They are very nice looking fish!! I can't wait to get to the macquarie to try and catch a couple. You using spinners? you ever use bait? 1975

thanks everybody, i just hope i fluke another one at the flatie social 1975

great fish! can you Youtube the vid? sounds like we would all love to see it 1975

hi didn't think i would ever file a report in this section! any way Quinfish was kind enough to take me out on sunday for a session at berowra and at the start Robert was determined to throw plastics around while i persevered with prawns and squid. Not much happened for a long while so we moved around a bit. Still not much happening so i had a go at using a squigie that i bought during a moment of fantasy, while robert half heartedly baited up. I actually hooked a small flatie that came off before i could get it on the boat Anyway we had been fishing for a few hours with nothing to show for it so we tried one more spot. Robert started again with the sps and quickly landed a small flatie i looked on with envy but i congratulated him anyway. he quick followed it up with another one and i thought i would give my squigie another go. Three or four casts later and BAM something takes my squigie!!!!!, it felt heavy and i couldn't get the grin off my face as i fought to get it to the surface. I was forgeting all the basics but luckily Robert was there giving me helpful instructions- nice and steady - keep the head in the water! Finally the flatie gets on the boat 60cm!! my first fish on sps and pb flatie. I was over the moon and i didn't mind letting everyone know either. after a few photos from Robert and a self pic we released the monster( sorry if thats a brag but i'm still hyped) to hopefully make someone else trip on the river a memorable one. Sorry it was such a long report and thanks again quinfish for the experience. 1975

all of the above

Hi This might be a dumb question but do you berley when lure fishing SPs and HBs? I haven't fished lures yet but its just a matter of time ( bought some grubs and lures - which i think is the most fun part ) Thanks 1975 PS- is there etiquite involved? is it frowned upon?

Hi Ross, Would love to come to the social and maybe have a fish as well( LB) Hope to see everyone there 1975 Billy

does that higher pressure thing also influence other types of freshwater fish eg cod or saltwaterfish. I seem to remember reading about it somewhere but not the details. thanks 1975

I always read about ganged hooks ( 3x4/0) with pillies for the surf for tailor and salmon is this still the case or should you have a jewie rig that you described just in case one comes along? Thanks 1975

Thanks for the report and nice fish. Can i ask what beach you where at and what rig you used? and can i assume you used a different one for the salmon and the bream? Thankyou 1975

Shite! how often does that happen? It must be exciting up until the BANG (if its a fish of course) 1975

I don't normally fish from a boat and have never tried to tackle a kingie but after reading yours and the other king fishers reports over the last few weeks it almost feels like i've been out there, catching the squid ( which i have never done) , driving around finding the kings on the sounder, setting up the downrigger and waiting for the eventual hookup then fighting the fish. after boating it and taking a photo deciding on whether to release or keep it for dinner, man thats the life. thankyou for sharing the experience, hope to read more 1975

Just wondering what SPOOLED means. 'I was spooled'? Thanks 1975

Thanks Mondo have you found that whiting are on the bite at dawn and dusk or have you caught them all day? 1975

I'll have to give SP's a go one of these days. Where abouts in Putney did you go? shore or boat? thanks 1975

nice catch mate, Whiting are one of my favourite eating fish! what type of worms (live?) and rig did you use Thanks 1975

Thats a nice looking hat!!!!
