Well it looks pretty real to me, what an amazing creature
It guts me to see such massive and breeding species of the ocean get killed though.

This website seems to think Manta Rays get bigger than the one above

What a FLATTIE
Keep the good reports coming

Sounds like you need some of those Gamakatsu stinger rigs for livies and plastics when fishing that place.
Never mind mate, you'll get him next time

Awsome rod mate, I love that style of grip. The same as the ones on my Starlo Stix Tournament Pro but they look a hell of a lot more SXE!!!
Love the Jewie in the previous report, just off legal though, dam.
Keep up the good work.

Great work guys
There has been increased bait in the Hacking also, looks like the inshore waters are readying themselves for the pocket rocket onslaught

Squid will be easy to come by as the waters warm up, they are a gun livie for Jews.
Never mind about the lost ones but you got one so you should be happy with that.

Gday fishraiders, just wondering if someone could give me a little advice. I am currently using standard 4lb fireline on a 1000 size real, what is the differance between that and crystal fireline and what do you guys think is the best 4lb braid for tossing lures?
Definately FINS mate, I'm a Fireline hater
Holds memory, not true braid and feels like plastic.
Even more so to the Crystal Fireline, though I havn't used it, my mate has and he always gets wind knots on the spool and ends up losing at least 10m every time. I beleive "landbased" has had this problem with the crystal line aswell.
FINS imo is the best line you can get in the average price range, for the more expensive stuff I like Bass Hard PE braid.

i know your spot x and it is a great spot for many different species.

i would target squid at night off the bundeena ferry wharf, they are everywhere down there at the moment, you will even see them swimming under your feet and get to sight cast for them.
Have you been donw there lately?
I've been waiting till I've seen them at one of my other spots before i spend ferry money to get over there.
I might be going down on Wednesday or Thursday targetting flatties off mainbar but it may be worth have a jig for some Squid if they are there atm.

still finding time to get a rod for it. don't be fooled by the pic, its just an old spin rod with old mono. i think i just got a bit too eager hehe
i'll probably take it down to lilli pilli to do some practicing. hopefully the kings are there like last summer/autumn.
Well we should get them because I'm going to target them this Summer. Unlike last season.
You now have two outfits to own those Kingies so you have no excuses for not getting any.
IFS

Gotta be happy with that
Bring it down to the Port in a couple weeks when the Kings are more active, make your first fish a big Kingie!
Make sure you're confident with casting before you put expensive braid on it, so you don't end up losing 50m of braid like I did

Nice fish mate.
Does anyone know if there is a Surgeon population in the Port Hacking?

Nice Snapper mate!
I'd love to get a legal Snapper, let alone on a plastic.
IFS

I must say nice technique mate.
I reckon I'll have to practice how to cast like that for the next time I go beach fishing when I need to get right out there.

Great report mate, I was fighting a monster Trout the whole time I read that report
Awsome fish, those guys are HUGE

You have a problem with only being able to catch big Squid?
The arrows will soon plague the waterways so don't worry you'll have your livie squid soon enough.

Peter,
That's a commercial tuna long liner They catch bait in Bate Bay
Ross
Bastards!!!

SP's work as well in the middle of the night as they do in the middle of the day.
If the fish are there, they will have a go at the plastic no problem.
Night dwellers only need Moon and Starlight to be able to see where they are going and what they are going to eat.
I've earnt the name Pikeman because I'm a gun Pike fisho. These fish, 90% of the time will only be caught between dusk and dawn when there is very little to no light.

Great work mate!
I just love Squid, by far the most fun live bait to catch and also the most tasty!!!
IFS

Great work mate!
Finally onto a Surgeon, great to get onto a fish you've been targetting to get for the first time.

Great work mate, nice to come back from holidays and see that the Arrows have turned up.

Awsome fish mate, 15kg Mahi Mahi
What a shame you didn't land him, they taste amazing!
Keep heading out mate, looks like you've got luck on your side.

Great work mate, a very nice haul of Squid
Not long now, I'm just itching to get out and hammer some big Kings

Great work mate, I love Trevally for the fun of catching them
I second that Rob, can we have a full pic of the boat?

Rapala Vs. Shimano
in Tackle Talk
Posted
I'm starting up this thread as I'm now on the lookout for a Kingfish/Tuna rod for Summer.
My question is, which rod would best fit my needs, and which rod comes out on top?
Rapala Braid Concept or Shimano Bluewater Tcurve.
Both are very similarly priced so I'm not worried which is cheaper.
I'll be fishing both landbased and off the boat using 15lb and 20lb braid. I have no problem with long rods on the boat, so I think 7' would be the ideal length for me.
I'm looking at either a 6 - 10kg or 8 - 12kg rod (keeping in mind I'm not totally sure of the rod ratings the Rapala rods come in, so please advise me if they are inaccurate).
Thanks in advance
