Decided to change it up this morning by chasing some kings. Got my boy up at 4.00 and headed to drummoyne to launch the boat. We headed to Clifton gardens to stock up on some livies. We burlied up and got a few unfortunately that were all super large. Whilst I was stocking up on livies my son was catching bream, whiting and trevally. We ended up with a feed in the hour.
Motored over to the wedding cakes on first light and got some burley going. We got a few rods out and it only took 10 minutes for the first one to buckle over. I got my boy to bring in other rods as it had some weight in it and was running like a train. After a short fight I asked for a gaff but it wasn't in the boat! We netted in an average net after a few attempts.
The fish measured 89cm. Things went quite after that so we called it a day.

Couls i ask if Mangrove creek is a likely area to catch Mud crabs or is it more likely in the normal river around spencer?
-
Thanks for the advice.
-
Awesome catch well done.
Could I ask does the depth matter or anywhere near mangroves etc will do? Is bought mullet from the fish markets ok or does it need to be freshly caught? Do you use it whole or only the frames?
Thanks

Guys I was on the water fishing with my young bloke and watched these guys catch this. They target them and it was caught on a banjo shark as bait. I followed them back to Roseville ramp as they slowly dragged it back so my son could see it. They claimed they would get it stuffed by a taxidermist.

Hi,
I have been advised of the below tomorrow. I have no view on this as I have not read the proposed reforms. George
This Thursday 20th nov 1pm until 3 pm at Parliament House Macquarie street Sydney the commercial and recreation sector will join forces in protest against the amendment bill, commercial fishing reforms and the proposed marine park from Pittwater to port Jackson.

Top spot for bream, whiting, flounder and flathead. I fished it Wednesday and caught a few. i also hooked and saw and hooked another hammerhead shark so maybe stick to the shore

Would they inclined to have a nibble at a human at that size/age,

Had a day off today so decided to target some bream on the flats of palm beach. Launched at 4.00 am and fishing soon after. Got a good feed of bream, whiting and a couple flounder by roughly 7.00am
I threw some bait scraps of the edge and noticed some yakkas and pike feeding then suddenly a hammerhead shark cruised up and had a feed! It was only 2.5 meters of water.
I decided to do a few drifts for some flathead. I got a couple and then I was on to something big. It was going to be a challenge on 6lb line. It surface roughly 20 meters from my boat and I noticed it was a hammerhead shark!! I fought it for roughly 10 minutes and then it cut my leader. It would of been between 125-150cm big so only a baby really.
Are these common in the pittwater shallows?

The new easiest way to capture people's personal details for scams and identity fraud would be to drive around and get details from trap floats

I don't get any pickers. The pickers start picking after sunrise which I am done by then
Awesome catch mate, well done!
Can i ask do you go through alot of squid per trip due to pickers?
Everytime ive tryed to fish for the jewies i end up losing all my bait too fast so usually bring it up to midwater and chase the kings instead.
Do you fish right on the bottom or a bit up in the water column?
Cracking pic too!

Yes and east of Gladesville bridge. Haha. I was in 23meters if water directly off ball head reserve. Probably 100 meters east of the navigation marker on the point.
ahhhh....west of the bridge ?

Ha ha I don't mind sharing my spots. Plenty for everyone.
Well done, a fish of a life time for many. Pretty hard to hide your location with a back drop like that. It looks familiar for some reason.

Thanks john,
That took a very large strip of squid. Normally the whole squid does it for me.

Hit the water nice and early targeting jewfish around the 5.16am change of tide. Started a little slow with a 50cm and a 72cm Jew and a nice 65cm flathead. Shifted spots on sunrise to some deaper water and came accross a nice fish that went over 100cm. Back home by 9am. Pretty happy.

In the hunters hill area

Yum you have made me hungry David! It was caught in 23meters of water.
Scratchie I eat my wife's cooking most days and somehow I am still alive as well.

Scratchie,
After taking a while to unhook it as they go wild and clamp to you while trying to handle them with all the sharp pieces. I considered keeping it as i was craving lobster mornay but being that it was sydney harbour i let it free. I will now need to pay $200 for a 2kg live lobster to forfill my craving.
Could anyone confirm is it would of been safe to eat?

Hi,
With the weather warming up and no more friday night footy to watch i grabbed my son and the boat after work on Friday and went for a local Sydney Harbour fish.
In aim of fishing the low tide change we searched around for livies but couldnt find any! We had plenty of time to kill so we scanned around looking for a new spot to try. We found a new deep hole so we anchored up baited up and waited. Not long after we got our 1st little jew (59cm). Everything was quite for a while until we got another at 65cm. Once again it went quite so we started checking our baits. So son said he must have catfish on as he had a dead weight on his rod. As it surfaced in the dark it started kicking a splashing so i grabbed the torch to see what it was and what a supprise - a crayfish! 2kg of cray!! The hook had hooked it from one of its legs.
Anyway we baited and waited again, it was until roughly 10.30pm that we got some better size fish one at 73cm and one at 78cm.
All in all was a nice peacefull and semi productive evening.

Hi,
The fishing plan to fish open waters look somewhat shot due to the forecasted weather for the weekend and was wondering if there are any Hairtail being caught at the moment?
Secondly which of the bays would be sheltered enough to fish comfortably and produce fish?
George

Good to know. Would explain why it was hooked on top hook that was through the yakkas nose.
