We had a tough morning only landing one 35kg fish on the troll. Later in the arvo, we found the school and had them around the boat actively feeding for a few hours. Caught as many as we caught until our arms fell off. Saw one boat catching them on poppers as well. Was about 15 boats around and everyone was getting into them. By the sounds of it, 90% of boats were able to get at least one yesterday. We must have released at least 20 fish and lost a dozen more. Kept 2 for me and the crew. Bad lucky Stewy....

Any reports from today yet?

Defiently a problem with the transducer. Best bet would to take in the transducer and cable into your nearest shop and let them deal with it through the rep. Let us know how it goes.

Too true, There a lots of idiots down at the boat ramp on Sundays and especially public holidays. Better to just ignore them and move one. Roseville ramp is defiently a mess and to be honest, I prefered it the way it was before they did the renovations...

I will be in Middle Harbour having a flick at the high tide tomorrow arvo

Spellbinder and any of those 3000 will do the trick I rekon - the Spellbinder has that good length on it for landbased casting and will also make a good SP snapper rod

Daiwa Freams is one of the best reels on the market for bang for your buck - internally it is one of the best reels around the $200 i have ever seen. Match it up with a nice 5-8kg rod - some nice ones to look at are the Daiwa Spellbinder or the Samaki range Personally, for under $500, I would be going a Freams 3000 on a 5-8kg Spellbinder

Hey Matey, Good buy. However, I wouldnt go by saying that " 3" is certaintly too small". Jewies are oppurtunitistic feeders and IMO will hit any good plastic that is in front of them - as long as they are hungry. I have caught some cracker jewies on 3" Shrimp and 3" Minnows - one of my biggest jewies went 16kg cleaned and was on a 3" minnow up at Roseville. However, in saying this, I have had more success with 5" plastics and BIG shads. I rekon, that its fishing and there are no rules. Whilst some plastics may outfish others for species, there is no rule saying that one species wont eat a different type of plastic. Good luck and look forward to the report of that big jewie!!

Thanks Mate, Will let you know how we go

Hey Fellas, Thinking of heading out to chase some salmon on the surface on Tuesday around Nrth head.. Has anyone heard any reports?

Bantry Bay has them sometimes. If you can get to the Spit or Sailors bay the night before, you will have some fresh baits for then.

Nice Report matey! Any idea on where to try for blackies around MH?

Knock off the fillets. Some as sashimi to start and the rest pan fry. Salt, pepper, lemon juice and Italian herbs is all that is needed. That's my favourite for the kingies!

Hi Guys, I have made the rookie mistake of putting too much oil into my Four Stroke 30hp Yamaha. Is there anyway to drain the oil? What is the easiest way to drain it out...? If I run the engine with too much oil what damage can it do? (just for interests sake). Thanks
