That's an awesome black damo! I bet your looking forward to travelling up to the beautiful port stephens! Cheers scratchie!!!

Great stuff saltrix! The girls look like they had a great time with their grandad and you've got a few lovely pics for your efforts too! Well done Cheers scratchie!!!

Well done butch! Your always seem to land some solid fish. You must have some really good marks out there and know your area well. Great stuff! Cheers scratchie!!!

How did you go gatts? Did you decide on beach or estuary? Cheers scratchie!!!

Great stuff Brian! Good to see the boys at it again! Went out Tuesday searching for beaks, water cold and green. Wind forecast to blow all week but you maybe a chance on Sunday! Good luck and well done on the fish boys! Cheers scratchie!!!

You still picked up a feed yowie, well done! Do you ever throw poppers or SP's around there? Had some success of late popping sand flats for whiting, great fun! Cheers scratchie!!!

Absolutely you can catch jewy with them! They are great bait all round. I would wait for the tide! Cheers scratchie!!!

They are perfect size for targeting flatty with. Did that in the bermi river which good success! Good luck tonight, think the wind may play havoc though! Cheers scratchie!!!

Unfortunately, there are many that don't stick to the rules, sizes, limits and etiquette that most fishos do. All we can do is report it to the authorities and leave it to them to police the law. Once again, this is an exercise where we can lead by example. Let's try and stick to the report of pengos first legal trevally. Well done! Cheers scratchie!!!

This is the perfect rod for you at your entry level. Match it with the 2500 sienna and spool it with 8lb sea line mono. At this stage I'm not suggesting braid as that will open a whole new can of worms. This outfit will be good enough to target most of the bread and butter species and is within your price range! Cheers scratchie!!!

Dave, thanks for your response in your pm. You are a wealth of knowledge. Have returned pm! Cheers scratchie!!!

Cheers mate, after getting a coupe last year I'm keen as!

Great work! Isn't it amazing the different colors of the fish based on their habitat! Well done! Cheers scratchie!!!

Thank you guys for your kind words! I will do my best. The mod team and admin already do a magnificent job. I hope I can keep pace with this great team! Cheers scratchie!!!

Well, I went Tuesday water was glass out but green and cold. I have fished up here for over 15 years and normally this time of year the water is at a minimum of 22.5 unless we have rain! Just scratching my head, that's all. My boat doesn't have a massive range, so I wait for the warm water to push in and I'm still waiting!

Great effort there Dave on the carp and the bass! I've sent you a pm if you could reply. Cheers scratchie!!!

Welcome to the site fishing steez! Sounds like a fun night and constant action. Well done on the fish and your first post! Cheers scratchie!!!

Cheers mate, just haven't had many reports. Any reason why the closer water so cold!

Welcome to the forum Andrew and great first report! Was out chasing them myself today but no luck. Didn't have the water temps you did. Well done on the fish mate and look forward to many more reports! Cheers scratchie!!!

That's some great advise there tef1on and very kind of you to offer some mentoring. Cheers scratchie!!!

G'day raiders, With the weather looking like glass conditions this morning, I thought it was time to go searching for a few beaks. Left shoal bay at 5am and set the spread from the lighthouse and zig zagged the 80-150 mark all the way up past Broughton! Plenty of bait fish about but did mark or see anything or turn a reel for that matter. The water temp was only between 21.5-22.1 and very green. Why is there plenty of action north and south, and none in my backyard??? Anyway had two young fellas with me, so we stopped at Broughton for a bottom bash. Managed a few pan sized snappers, plenty of reef fish, a huge baker and the boys were happy! Trolled the islands with some small bibs and skirts for 2 very small bonito. Normally getting huge ones this time of year?? What's going on?? Anyone been up here chasing beaks yet?? Cheers scratchie!!!

Picked this up today! Just got me I think!

A yakking buddy has just landed his first yak from Marlin off Coffs Harbour & has a terrific video showing the fight! Lol!!!! Great video Roberta, that is insane! Cheers scratchie!!!

This is not a fishing report. Post has been moved.

Great work mate! Yes you are a typical fisho, one more cast. Lol. At least you brought home a feed! Well done. Cheers scratchie!!!
