[Salting Pilchards/Sardines]

If I can get them as fresh at that, freeze them.

Any left over from a fishing trip, bring them home and salt, or better still brine them.

There was a recent topic on salting/brining bait. Use the search function and you should find it easily.

Thank you, I did read that topic but just wanted to see what people would think about keeping them in the fridge for 3 days.

How did you catch them? probably best to freeze them, just in case you don't go fishing?

Hey all,

I caught some pilchards/sardines yesterday and have decided to salt them for future bait.

I've put them in salt and refrigerated overnight. I was planning on fishing on Sunday, would you recommend freezing them now or just keep them salted in the fridge?

Thanks

Great work guys, what pound leader were you running for the kings?

[My Beast & PB at Towra]

Nice report! I thought that poly was @swordfisherman

I was on the Hobie next to you guys but couldn't manage a hit on my live squid.. I was surprised the squid was still alive after 45 minutes, perhaps it was too big for the little rats

I thought you guys were on lures so I put on a vibe and hooked up instantly. 

Will say hi next time

[Port Hacking again]

Good to see the tailor are out and about, always good fun on lures, albeit a bit expensive !

[PB flathead]

Nice catch, I assume he may be referring to a yakka? Never heard of a Yakima before

[Improving day for Blackfish]

Really nice catch of blackfish there!

[Molli point Yak rat session round 2]

Hey Reelcrazy - where do you launch from to get to Molli point?

Is the Yarra Bay sailing club the best spot to launch from? 

[Botany Bay or Port Hacking]

Plenty of baitfish around, plenty of bust ups, only salmon, no kings today, looked like they were targetting pillies or whitebait

Hacking. The strong winds stir up the bottom silt in the Bay and it goes very quiet.

That sounds fairly reasonable, i'd imagine the shallower waters, especially the flats in Woolooware bay would be quite murky due to the stir up.

Thanks for the advice

[Botany Bay or Port Hacking]

Hey guys,

After all this rain we've had, the weather is looking quite good for a fish this Saturday.

I was planning on taking my kayak out and wanted to target some bream and flathead on lures.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to whether Kurnell or Woolooware bay fires up after the rain or would the Hacking be a better choice after this rain?

Thanks

[Landbased Spots At Como]

Could anyone give me a few tips on fishing Como Landbased? Whats the best bait there to target flatties/bream/whiting, are SPs any good there, if so whereabouts?

Thanks,

[Moon Point]

Is there any way to access Moon Point for Landbased fishing, or is it only accessible by boat only.

[Picnic Point, Georges River National Park 13/01/07]

There were lots of boats and jet skis, but if you go further up Water skiing is prohibited, I was fishing opposite side Mills Creek entrance.

[Picnic Point, Georges River National Park 13/01/07]

Thanks, it took a while for the bites to start happening, my parents had told me beforehand there arent many decent sized fish here, but we suprised them when we showed them.

[Picnic Point, Georges River National Park 13/01/07]

Started the day off at 12 PM.

Landbased fishing.

The weather was calm at first, then the wind gradually increased.

Main bait used was prawns and chicken meat, prawns were the main hit.

Landed around 7-8 bream, 1 keeper measuring at 27 cm, the second biggest measured 18 cm. We also landed a poddy mullet.

There is alot of weeds towards the middle but very little snags. All these fishes were hooked around the weeds.

Left at 5 PM.

Was an alright day overall, just me and my brother fishing, as I only started recording my catches, I will say this is my current PB bream 27cm and I will attempt to beat that record with SPs.

[Berkley Powerbait Power Minnow]

Thanks alot for both posts, helped me alot, i'll have a look at the different sized Finese head.

[Berkley Powerbait Power Minnow]

I recently bought Berkley PowerBait Power Minnow, 3" with Power Scales, Bloodworm/scales.

Has anyone used these before?

What size jigs did you use?

Are these SPs effective/successful?

Tips/Technique used for this SP?

What do you mainly target with this SP?/What normally targets this SP?

And any other general comments you want to add about these SPs could you please tell me.

[Anyone That Fishes Georges River]

Could anyone who fishes at Georges River fairly often landbased prefabably, contact me via pm or msn (in my profile)?

[People Are Such D!ckheads]

There are some people over and over that deliberatly drive into our lines to cut them, whilist yelling racist comments.

The side on Old ferry Rd with the cable sign is generally where i get most of the whitings from.

[Illawong Bay/point]

Sorry as Im not very familiar with the names of places around Illawong, but can someone tell me the street that Illawong bay and point is on as I have read that its fairly enchanted over there ;p. Thanks

[New To Fishraider]

Thanks alot, just extra info, I mainly fish on the side via Old Ferry Road, but if anyone has any other hot spots around that location closeby to Illawong I'd be glad to hear it

[New To Fishraider]
