Next month is the best month! Maybe not for numbers but most of my bigger models come in sept/oct!

Nice mixed bag! Isn’t it great to just get out there after a long spell off the water! Good on you Sam for helping out! Cheers scratchie!!!

Good stuff Mr Groper! Nice to see you still getting out and having fun! Cheers scratchie!!’

Always plenty in Port Stephens 👍

Cheers mate!!! 👍

Weather not looking good! All I can say Pete, is yes yes yes, nooooooooooo! 😝 Good luck with that Baz!

Fished with fellow raiders @Woodsy1 and @Peter Nelson

That’s gold Jon! Do you pass on that information? Cheers scratchie!!!

Not sure if it is legal in NSW or Australia but I have watched on TV in New Zealand where they use these boats off the beach and are permitted to run a long line with a maximum of 25 baited hooks. They send the boat out and deploy the hooks at regular intervals. Every 5 hooks they attach a small buoy. Once they have reached their maximum amount of hooks they hold the line and the last buoy detaches from the boat. They leave it out for an hour or two and reel it in! Cant believe they can legally long line from a beach over there! Cheers scratchie!!!

Thanks squidmarks! Heres a thread that might help you with soft plastics.

Haha, thanks billmack! I’ve had snapper 101 different ways!

There’s a little creek that runs through the park in Glen Innes. Spent many a time catching heaps of yabbies there! Some good memories taking the kids there and catching a bucket load. Then release them all before we went home! Good luck at the dam and rug up! Cheers scratchie!!!

Looks like you nailed it. thanks heaps

And that’s what it’s all about!!! Nice work on the fish, would have pushed the shopping back another hour! Lol cheers scratchie!!!

Awesome report Dave! Sounds like a great trip for you and Amy and some decent fish landed. Always nice to tick one off the list! Cheers scratchie!!!

Always good to get a bend in the rod when it’s been a while! Salmon are great to target of the beach! Well done 👍 cheers scratchie!!!

Another good day out with your dad and a mate! Bought home a feed. Doesn’t get much better! Cheers scratchie!!!

This was found in the stomach of a large snapper. About the size of a cigarette packet. Any ideas???

Good to see you got something for the table! Its hard to get a touch on a livie when you have boats zooming around! That’s why we try to fish during the week! Dinners looking good! They say eat fish twice a week, tonight is my fourth! Lol Gotta love Port Stephens Cheers scratchie!!!

Cheers Jeremy! Definitely catch ya soon! Thanks Craig! They are chewing their heads off atm! Loving it 👍

About 80km off Port Stephens yesterday. They were going off! Quite a few boats were into them! Cheers scratchie!!!

Good luck out there Sam! Should be a good day for it! Give those plastics a go! 👍
