    Middle Harbour

    Posted · Edited by user1829

    I heard from a friend that the mangroves on the roseville side upstream of the bridge are one of the best big bream spots in the harbour at the top of the tide! He pulled 3 45cm fish from there last summer..

    land based? or waterside? i could only cast 50% of the way to the mangroves with my biggest casts from the north side...

    i was chatting to a local who was blackfishing near the pontoon who said a similar thing ;)

    you 'yak-based yet?

    opens up the whole of MH for ya :D

    Bad luck buddy..

    Tom

    no worries mate, we've been going to Garigal since high school, the boys an I know it fires in spring...

    was just looking for a place for a easy quiet flick :)

    I moved around a fair bit, started up under road bridge (vibe eater!), then went up stream, then down to water pipe, then down to pontoon, then to the creek side...

    water is so clear, probably would have been more success with bait ;)

    I find it more effective getting other raider's opinion and starting my own topics rather than using the "search function"

    so knots are a seasonal thing?

    now i have heard everything!

    PS i have learned WAY more from the search function than from starting new topics...

    PPS - you havent even told us what line weight you are asking about!??!? good luck tying an albright in 40lb line!

    The search function on the forum would've given you so many posts on this question as it's been asked so so many times on beer.

    yet people keep replying?

    but on most car forums I am on, it would be met with "use the search function, this thread is now locked"

    or would you prefer we used the report.png more often?

    Has anyone else had this issue and what can you do about it?

    .

    NSW Fair Trading has this to say:

    Obligations of repairer

    A motor vehicle repairer has a responsibility, as with any other trade to ensure that the work carried out is done in a ‘workmanship like manner’. This is a responsibility brought under the Fair Trading legislation, other similar legislation, and common law.

    If a part fitted by a workshop is defective, substandard or unfit for its intended purpose, and if it is the ‘cause’ of an accident, a customer (but not another person such as a passenger, pedestrian or subsequent owner of a vehicle) can bring a contractual claim against the workshop under section 74 of the Trade Practices Act 1974.

    A claim could also be brought under section 74 if the workshop did not exercise due care and skill in carrying out repairs or testing.

    Section 74 implies a non-excludable warranty into contracts for the supply of services by workshops to customers:

    •that services will be carried out with due care and skill and

    •that any components supplied in connection with those services will be reasonably fit for the purpose for which they are supplied.

    Similar warranties are implied by common law into contracts for the supply of services by workshops.

    For example, if a customer could establish that a workshop did not exercise due care and skill in fitting a disc brake calliper, or if the customer could establish that a disc brake rotor fitted by the workshop was below recommended minimum operating thickness, the workshop could be held liable to the customer under section 74 or under common law.

    here are the details regarding warranty:

    and what to do if they dont make good the problem:

    good luck, i hope it all goes well...

    knots, line type and eyesight

    I'm looking for some feedback from the more Mature Raiders; you know who you are, the ones who now suffer sunburn on the dome, know what a zac is, etc. Yes, those with a bit of mileage on the clock.

    What I want to discuss is tying knots in this new fangled soft, thin, plyable line called braid. When I stared fishing a half century ago, knot tying was relatively easy, day or night. Mono was the only choice of line, it is nice and stiff, and with a little practice, knot tying was done more by feel than sight. Could tie a blood knot in my sleep!

    Now we have this wonderful new stuff; BRAID. Yes, I like it to fish with, great feel, low diameter, good casting, supple, etc.; but blimey, trying to tie knots in it is like trying to tie a single strand of hair. In good daylight with the reading specs on, OK; but anyother time, no chance.

    What I would like to know is any of your secrets to working with this stuff. Seriously, I find it a huge problem for me. Am I alone??

    Cheers,

    Kymbo,

    Keep on fishin!

    i tie my best knots under a 150W halogen in the workshop...

    i was trying to show my mate how to do an albright in his living room and couldnt see a bloody thing under his fluoro lights...

    a solid back ground helps loads too...

    at night - LED head lamp is the go for getting these knots tied...

    Any reports for Pittwater?

    Thanks Roberta and Tom !

    Looks like theres fair bit of westerly tomorrow and my main purpose is to get out there with an old mate to have a few relaxing beers so will try few old mooring inside Pitty and see if I could trick couple of breams. Still new to the world of SPs but our aim is not to take any bait with us and go hard on SPs on a light gear so will see how I go. Thank you all for the info! much appreciated! Beats going out shopping with nagging missus anyday hehe :thumbup:

    we got out sunday morning, and it was 'glassed out' for our run from Appletree Bay, very cold at 100km/h, but we were out at F&S in 10mins...

    there were a few other boats parked, so we dropped a Laser Pro and Max out and did a few passes, hooked into some legal tailor which were fun, and confirmed our trolling from jet-ski ideas...

    then trolled out to West Head and back with no action, then pulled up and scooted accross to Walker Point to troll over to Juno to drop some SP's - was hard finding the bottom there, even on 3/4oz jig heads, so we canned it and headed back in...

    the trip yielded many more questions to resolve, but really gave us inspiration for when the Kings start to warm up...

    Hi. Just wanna which half of the pilchard is better? The head part or the tail part? thanks

    ha ha ha - was reading this and thiking, i have a comment!

    my mates love to use only the tail half, as it is a bit easier to attach using the old half-hitch on the tail trick, but i use the off cut heads, and thread hook out through the eye and then through the blood & guts tummy section,

    point is that I catch just as many as they do (bream in estuarys mostly...)

    Kingfish setup....again

    As far as using the left over mono as trace it will get you out of trouble if you have nothing else but I would get your self some quality trace moimoi or jinki are good but if ur willing to spend the money fluro carbon is worth it stick with good brands like sunline.

    vote +1 on using flourocarbon as leader - do a google on FC vs nylon = many reasons why it is more desirable...

    btw - great set up, should be pretty tough :)

    ReeL advice

    The Sienna 4000 sounds like a good reel at the price ($59).

    "buy cheap, buy twice" especially fora surf reel...

    Sean - maybe look at Penn 460 reel?

    get em for around $90 online at the moment.

    solid metal body & gearing, good drag, and easily rebuildable by a novice...

    Any reports for Pittwater?

    If thats the aim of the game then certainly try West Head. Its as simple as sticking a prawn on and dropping it down. Most of the time it gets hit straight away! Mainly Bream, Small snapper, flathead and trevally. Last time i was out we picked up 6 legal tailor on unweighted pillies cast out into open water. Always worth putting a yakka out in this area. Either on the bottom or under a float. Should be a few sambo's lining up to take it!

    cheerrs mate, but since we'll be on a jet-ski, it's lures only...

    but got a few fresh packs of squidgies in 65 - 100mm (and a range of 1/8 to 3/4 oz heads) and some Lunker paddle tails, plus a few 55mm vibes, a few largish diving HB's, a few bream HB's and a few sizes of metals.

    aim is to make out way across from Parsley bay to Barrenjoey looking for fish (no sounder), then maybe skim past Lion Island and head back to Brooklyn...

    total newbies at it, so just trying to get a feel for it... (and feel for the space on the 'ski)

    plus being a LB fisho, i normally fish high tides, but it will be low in the arvo, not sure how much this will affect things?

    Any reports for Pittwater?

    There are a "few" kingies around but not very many. Best shot is right on dawn around West Head or Clareville Moorings. Snapper of any size aren't often caught in pittwater but after rain they DO come in. My best in Pittwater 48cm taken from West Head on 5" Jerk Shad. Moral of the story, focus on the heads if you wan't snapper and kings (for winter at least). Its also worth a look on the outer side of Barrenjoey. Probably your best shot at a king or snapper at the moment!

    thanks again Tom :)

    was just wondering if there was a chance of finding any (doubt our gear could handle them!)

    just learning what its like fishing on a watercraft will be the aim of the afternoon... we'll be happy to get a catch of salmon and flatty!
