Not a bad fish on 6kg
the australian record on 6kg is 20kg so its pretty close well done.. -
where and how do you get the tusks out?
-
The river is a bit murky lots of rubbish and weed today.
-
Had the same on one of my bonito on tuesday.

Totally agree with what has been said - take a right as soon as you turn into the Garie beach turn off.
I have a couple of questions too:
1. Is there a pub down there? The last time I was there (a long time ago) there was a wheatherboard shack that I am sure was a pub. I have been told that the surf lifesaving club take kegs around by boat. If so how godd would that be?
2. can you camp there?
thanks everyone
gav
There is no camping allowed down at burning palms

Took my eldest son out on the bay yesterday for a quick fish.We headed over to the breakwall to get some livies and had 5 little yakka's swimming around in the live bait tank.We then anchored at the end of the breakwall,sent down the first yakka and started rigging some light gear the rod buckles over he's all over it telling me get out of the way after a short fight i look down in the water thinking it's a rat king but no its a jewie
once in the boat he's jumping up and down screaming it's a jewie a quick measure and it's 56cm after a couple of phone calls to pa & mum we put out another yakka this one lasts about the same time before the rod buckles over again
with a little help to get the rod out of the rod holder he was fighting again this one gave him a bit of curry another jewie was in the net a bit bigger 62cm more phone calls another yakka went out but anchor had pulled off goes the rod again this ones mine with the line sceaming off a nice king at 68cm was in the net moved back to where we first anchored and sent down the baits again for no luck,headed back after an hour,got home and ran to all the neighbours showing his catch very happy boy.. -
Thanks for all the reply's guys
The boys are off to nelson bay for 4 days with their grandfather. Hope they get some. -
The next generation of raiders are coming through
Well done on your first fish mate with more to come. -
Gee that's a nice size whiting your young fellow got hold of Nudge
Looks like he's getting ready to follow in his Dad's footsteps, did he catch it in the boat fairly close to home did he Graham or was he just fishing landbased closeby?Cheers
jewgaffer
Thanks byron. He caught the whiting off the beach this morning. marlon was pretty happy he ran and showed all the neighbours when he got home
-
I went fishing with my daddy this morning and caught my first whiting i caught it on my favorite rod with some nippers we pumped yesterday. It was 43 cm long.

Where abouts at kurnell mate? right of the point or in shallow?
In the shallows.The darker it gets the closer to the beach they come.
Nice sqiddies Nudge.
When are we going to the palms ?
Todd
The squid are in the freezer ready to go for a walk!!
-

catching squid on soft plastics?
Looks like a jew or big taylor bite...
Where did you catch them?
Cheers,
Andrew
I allways take a jig with me. Caught them at kurnell.
-
Got the plastics out this afternoon for some flatties and ended up with these squid
Check the bite mark. -
Nice mako. Very good eating and no bones.
-
Nice photos Nudge and as Peter said that gutter alongide the sandbar looks like it would fish very well at night I reckon.... have you been spending a weekend or two down there having a fish have you Graham?
Cheers
jewgaffer
Heading down this weekend and again for farthers day weekend. My brothers have been down there and only managed bream and a heap of small flatties.
How good is that gutter!! That would have to hold fish for sure.
Hey Nudge
How long a walk is it from the top car par at garie to Burning Palms?
From memory you can camp down there. With summer coming up that would be a top spot for a camp and fish.
We use to camp at Garie beach a while back and fish the Nth end rock ledge - you get some great fish there
gav
The walk from Garie is around 4 km there is a car park at the top of the hill which is only 2.5 km to the beach and they stopped camping down there around 10 years ago.

These pictures where taken in the morning and afternoon. Love the sand bar!

Nice size snapper Graham
I hope you enjoy being back at work after the nice holiday you had on the big boat.....Cheers
jewgaffer
Thanks jewgaffer didn't fish to much up there just relaxed.

Got 1 more day of fishing in before heading back to work after 3 weeks off. got some squid in the morning for bait and headed off for my favorite bit of reef near the light at solander. Set the burley trail and for the next 3 hours got nothing but sweep
hooked up on something big and after 15 minutes decided to head for the anchor. Sick of sweep so switched to a soft plastic first throw a small king 3rd cast after that a nice red a couple more cast for a baker and called it quits. -
Just got home from 16 days of living aboard a new assegai.

He wont even tell his best mate
-
Well done
With that many around do you think they are spawning? -
Kurnell groynes. I personally don't think it matters what type of jig you use sometimes the cheapest and oldest ones work!
-
Just got back from a quick fish down the local groynes took two packets of plastics in my pocket.Walked half way down the groyne and spotted a few nice size squid. Bugger no jigs so turned back around ran home grabed 2 jigs and ran back. Still there rigged up the jig and dropped in front of the first one hook up then the next straight on the third didn't like what i was doing and made a b line for the nearest weed bed.
the australian record on 6kg is 20kg so its pretty close well done..
