My wife and I use 9lbmono line with 30lb trace and have never been snapped off not even close to being snapped off everybody always talks about using 20-30lb main line off the beach but in my personal experience that is way too much over kill my wife is a very inexperienced fisher i have her rod rigged with 9lb and she had no problems ++with the lighter line you can get better distance and less chance of the fish being spooked by it besides it takes all the fun out of the fight if you can just skull drag in your fish with 20lb main line The lighter the better thats my opinion

yeah we get kings in the bay at the openning to the ocean at ettalong just never heard of them being caught inside

my physics guy from tafe says dead wait would be harder

andersons boatshed at ettalong is a good spot

wheres the rod holders

ya missed it i cooked my entrance salmon last night and it was yummy

thats similar to what i do but i add some capcicum and some fresh chilli to my salsa and i fry the salsa for a minute or so i cook the salmon in filleted strips in a flat pan with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt the olive oil really adds a nice flavour to the fish. The fish does stick a bit so you have to be carefull 1 turn only takes about 2-3min to cook then put fish on plate and top with the warm salsa

yeah thats right but the alvey has a much larger wheel so 1 full circle is probably close to 5 baitrunner circles anyway... if you know what i mean

she wasn't that into fishing but im still in the process of converting her. So the social was a good excuse to come and mingle with other fisho ladies ...maybe next time ill get there and i knew if i could get her into a spot where she could get an awsome catch like a sambo flying out of the water like it was a marlin she would be hooked...its working as you can see by the look on her face after landing the first and best catch of the day

i should have yelled it out from the council park where i was which is right next door

sorry its my misunderstanding i just read it wrong

i seem to have missed something in: http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/inde...showtopic=17797 i thought it was at the council park at the end of hutton road man i drove right by you guys i must have missed the post about the caravan park

aw man i didnt get that msg aw well maybe next time http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/inde...showtopic=17797 i looked here for directions i didnt see a change in the venue i found later on where it said the caravan park in the forum posts man spewin

sorry i must have miss understood they probably didnt take 25 home

well we went down for the social but had no luck finding anyone so we went fishing anyway off the opening of the channel probably about 6:20am after waiting at the council park for 25minutes we had no luck at first it wasnt till about 10am that tash (my wife) caught her first ever big fish.... with no assistance from me.... as you can see she was stoked all in all she caught 34 cm and a 30cm bream and the 57 sambo all i caught was a sambo same size as hers.... out fished but a good morning..

great report... isn't there a 5 per person bag limit on kings

i went up this morning and couldnt find anyone was at the park at the end of hutton at 6am and again at 11am me and the wife fished anyway and she caught a winning bream but i couldnt find anyone we drove around looking for a massive group of people and we couldnt find any. Where was everyone?????

hey guys me and the wife came down on sunday 6am at the park at the end of hutton we couldnt find any raiders so we went fishing anyway caught some beautys too will post in the reports section.... we then went back at 11am to the park the wife caught a bream worthy of the win this thing was huge and still no one there. spewin

its probably a good idea fresh squid rock

i hit the entrance all the time i use a 12ft custom made beach rod with an alvey reel ive got about 700mtrs 9lb line ive never needed anything stronger and ive pulled in some beautys from there i use a 30lb trace with depending on the weather anything from a size 2 to a size 5 ball sinker running i have a 3 hook gang size 4/0 long shank and i use pillies mainly when im using squid or fillets i use a size 6/0 suicide. maybe you could use a stronger trace but i like the fight and the rush of pulling in big fish on light lines theres nothing like it
