Hey Guys, I normally go to lion island everytime I fish. Get some decent fish around there. I was just wondering if there are any other good spots around there? Where abouts is west reef? Is it nearby? DOes it produce good fish? Wouldn't mind getting some salmon or Kingfish.

For New Years Eve, can anyone be in the harbour for it?

Does this mean anyone can go?

Wouldn't mind having a sub, but anyways not really needed Supercheap sell marine audio? I've never seen their stuff there. I always go there, I'll ask them instead.

Where could I buy some good marine speakers from? Like JBL? Headunits, speakers, subs etc?

I'll try a bit further up around box head then, thansk guys

So under these FADS, the fish hang around?

Same as me!!! Most people don't understand why I do it!

Birds must hate me, I've never seen the birds work the surface yet Hopefully soon!

I've been to Lion Island so many times yet never see a school of Salmon! Are thy normally around the island or more towards the heads there? What times are you likely to catch them?

Yea you should, especially when it so cheap compared to a car!

Thanks! Is there a legal size limit? Limit number to keep? You don't eat fish? So you just go fishing for fun?

Are they good eating? They any good for bait?

THanks for the advice guys, appreciate it

I read the reports before i headed out. I knew there was going to be a strong change but it stated late afternoon. I was fishing at lion island, and I don't have much experience at all with my 4.5 metre boat, I only purchased it recently. Anyway it's around 12.30pm, and i hear this gust of wind come through, the water begins to ripple instantly and i look around, there are no boats around (now i know why) and there are mini hurricanes on the water. I reeled everything in immediately, started to head out and soon as i got around the island, it was just scary! Huge waves, waves crashing as if they were on the beach, I must admit i was pretty scared thinking the boat might tip over because the waves where by far the biggest I've ever seen around. Was so glad to make it back to shore!! We did catch a lot of fish though, but not worth your life! When big changes come through, they pass this over the radio don't they?

I don't see why fishing is such a big secret, it should be shared for everyone to go out there and have fun!!

Love to catch that, congrats!! Just a few questions, Noob questions! What do you mean by the following? Luckily we saw the odd Tern ... And when you talk about live bait used for the jewie, is that Mullet you are using?

Yes I'm a newbie! What is a 'weir' ?

Are you better off land based fishing in that area of the ferry or on a boat? What are the best times to go down to catch a Jew?

Thanks for the tip, I'll probably stay away for a while then since I am new to boating! Know any spots where its safe and possibly catch some decent fish?

Hey, I'm totally new to the fishing scene, just bought a boat so I could fish! Was wondering where abouts did you catch all those fish? South of South Head? And how far in are you into the ocean?
