Hi hi, a few of us are heading over to Bali on wed and we got together tonight and we said that a fishing charter would be sweet, and makes me happy!! Quick question, if anyones been over there before and can recommend a charter? we're there for a birthday, so staying for a week only, which is a shame, but a pretty sweet gig at the same time!! incase you've been there before and wondering where we are staying etc, we are staying in The Villa's in Seminyak, 8 of us in a 3 bedroom villa... hells yes :D many a bintang to be had

ive caught one of these around neutral bay too. they do indeed stink, incredible how much they smell!!!

nice work on the keepers love this photo:

can i say i also have no problems in getting loads of yakka's, but slimies are a troublesome lot!!! do bait jigs and burley work for slimies as well as they do for yakkas?? p.s. yakka's can be gotten from nearly any structure around pretty much, i.e. wharves etc. just berley up, i give it about 10 minutes of good burleying, if they aint there, they aint there i find!

hey there that was me who u guys ran into! thanks heaps for the lures, now i know what people are talking about when they talk about them. good work with the yakkas didnt get anymore hits that day, when u saw us trolling thru MH we were just going for a cruise to see my mates gf, having a bit of a squizzer around, had a good and informative day out there though the tally ended up 2 kings on yakkas @ 63cm each (sent back) and a salmon approx 50cm?? didnt measure, just put him back too see u round soon no doubt! seb

yea pretty obvious you cant fish that area (like directly under the bridge), yet everytime i was there looking out (about 4/5 hours of the day) i could see the birds working, and it was in places u could fish aswell, say near lavender bay, right up against goat island etc, as i saw people fishing there for a good hour or so the other afternoon, they definately didnt get in anyones way, didnt get any fines either (from what i saw) obviously not intending for people to do anything stupid, but just a bit of info for everyone seeing as i cant get out there! i took some pics the other day where u can see the fish just under the surface of the water, i will try post them when i get them from work

Hey all, long time no post!!! Just thought i should post something up, ive worked almost every day for the last week and a half and i can clearly see the main harbour from work. each time ive been at work, ive seen birds working the surface and baitfish being raped every single day!! not a once off or anything, we're talking almost all day every day, guarentee'd, most ive waited is like 30 mionutes before something happens. Its been happening everywhere from goat island down to fort denison, including under the bridge, near walsh bay wharves, just off blues point, pretty much everywhere, thats about as far as i can see clearly anyways, and sometimes we are talking ALOT of birds too and biggg schools of baitfish, not just a couple, like schools of baitfish and birds smashing them that must be atleast about 15-20 metres accross, and what must be 100+ birds i reckon. ive been working late days, so from like 11am -> onwards, biggest i saw was yesterday, about 5.30pm, just before it started raining, and thats when i saw the masssssive schools of baitfish and a whole heap of birds. not really a report cause ive been working and havnt had a chance to go fishing for a while, but just thought i should post up so someone else can catch them!!! i'd be happy to post more details if anyone wants to ask, so let me know! p.s. no idea on what fish were underneath, cant see that clearly unfortunately.

i use a combo of listerine and soap and give em a good scrub, has NEVER failed me in the past!!!!! i use a nail brush and scrub all over my hands with it, but particulary under the nails. thats right folks, mouthwash... similar effect to toothpaste i imagine, except the listerine has more alcohol in it

i will be chasing powder days at perisher, and working every other day to save my pennies for the snow.... i'll see u guys in 6 months when its warm again! hehe dont think i'll do much fishing, just saving money and going snowboarding at every chance! got a season pass this year, anyone else going on hols to the snow?

Moruya is where all the granite blocks on the harbour bridge came from!! and granitetown aswell, i think is nearby definately lovely pictures you have there

when fishing CG with live yakka's, do u have them under a small float or do u weight them down??

hey, just a quick note, i use balloons as floats now a days (often only inflated to the size of a gold ball) and it keeps livies off the bottom, and it wont get blown away by the wind, AND it doesnt cost jack! the way i connect them is simply when im tieing the knot in the balloon, i put the mainline strait thru the middle of the knot. at first i thought it wouldnt grip and would slide around, but i was wrong, holds its position perfectly, and allows you to slide it to wherever you want it to when necessary. seb
