Hi Raiders I have just purchased a boat it is a 4.12m Seajay with a 30hp yamaha. I am looking to meet some new people that are interested in fishing and are willing to share the costs of regular fish trips. A bit about myself first. My name is Mathew i am 34 years old and live in the Hawkesbury. As i run 2 businesses most of my off time is during the week. Mainly Mondays, Tuesdays and some weeks, all week. i have been fishing sense i can remember and love to get out on the water when ever i can day or night. I enjoy chasing jewfish, squidding, fishing soft plastic and regularly frequent Sydney harbour and the Hawkesbury. Due to most of my mates being unemployed bums and expecting me to pay for fuel, bait etc, etc i have decided maybe it is about time to meet some new people with the same interests as myself. For you to make it aboard you must be willing to contribute to fuel, bait, food and hold an intellectual conversation. If you live in the west it is an added bonus!!! I am super keen about entering into some fishing comps over the summer such as the Hawkesbury River Classic. I would love to hit Jarvis Bay this summer during my down time which is between Christmas and the end of January to chase some kings and maybe even a Marlin but need someone to come with me to share the costs and for safety reasons. So If your Male or Female, Black Or White, young or old and love fishing please drop me a line!!!

Hi Raiders, This is my first report on this awesome website so bare with me. Me and a mate decided to head down south and wet a line around the Jarvis Bay area on Sunday Night. We were targeting Jewfish as we have been unsuccessful this year in the Harbour. We arrived at around 7pm on the run in tide got rigged up and threw out an assortments of baits, Butterflied yakka, fillet yakka, and fresh squid pieces. While they were soaking we went to work catching some live yakkas. All we got for the first 3 hours were eels..... After about 4 hours the eels stopped biting and we started catching shovel nose sharks (6 in total all released biggest 93cm) ..... slight improvement but still no jewfish! By now we had some livies and baited up our 2 biggest rods and put them to work. Around 1 hour before high tide one of the big rod screams off. My mate was on!!! he was fishing with a Shimano 12000 bait-runner with 30lb braid, 30lb leader 12' rod. So he starts getting stuck into this fish and soon realises that it is alot bigger than first thought, as he had his 12000 reel with as much drag as he could have and its still stripping line off it like the bail arm was open. So it looked like he was in for a long fight......After about 1 hour of getting some line back only to loose twice as much snap!!! my mate falls flat on his arse. With swear words flying the action is all over. So he baits up another livie and back to square one. About 1 hour after the change his rod screams off again but no hook up :-( as the tide really started to run out it all went very quiet and as the sun rose we decided to call it a night. Really would have liked to see what he had on first because what ever it was, was pulling my mate in before he was getting it anywhere near the shore. Think the reason he lost it was because he was running out of line and tightened the drag just a touch to much. Time: Night Session Where: Crook Haven Heads Tide: Run It Weather: Overcast Windy Bait: Live yakka
