Scratchie

Never thought of that..... Could you possibly change my tip from last week dogs vs rabbits! I knew the rabbits would win but still picked the dogs! Haha Cheers scratchie!!!

Just a matter of picking through them. I find up here at port stephens, the slimey s seem to sit a little further off the headland than the yakkas. Just my general observation. Hope that helps. Cheers scratchie!!!

Tips are in mrsswordfish!!!! Your not copying me are you??? Cheers scratchie!!!

Out the front of waratah bay. You'll be protect by the wind, nice drop off and a chance of hairtail at night! Good luck!! Cheers scratchie!!!

IMO clean cut shark, mangled cuttlefish! Cheers scratchie!!!

I'm keen to know too and not to hijack but do they venture up port stephens??? If so where?? Cheers scratchie!!!

From the reports I have it depends on the water temp! But about another 2-3 weeks!I'm going out Sunday for another crack at it. Weather looks pretty good at this stage! Cheers scratchie!!

Yeah about time port turned on some good weather! Summer went pretty quick and was very ordinary! Yeah diesel, charm she is! Your odds improve when you had a line in the water!!! Lol Next time Barry, I'll take you out and get you onto them! Damo, thanks for all your posts and info you provide. Being a charter and posting the info you do is unreal. I think all raiders that don't have the mode to get out there and chase the beaks should jump on board reef magic! Cheers scratchie!!! The next one is yours wahoo! Just get ur butt up here before the season ends!

That's a stonker fish there! Congrats Cheers scratchie!!!

Awesome fish there fellas! Where abouts were you fishing? General area.. Cheers scratchie!!!

Thanks champ! Well that's means yesterday I went 1/1/1. Cheers scratchie!!!

Just a question what's 40/30/20 and 3/2/2 mean? Cheers scratchie!!!

Google it!!! I just did and it looks an amazing place to fish. Cheers scratchie!!!

Agree. Congrats Cheers scratchie!!!

Happy Easter to all raiders!!!

Great catch there mate! 7kg..... I bet 5kg is just the head!!! Hope you did get some fillets off it. Cheers scratchie!!!

Went out yesterday with my wife and two eldest boys(12 & 8), along with the other 10 million tourists up here, in search of one thing Marlin!!! We left shoal bay in my Haines 470 and straight out to lighthouse and set the spread. Once we hit the 60m mark there were pilchards everywhere and I mean everywhere. I thought this was a good sign and with the smooth seas, anticipation was high. We headed north from the light and zig zagged the 80-100m mark. After about an hour I noticed a black just cruising the top of the water so I decided to circle him. On the second pass bang and the long corner goes off. The kids are jumping around the boat and my wife decides to get the video going. After what was a relatively short fight on my tyrnos 50, the little black puts on a jumping display which was a great site to see for us all. After taking some photos, we released the little fella and he swam off in great condition. It was a great day on the water and another target ticked off for team scratchie!!! Tight lines, Cheers scratchie!!!

I was looking at buying that same finder, however it was explained to me that the DSI technology is not really good when you are at anchor. The lines up and down are the waves bouncing of its own sonar. To improve this you need a structure scan unit which cost about $900+. Because the technology is relatively new, I think the improvements are a little while away! Cheers scratchie!!!

Congrats on your 2nd jewy. Butterflied Taylor is great bait for Jew!!! Cheers scratchie!!!

That is sooooo funny! It's something I would do if I got a hole in my boat. But I don't think that table would support a 75hp merc! Cheers scratchie!!!

Thanks damo! Heard of a few being caught around the light as well.

May we ask what depth and general area???

The tigers have a new fishraider rating of shark s#+t. Because you can't get lower than shark s#+t. They had their pants pulled down and smacked. Cheers scratchie!!!

Will be out there on Saturday!!! Hope they are still there. All reports I've had there are big numbers of small blacks about. Can't wait! Cheers scratchie!!!

Lol
