbelltown way , currently own a 70s model boat , Fibreglass, Nautiglass runabout , 4.5m , 85hp Suzuki. Looking to upgrade at the moment or VERY near future as this is my first boat owned for about 5yrs nows. Do most of my fishing in the georges and botany bay , hopefully i can now get a bit better insight into sum of the hotter tips , techs and spots. Well thats my rant/introduction for now.
