Hi Guys, I am heading on during the week since I finally got some time off work. Wanted to take the familia up to Avoca and was wondering what you can catch there? Also, I want to squid there for live bait so I am wondering if there is anywhere I can squid from at Avoca? Should I be fishing from the north side of Avoca or South Side? From the rocks or just the beach? I will take a bag of pillies and freshly caught squid from the night before, but preferably I would like live bait as I want to try slide fishing out this way. Any advice and help is appreciated

Went here two weeks ago just as an update for people. Great potential spot if the wind wasn't there. Quiet and has some light there at night too. Was only there for about 30mins and decided to pack it up since the wind was going crazy. Want to try this place again though on a better night

The woollies prawns are awesome especially when they are fresh. Not like that frozen tweed baits stuff which crumble up as soon as you peel them. Always catch something when I use woolies prawns hehe

Congrats mate! That's a solid fish! I was out there with a few friends last Saturday also from about 8 - 11. It was freezing cold though ... Like you said water was warm, we managed to bag 3 bream 28cm, 29cm and 33cm which was a solid enough effort for me. All caught on Fresh Banana Prawns from Woolworths.

Hey Steve, I am not expert in Squid Fishing but have caught a fair few in my time. I use mainly Yamashita's, Yo-Zuri and Berkley Powerbaits since they come scented. I always start with either a pink or an orange since this is what I have had most success with throughout the years. If there is no action on them for about 30 minutes I will alternate to different colors such as browns, whites, silvers, blues and greens. My squid jig collection isn't huge but the majority of them would be pink / orange. As for the success rate of these jigs, it's about the same throughout the range. really depends on how you work the jig. There is also no doubt that you can catch squid with the cheapo jigs as well but I have never had any luck. I am going to add some Gancraft Jigs into my collection soon as there is a local tackle shop to me that sells them for $20. Anyway, good luck with the squid mate.

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to know if anyone has done any fishing off Northbridge Sailing Club? I am not sure if you're even allowed to fish there ... I tried to call them but there was no answer as they only operate Sunday according to their message. Also tried to call the Council but they had no idea. Any advice would be heaps good. Cheers,

Too late now haha I bought the stradic a few weeks ago. I'm heading out to give it another go tonight.

What do you mean by weird reubs?

Hi Raiders, This is my first fishing report so it may not be the greatest ... Went to two locations last night without any success. Got to location one at Balmain Ferry Wharf at about 10pm. Setup up two rods. One for squid and a larger rod with some frozen squid caught on the last trip. Squidding didn't do very well there as it produced nothing. As for the rod with the defrosted squid, it has a few big bites and then nothing. Reeled it back in to find that half the squid had been taken! Unfortunately they left the rest of the squid and wouldnt touch it. Stayed here for about 2 hours without any luck for live squid so moved. Arrived at P2 which wasn't any different. Caught up with a few more mates and my brother. So now there were 5 of us in total and managed only 1 squid. Overall it was very quiet night without much result. Although it had been about 8 weeks since I could get out so I was just happy to wet a line!

Thought I might update everyone. I ended up purchasing the stradic ci4+ in the 2500 and I must admit I am very happy with it. I haven't hooked much on it other than squid but am very pleased. Very smooth and light

Hey All, Just wanted to know if anyone has been to Camp Cove in Watsons Bay lately? Looking at going tonight or tomorrow for some fishing.. Just wondering what's out there and how good it is. Would like to catch squid too and was wondering if anyone had any advice or tips. Anything is appreciated. Is it even worth my time heading out there? ... Looking at going to either of the spots in the photos attached. Where would be better, what bait to use and what sort of fish are there? Thanks again Raiders!

Hehe thanks! I know exactly where that is. I will go try my luck there and hopefully catch some monster squid. Thanks heaps for the help!

Hey drew87, there are so many ledges there lol. finding the flat one with a crack doesnt look like any easy task haha I am thinking you're talking about the one as per the attached.. let me know if i am no where near it lol

Thanks for the advice everyone, it's heaps appreciated. I assume that the boat ramp is on the top side of it... I attached a photo. Let me know if I am mistaken...

Alright sweet, I am going to hit it on the 3rd of April if anyone is down for a trip as well. Will keep everyone posted on how I go there.
