Always nice to read your reports, freshwater fishing seems so relaxing And some great photos as well

Is it meant to imitate blood ?

Cracker report , Some solid kings there

Great first report and welcome to fishraider.

Nice work again scratchie You seem to have snapper fishing figured out

I've seen alot of people use the red tubing but what does it actually do? Is it used to attract the whiting or to hold the rig in place?

I would suggest m5 would be the quickest route, You are pretty much going against traffic at those times so there wouldn't be too much traffic Waze and google maps are both pretty good, they take into consideration the traffic and find the quickest route

That is some quality eating fish Well done

Good result, If you want to upload a photo from your phone, take a screenshot of the photo and then upload the screenshot. Usually that works

Nice work Baz You couldn't have said it better. Even if the fishing is slow, just being out on the water is enjoyable

Sounds like a nice day out And some keepers to top it off Well done mate

exact same thing happened to me, plenty of action on sounder but no hairtail

Great photos

Nice work There's plenty of salmon along the beaches at the moment I don't know if the kiwi name is going to stick, its too hard to pronounce

Great report I'm so jealous seeing all these reports of bluefin. Only thing left to do is upgrade to a bigger boat

Welcome to fishraider Nice report, thanks for sharing

Sounds like an awesome trip I would love to go there one day

Thats unfortunate, I had my first every doughnut fishing for hairtail last week. Don't know what is happening. Hopefully it improves soon.

Great work mate

Thats unfortunate Hopefully conditions improve

Great report and I really like that recipe Will be sure to give it a go next time

It was very beautiful, the sunrise is one of the best parts of hairtail fishing. Hopefully the hairtail come on the bite next week.

Hopefully it gets better next time. It was very relaxing day and a good way to get rid of the stress

Just a quick report Did an overnight trip on Wednesday night targeting hairtail. Launches at apple tree bay, plan was to head to Jerusalem bay. But there was very thick fog and visibility was barely 10m. GPS helped with navigating the water way, but it was very difficult to see if there was any other boats. Decided to be safe and stay at waratah bay. I started Berleyed hard and eventually some life started to show on the sounder. But unfortunately, could not get a single hit. I was using pilchards and squid for bait. The next morning, the fog was still really bad and didnt clear until 9am. Headed into the hawkesbury to target some flathead on plastics. Moved around to a couple of my trusty spots and tried a few new areas. But still could not manage a bite. Went to Juno point at the tide change with some bigger fresh baits for a jew. But also didnt get a hit Overall the fishing was very quite, only managed a few undersized fish. But I still thoroughly enjoyed the day. Just being out on the water again was amazing. It was the first fishing trip in about 2 months, because I had uni exams. So hopefully now that exams are over, I will have more time to go fishing

What size jig heads do you use?
