I have to agree with tony! Great job stormy! So many memories for me fishing was sharing that day with my mates! I've given away quite a few fish at the cleaning tables to young kids or people who have struggled catching a feed. Makes you and them feel good! Good on ya, your a legend. Cheers scratchie!!!

It's certainly Jew time ATM. Most night sessions are producing bream and jew. Great to see you get amongst it. Cheers scratchie!!!

Great effort kizza! Taking the mrs fishing can be a great experience in itself. Glad to see she was a real trouper and hung in there! My mrs is similar to Jew stalkers, she loves catching them but hates the sound of me dispatching them quickly. She's getting better but still can't get her to gut a fish, lol. But she is now putting her own bait on! Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice work fellas, experience is everything in fishing. You certainly know your area well. Cheers scratchie!!!

This fish would be called a "plop". Because I'm sure I didn't swim away when you released it! Cheers scratchie!!!

Probably caught by a 9yo on 8lb line for their local tavern fishing tournament!!! Lol At least it was facing the right way and everyone was up the front! Cheers scratchie!!!

+1. Policing of the existing rules first! Cheers scratchie!!!

Jenno64. Your user name needs to be changed to the squid master! Some nice calamari there! Making me very hungry. Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice catch there. The little fella looks excited about your feed! Hope they ate all their dinner! Cheers scratchie!!!

Yeah, the little fella either says snapper or marlin! I happy with either. Haha Cheers scratchie!!!

Oh hhh the pleasure you get from targeting a fish and it pays off. Well done one fishes, that's a cracker Jew. Cheers scratchie!!!

Thank you to all that replied and your kind words! I love taking the kids fishing and the memories for them will sure last a lifetime! It's a great way to bond with your kids and get outdoors! With our everyday busy schedules we sometimes forget to take the time we need for ourselves and our families! So get out there and enjoy! Cheers scratchie!!!

That is truly an astonishing day! Cheers scratchie!!!

Trevor, looks like the trek was worth it!!! That's a great session of blackies! Cheers scratchie!!!

Yes they can. As far as I'm aware, they haven't bought out the licenses in the hawkesbury yet! Cheers scratchie!!!

And that's just in the first half...... The tigers are gooooooone! Cheers scratchie!!!

Mr. Groper, love your reports. You are always on the fish or squid! Your mrs has certainly got a lot of cooking to do! Enjoy and as for quoters, no problem here! Cracking sesh! Cheers scratchie!!!

Hi all, I thought I would share a couple of pics from a few sessions I've have had with my little mates. I just love taking the kids fishing and I try to dedicate time at least once a week to do it. I'm very blessed to live so close to the water which makes it easier. But they love it, so it's worth every minute. "he called this a snapper" close mate! "a fat head" "beach fishing" no good dad no fish! "off the rocks" Then last night, it was beautiful weather so I just had to hit my jewy spot! time for a quiet ale and soak some bait while waiting for the tide. The tide changed and I had 3 lines soaking. One with a live squid, one strip of fresh mullet and one with a live tailor. Right on the change zzzzzzzz off goes the livey! It takes a run of about 50m and I pick up the rod and start to put on some pressure! Pop.... And I've dropped it, my fault. Should have let it run more and swallow the livey. So up comes my crushed tailor and with it my chance of my next big Jew! Although 5 mins later my little mate shows me how it done! Hope you enjoyed the read and you have to admit, there's no place like Port Stephens! The eldest.......he read the post and said where am I? How could I forget him!!! And my beautiful girl.... She a good a fisho as her mum! Don't really like taking them. Lol Cheers scratchie!!!

Your not wrong about a good little sesh! Well done. Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice job mate! Never get sick of looking at jewies! Cheers scratchie!!!

I agree with sargerx8. The rules are fine the way they are. They have already increased sanctuary areas and the size and bag limits are fine! How about they enforce the rules they have first, then look at changing them if they're not working. Like most people on this site, I release way more fish than i keep but I always love bringing home a feed that comply with the rules. But no one knows I'm doing the right thing because I've never been checked. No once stopped in the time I've been fishing and I go out more than most. I put 780 engine hours in last year and was never checked?? So why bother looking at size and limits. They need to get out there and police the rules they already have! Cheers scratchie!!!

I would just get her a handline. Taking the wife fishing is always embarrassing as they out fish you everytime! Well mine does anyway! Good luck! Cheers scratchie!!!

You are da man Ray! Love reading your posts! Cheers scratchie!!!

Awesome video! Where were you fishing? Those salmon are some real beauties! Cheers scratchie!!!
