Hi Raiders, Ever since I started to learn about sp's and lures, I haven't got anything at all except being successful in squid jigging. I wonder whether there is something wrong with my retrieve on sp or I have been to the wrong spot all the time. Is there anyone willing to guide me along or give me some hints where are the good spots for lures/sp exercise ? That will be greatly appreciated. I am even hoping for a tutor. Hope that I am not asking too much from everyone here, in fact, I learnt all my fishing skills through this website. Cheers Cal

@trout stalker, I used your method this evening again, got 6 dropped 2 off less than an hour! could have stay longer but storm came in !! cheers for that! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

sorry matyg LOL

aeb870 I was at there 2 weeks ago I saw heaps of blokes keep pulling up 1 by another 1, definitely there is alot there, tide wise was low tide. Using squid lure with a float 2m+ above and a weight. I am not sure how to do the set up but this is what I have seen.

Hi matyg, Which carpark you meant? Lake mac is pretty big and carparks are everywhere around them.. Have you tried the entry point to the river near five islands road Dave? I heard they produce some good results there, I was there on run out tide Saturday but got none on sp

Thanks for all the tips raiders. @Dave I am still waiting for your PM lol...

Thanks Luc. I guess I am using the Rapala knot as you mentioned, it tends to work better, the only thing is the guy next to me had a small weight on my jig as well and said it works better and sinks faster, I forget how he actually attach the sinker together with a rapala knot, do you or any raiders have any idea how to do this? Cheer Cal

yeah @catching jack, is pretty shitty now since we cant get any lights at night apparently the lights all broken. I haven seen anyone catching big 1 there but heard a lot of stories. @davetheboy, pm me anytime I can be your buddy I fish 7 days a week! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thank Groper, I based in Newcastle, do you jig there as well? Well, I travel to sydney often too, dont mind you to share me those spots as well.

Good Morning Raiders, This topic might not interest everyone and I think i am nobody to brag in front of every experienced raiders here, however, would like to share some joy here. Went to my usual spot on the weekend 6pm, tried on my squid jig but to no avail. Met a guy down there who got a couple squids and was thinking if I should get some tutorial from him. As he is trying to give me some tips I have got this squid! Stoked! In fact I got 2 small ones on Saturday but this is my 3rd Squid in my life! On the other hand, I flick a sp trying to catch a flathead (which i never had in my life too ), tried prob 50 throws but i get nothing, was gonna give a couple more and decided to call it a day. Tried to reel it back and thought i got a snag again and I was like god damn it i dun wanna lost my jig head and sp.. but I was actually moving something back! Might be just weeds or other stupid things in the water but I got this big swimmers... I would like to thank Scratchie for his tips and guidance on my rods,reel and braid selection.. thanks Scratchie, fireline is not good, but simply bloody good... Calvin.

That idiot hit my car panel on the driver side , extended all the way to the panel on top of driver side tyre. Is a brand new Lexus and sigh ! Guess bad luck and nothing more I could do . That flattie is around 1.2kg at 65cm mark. Yeah I will be careful with the size limits. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Bought a 10ft rod with a Penn reel on Saturday, feeling excited and decided to go Avoca for rock fishing. Got there today around 3.30pm, went there and and swearing myself because of the swell and cant even get past to the rock platform. Gave up and we decided to head towards home and drop by Swansea. Got there finally around 5.30, started fishing with 2 other rods using live tube worms. Within minutes bang bang bang got off breams one another , and 2 small snappers as well. Started to think I should play something with my big rod. Had a ganged hook on with pilchard and cast. Thought I would be stupid to do so in Swansea but big BANG.! Landed my first ever Flathead.! Decided to stop around 9 and headed back to my car. Before started my engine found out that some idoits actually hit on my BRAND NEW CAR , I mean BRAND NEW, asked around the staffs if they have CCTV but hey, just being unlucky. I guess nothing is free in this world but certainly I won't forget today foe landing my first ever yet super expensive Flathead. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hi All, Anyone would like to do fishing trip on coming Saturday? I live in Warners Bay and happy to fish around the Nelson Bay / Central Coast area. I am not very good in fishing but very keen to learn more tricks from anyone. Cheers Calvin

Anybody interested for fishing at Stockton breakwall today? I might be heading down. Cheers
