A really good Etec Mechanic works in Botany Bay. No one could work out the issue I had with my Etec including the ones mentioned here. If you need the details, let me know.

Nice one mate! Maybe we can arrange a session one day, starting to get back into fishing!

Who does the youtube videos? Seen that concreting shirt on the videos I have been watching recently! Glad to know it's a fellow raider!

I have caught the red cods there, nothing special. Beautiful spot though.

There is a video on the new Seafarer Victory Hardtop and uses suspension seats. Guy on it seems to like it.

Hey guys - not sure why but the bar crossing this morning was crazy! Well for me. Anyone know why I felt I had to cross 3M+ waves? - felt like it! Willy weather claime to be a 1.2M swell.

Hi All,
I am escaping for the long weekend to lake Mac with the boat. Just looking for a few pointers.
Where can I catch some squid?
Are there Kings around the Moon island just outside the heads?
Yakkas about?
Thanks for any help
-
Yes thanks for that. Besides Spit Bridge, anything else?
What about Yakkas?

When squidding or drifting for flatties I often leave rod in holder with 2 squid jigs off a posternoster rig. Size of sinker on bottom varies with depth of water and speed of drift. This works in 4 to 15 metres or more. Ron
So no swivel?
-
Well the squid grounds that I was at - near Balmoral were over 6-8m deep. So I tried with and without sinker.
Got hits with the running sinker but then again I didn't try weightless for too long!

Awesome, thanks guys! Was thinking maybe needed to upgrade to twin bait tanks
- any excuse!

Hi!
Been trying squidding in Sydney Harbour and doing ok. Just wondering about the rig. I ran a ball sinker to the swivel and then a 50cm fluro carbon leader.
Just wondering if it's best for the lure to work on it's own with it's given weight? I just feel it takes forever to reach the bottom.
Thanks

Hi All,
Where can I find the squid grounds and the yakka grounds in Sydney Harbour?
-
Hi All,
Can you keep yakkas and squid in the same bait tank?
-
Mate if you want to go outside I would look at the 510 Sea Spirit. Has a cabin, will take a wave better, offers protection from elements, grand kids will love it, you can go outside etc. The list gets better!
-
Yea I know the pages that have the co ordinates, its just that without punching the co ordinates you don't have an idea how far it is. I was hoping to find a map with just some pins.

Hi All,
What are some good reefs out of Syd Heads?
I have heard of Colors and Browns, but are there other good spots?
Looking at at spots to fish throughout the year. What species can be found there etc. I have a 6m boat and looking at doing more offshore trips now!
Thank you!

Hi Raiders,
Im still chasing Kings - Went out with fellow raider Evan and Duncan over the past few weeks and had a great time. The forum has been a great place to “hookup” with fellow fisho’s.
Last week we tried a few spots and over a few days with 12 one day and 84 another - Yep 84. They were all rats, but still good fun. Last week I got busted up a few times fishing with 80lb braid and 130lb fluro’ - Evan boated a nice 70+
God was indeed good - still coming to grips with 84 in one session (best hook up was 4 at the same time - all boated - and released.

Awesome catch mate! Are you from Richmond ?
-
Looks nice and flat out there!
-
I always bought the one from a shop - when they are on sale. Never had any problems.
Valvoline.

Would you travel interstate for the right job?

Hey Pete,
Unfortunately I work Mon-Fri. If you give me a weekend with notice, I will be there.
I have sent you a PM (private message). Check your email.
Thanks,
David

I am new on Fishraider, and an owner of the subject boat.
I am interested to meet other owners of the same or similar boat (575F, 575RF, 550F) built since 2013.
There's 1000 positive things I could say, about this excellent boat.
But there's also several big issues, I would like to discuss with other owners.
Please do post here, if that is you.
Or let me know if there is a better forum, for this subject.
Many thanks,
Pete
Hey Pete,
I was a the boat show when that model was released in Sydney and had a deposit on it. I changed my find after a few issues I had. Happy to talk to you about your boat, would love to go in a ride in it too! Send me a PM, curious to see what your issues are and I am happy to help!

How is the hawkesbury fishing these days
in Fishing Chat

Thinking of fishing the Hawkesbury after a year or so being away. Is it too cold to head up around Bar Point and Spencer to find flatties? Or what is biting this time of the year and where about? I won't be doing nights, so Hairtail is off my list. Just a casual fish during the day to start again. Thanks all.
