    Parasites? The little bugs that are in their mouths? Would this mean they wouldn't be eatible?

    Great catch! If you don't mind me asking, what hook size, hook type, and sinker weight did you use? I went to Brooklyn a few days ago and caught nothing! (landbase) on the rocks next to the M1 bridge. Do you have any suggestions of a good spot?

    Hi all, I get confused with a yellowtail "kingfish" and a yellowtail "scad". Can someone let me know if the photo is a scad? Also, are yellowtail scad good eating fish? Thanks!

    Are they edible?

    Here is another photo, if it helps

    Anyone know what fish this is? I'm thinking either a Bass Groper or Banded Rock Cod? I released it because I didn't know what it was.

    I just tried this, my dropper loop is about 4cm long on the line. From my observation, wouldn't this scare the fish away? there is alot of lines in such short distance.
  8. LearningFisher112
    Which size would you recommend? and colour?
  9. LearningFisher112
    Have you guys tried these? It comes in 46mm and 34mm I'm thinking of buying the 34mm one, but the 46mm one seems of a better colour. Thoughts?

    So the idea in "Rig Two" is to get the sinker to the bottom and let the hooks swivel there? But the idea in "Rig One" is to allow it to float in mid water, or close to the surface? Is this correct?
  11. LearningFisher112
    Similar to this I guess: You can still see the water run, but there are no waves. Should sinkers be used in this situation?
  12. LearningFisher112
    Oh right.. Haha.. A lagoon, lake, wharfs, quite clam waters but it still drags the line with weight on it. What is a "running rig"? I've done a search on paternoster rig, and it resulted in two different types. Rig One: Rig Two: At the moment, I've been using Rig One with only 1 end hook.
  13. LearningFisher112
    Both saltwater and freshwater. Would be good to know both rig for future referencing I always see whitting tackle kits consisting of teardrop sinkers, but it seems that only a low sinker or no sinker at all should be used.
  14. LearningFisher112
    Also, should a 2 hook rig be used in this scenario? using a dropper loop?
  15. LearningFisher112
    Should it still be approx 70cm-1m if you are using 2 hooks?
  16. LearningFisher112
    What type of sinker do you recommend for beam and whiting? From my observation, breams tend to be up in the water and whitings are usually below the water? I have many different sinkers such as; circle rounded, teardrop with a attachment hook, and a oval shaped one.
  17. LearningFisher112
    So generally, a sinker is not required? But how do you cast the line if there is hardly any weight? So for the rig: Loose Sinker (very small weight) -> swivel -> line -> hook My question is, how long should the link be between the swivel and hook?

    I use a #6 long shark hook for Bream and Whitting. Haven't had luck on the Whitting though, but I did get two small bream which I released. What is the recommended rig for Bream? What is the recommended rig for Whitting? Where should the front drag knob be initially set? High, Low, or Medium?

    Hey everyone I just had my first fishing trip and I wanted to ask for some tips. When a fish nibbles your bite, you can feel it. When a fish eats your bite, you can feel it. When you think a fish has eaten your bite (and hook) what is the next steps? Give it a fast and hard pull and spin, or take it slow and gently? I had more success with the latter one but still unsure what works. The target was bream and whitings. Also what is the purpose of the front drag knob? and when should it be used and adjusted?
  20. LearningFisher112
    Anyone know good fishing spots to catch breams, whitings, and flatheads? Looking to get that species on my 2-4kg fishing rod. I had plans to fish at Rose Bay and Watsons Bay but read this report: http://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/consumers/keeping-food-safe/special-care-foods/sydney-harbour-seafood/#recommended-max-intake Sydney habour contains toxins. Does anyone know locations that they don't mind sharing and have toxic-free waters, as I would like to eat my catches Also, does anyone know if the crabs on the rocks are eatable in kiama?

    Planning to go to Rose Bay and possibly Watsons Bay for my first fishing trip. Anyone have any tips and tricks? Also I wanted to know if the fish is safe to eat in this area?
  22. LearningFisher112
    Is this good? The size is 38mm

    I just purchased the 2-4kg rod + 2500 reel + 8lb mono line (sealine) :banana: Any tips and tricks before I get out there?
  24. LearningFisher112
    The rod holds 2-4kg, but a 8lb mono line holds 3.6kg Wouldn't to be better to get 9lb? or 10lb?
  25. LearningFisher112
    Even on a Graphite rod?
