Hello Raiders,
Well i am out of hibernation and am ready to get the boat wet again.
Tracking the weather all week and it looks like a real treat.
Going to put the boat in at Swansea and head out through the heads, wanting to chase some nice big winter snapper.
I have heard Catherine Hill Bay is a good spot and is quite reefy and holds good reds.
Any suggestions, marks, honey holes etc would be great raiders.
I havent fished this area much but at a guess i would say that moon island would be a good spot for livies, squid etc. if anyone can confirm that?
I will be out on Sunday from 5am, any raiders see me out on the water come say hi.... I have a 5.5m savage lancer named Devil Ray
Thanks in advance

Catching fishi is just a BYCATCH of having a boat.... I loooooove fishing but i love being on the water, letting all your problems dissapear, chatting with ya mates etc it is money well spent for my sanity

Hello raiders...
I bought my first boat around 7 months ago, being on a budget i couldnt buy my dream boat but it was after all " a boat" .
I have slowly made some improvements over time and am looking at going the whole hog soon with a respray, new bai board and live tank etc
I would really like to get a hard top built but i have no idea how much i can expect to pa??, who does these things?? Where do i start?
I have attached a photo of the boat, if anyone has any idea on price ( ball park figure) or a business in Newcastle, Sydney or Central Coast that does this sort of thing then please let me know.
Cheers Guys n Gals

Great effort mate

Plenty of yakkas at Balmoral, i use a sabiki rig ( about $2 at most tackle shops) with small pieces of prawns, squid or Pilchards. Burley them up with small pieces of bread. Once you have your livies i use a very basic rig, large ball sinker down to a swivel then on to your leader tie a 2 hook snelled rig at the bottom. Feed the top hook just through the nose of the fish and the back hook about halfway down just under the dorsal fin. Make sure you have some slack line between the two hooks so you livey can swim freely. Good luck mate

Looks like a great day, plenty of awesome dinners there mate

I would love to see a Fishraider show on TV someday.... Run by the members, sharing rigging techniques, tackle and locations that are accessible to the majority. I know for a show to be viable sponsors need to be onboard but if we use the amount of knowledge from this forum and its members there could be a very informative program with minimal product plugging. People using gear that they have chosen and used not given to them for the purpose of plugging a particular product.

Mate I invested in a sabiki bait rod and have found it to be awesome and saves me a lot of fiddling around with those bait jigs! I buy the sabiki jigs and this rod allows you to not have to change the jig every outing. It's an interline rod so you reel the jig inside the rod.
Im not too far away from you (blakehurst), more than welcome to take it and try it out if you like? Never had an issue catching lives on it!
I have been hearing a little bit about the Sabiki rods, how much are they?

Im feeling ya pain

I am jealous of the guy to be honest.... He gets paid to fish all over Australia and the world. All his gear is given to him and he is paid to use them....
I am craving a fishing show that explains rigs used and why they use them... And to fish in locations that are acessible to the majority of the public.

I just got one about 2 weeks ago... In my opinion the best value for money sounder/GPSon the market... User friendly, great size screen, marks fish good and very accurate.

G,day Raiders....
I have recently moved to Lake Macquarie and i will be competing in the Doylo RSL bream and flathead classic.
I have never really targeted bream before let alone in Lake Macquarie...
I have been hearing stories about chicken guts, skirt steak coated in parmesan cheese as great Bream baits. Are these people taking the piss or has any other raiders used these successfully?
If anyone has any tips, locations, GPS marks , bait, lures, SP's that will help out it will be greatly appreciated
-
That is an amazing catch
-
Probably lucky you didnt hook the king then... You coulda kissed goodbye that jighead and plastic aswell as a fair bit of line ha ha ha ha
-
It was a great day on the water.... A pity i never turned a reel all day
-
What a little champion.... Has got a better action than most of my fishing buds. Great work little man
