Mate thats a big biatch of a kingy, would have been an adrenaline jelly legs fight, congrats. cheers james

After a bit of talking me and domza are going to fish the fraser classic, hopefully in 4-5 years if it is still running, looks to be a top place. cheers james

Thanks heaps for that mate, not really worried about the depth ofwater this boat sits in 2 foot of water no probs cheers james

Thanks mate, i might also add The areas around the oil wharf produce some top quality bream, trevally, flathead, occasionally kings. The key to fishing all these places is burly, whilst around the oilwharf anchor up get a burly trail of bread, pellets and tuna oil out and float peeled prawns back for trevally and various other fish, just remember to follow the sign that says dont go any close than 100 meters from the wharf it's self. cheers james

Ya lucky bugger, got some top fishing up there, unfortuatly i don't have a soundcard so could not hear the drag screaming but a nice lookin fish. cheers james

Lol, im a pansey, i would not go in there, be to sacred of the weed touching my legs and other little creepy things like occys, blue ringed expesially. cheers james

I hate octopuses, just ask domza , that is a crazy video amazing that sharks do more damage to people though i would love to see a giant squid taking on a 6 meter white point . cheers james

Hi guys, how do i clean a leatherjacket? Silly question but i am unsure of how it is done, do they have to be skinned?. I also heard that there is good meat on the top of the head somewhere???? cheers james

Thats bloody crazy, good to see he is setting an example for other people, anyone a copycat here? cheers james

Happy b'day kbark, hope u had a good day and got everything u wished for. cheers james

Hi guys Me and domza are going out for a day on the cooks river in a 8 foot dinghy using a variety of lures and baits. Can someone please point me in the right direction of where to fish with what lures. Planning on using divers, chromes, sp's try it all but not sure where to find the fish. The gear being used will range from 6-10lb maybe take a lerger rod for jews. cheers james

Unlucky on missing out by 80grams, but mate thats a ripper bream, im still waiting for a bream of that size it will come along one day. Imagine the age of that fish any guesse's? cheers james

From what i have learnt from several sources, internet, books, tv magazies, dvds etc. Bibbed minnow lures are swimming at the right speed when the tip of the rod is vibrating. Skirted lures can be trolled at most speeds. A good speed for trolling skirts/jet heads etc is when there is a wake just evident behind your boat. On my boat when i troll we sit between 7-9 knots, vary the speeds untill you catch the fish. Don't forget to stagger the spread of lures behind the boat. cheers james

I have a little diawa reel that does that, i have opend it up greased it all cleaned thoroughly, checked for broken parts all seems to be in order, my reel goes funny every 2 winds though, its a bout 17 years old i have learnt to live with it when i use it now. cheers james

It's almost got the figue of a dolphinfish, but the dolphinfish is more yellow/green in colour and much better looking. cheers james

Hi mate You are very likely to find out the info you need, the raiders are a top bunch of people who fish and have wide knowledge on the areas you fish. I my self fish botany quiet often. There are various spots that produce good ammounts of quality fish for example molinoux point holds kingfish, but it can take a while before you find the fish, some days they are there some days they are not. The kings are normally caught around the various markers/ drums where the ships tie up, but have somepeople have experienced they can show up any where any time taking anything. Along brighton le-sands there is some top fishing for flathead, the flattys are there most of the time. The bay also holds schools of tailor at times, not over sized fish but top fun on light gear. The bay is unpredictable and so are the various rivers, creeks and sorounding areas. Some of the offshore fishing is good when you get the tides, water temp, location right, a good spot for reef fishing/ bottom fishing is the merries reef complex just north east off cronulla beach has good fishing for snapper, flathead, kingfish, nanaguai, mowies, other places that are like this is the snapper hole off kurnell. I have fished the cooks river for big flathead, bream once got a snapper that was 38cm from memory. Have fished the georges river a few times chasing jews and member DOMZA who was fishing with me caught a 89cm flathead. The bay is very unpredictable, but i guess fishing is just like that. Good luck with it all. cheers james

I watched it, all im going to say is that it was a good episode , they nailed the cobia on livies on the fraser coast on a boat, they nailed big jews in the hawksbury on squid. cheers james

I'm a read head For surface fishing for pelagics i only ever use metals/chromes such as raiders, spanyids, sluggos from 17-45grams seems to provide results for me. cheers james

OOOK then. Thats the kind of item you want when theres jetskiers around but with no hook just a big snapperlead cheers james

cheers james

Mate top marlin, congrats on the capture, i just can't wait for the day i get my first. I shall also add thats one sexy lookin boat. cheers james

Hi guys I lost what was thought to be a BIG grouper at the snapper hole off botany about 18 months ago, it took a live sweep, i was using a tld20 with 50lb braid and i was getting smashed. I also use sweep fillets off the rocks, have caught bream, tailor a few otehr nice fish and a few ods n ends(ie- crap fish). cheers james

I have 3 shimano beast masters 20/30 and 2 30/50's i use, they needed a good service to get them to run good, the drags used to squeel but now are smooth as, i look after them really well a good wash, dw40 pull them apart and clean the insides every few uses but i guess nothing would bet a tiagra or international cheers james

Mate i got the wife to inspect it before i bought it.......She says the rims must go........but loves the rest of it.....I say the rims must stay....time will tell who gets there way Hi there To me it's the rims that make the car, thats one sexy car. cheers james

Hi Me and domza had a nice big longtom cruising past the back of my boat a few weeks ago in the burly trail, hard fish to catch. cheers james
