Hi guys, I'm heading up to the warmer climate, from canberra, and really want a good days fishing. I'm still learning how to snag the local species. Any tips, locations or company would be very, very welcome. Have fun, and thanks.

Hi guys. I am in desperate need of some one to take me out and show me how the locals do it. I've been fishing for years in the UK and have mastered the art of catching things under the leagal sizes over here. but I dont seem to have much luck when it comes to feeding the family. I Live in canberra but can get up to Sydney or down to the South Coast pretty easily. I think the expression 'all the gear and no idea,' fits pretty well, as I have rods, reels and tackle for most situations. If anyone is heading out and has a free spot please let me know. All the best.

that sounds like a good shout. I'm keen to get up there again some time. Just need to talk the mrs into it.

Hi Guys, This is my first report in Australia...... Here goes. We took the faily up to bendalong for the long weekend and we were totaly blown away by the place. My casting arm was tinggling when I woke up so I went and tossed a slud through the beach when we went for a walk, not really expecting anything but enjoying the view none the less. That evening we clambered onto the rocks with the rising tide and made it round to Red Head. I went bare foot (school boy error) and would strongly recomend shoes! We found a lovely spot, out of the wind, that looks belting for drummer. The mrs dropped in a float with a size 1 hook and some mackeral to no avail. I then went and cast out a 15g, blue, spinner and hooked into an unknown fish (i'll get a pic up soon). Same on the 2nd cast. It then whent really quiet for about 10 mins. Still no luck on the float. Finnal cast before we had to head back before the tide cut us off and there was a tremendous splash and thump on my lure as a powerful, square shaped, tail came over the top but didnt hook. Gutted! The next morning I was up at first light and went down to Washerwomans beach with my beach caster and a bag of mackeral and pillchards. All I got was weed. (looks like a another good drummer spot by the boat ramp). Gave up about 6am and headed over the other side of the camp site and found a brak in the surf. First cast I hooked into a Good salmon on a slab of Mackeral on a 5/0 hook at the top of my 2 hook rig. It was in very Shallow as the surf had moved my lead in pretty close. It coughed up about 5 small bait fish while I un-Hooked it so they must have been feeding pretty hard around sun up. Not even a nibble after that, but he went in the bucket and was very good on the BBQ with some lemon and salt that evening. All in all, now I know what it there and what to look for I will be heading back with the right gear and not just winging it. There is a HUUUUUGE amount of bait close in and tones of weed patches. I reckon there would be a good load of Drummer, whiting and squid in the area. And in the Surf there must be plenty of bigger preadetors. Good luck to any one who heads out that way an I hope this is some help.
