I've never seen anything like it. The upside down pic plays havoc with my ipad ( and my grasp on technology) Nice catch, is there a record for that species?

Welcome back fisherman. That lure will still catch more, but I can understand you keeping it. But I would keep it on the boat for those times it's called for.

I rang DPI and left a message

You have to love that zzzzzzzzzzzzzz................ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Bad luck mate

No problem Enjoying the banter

You got more like 5% off the prices I've seen. $69 Typo error? I wouldn't go in guns blazing, it never pays to burn your bridges at the local. But I would let them know.

Captain Nemo would be proud of that. Well done.

Canada Bay is between Five Dock and Concord. Lyons Road passes it at the Barnwell park golf course.

I saw a reply to a report, someone witnessed a release into Canada Bay

That probably why they are on the surface and near the shoreline. Just a little warmer.

Thanks mate. Just took a few photos of the Barra and let him go. He didn't look as bad as the other one I saw. But the guys said his eyes were white and probably blind.

I met up with fellow raiders Dan and Trevor for another crack off a wharf around Balmain. There was another group already fishing so we had to take a secondary spot. We got the berley going and I soon got a down and pulled the hook on a nice fish. Then Dan hooked a good one and expertly played him out and into the net. The other group moved on so we switched spots. Then Trevor pulled out a fish around 40 cm. Then it was my turn for a fish that went mid 30s It was a bit slow between bites. We managed one more when Dan spotted the Barra just cruising the surface I grabbed the net and scooped him up He was around 45cm With 4 Blackfish and one Barra it was pretty good day. Thanks guys Im learning heaps and got a good feed. Cheers Ryder

Spot on tef1on

Definitely no E10 and I have heard no 98 in a 2stroke. Apparently the higher octane can make the oil/fuel split. Is this true?

I'd go Forster for blackfish. The Breckenridge Channel, If you surf as well, Crescent Head and the beaches down to Plomer fish well for tailor, bream whiting and Jewies . If you jump the fence to Qld, just in time for the Tailor run on Fraser but its 4wd

This is cunji or conjevoi. It is the one that squirts water. Cut off the top Scoop out the meat

That's awesome.

On such light gear,..? Fantastic.

That looks fantastic. Pity about the result. The water is so clear everywhere, we need rain to stir it up. What about the vibes or blades? Especially when things are shutdown . With a bit of stink added..slow lift and retrieve , annoy them into a strike. If its not working change it up. Cheers

That's Gold!

Which is it ? I'm a berley man.

That really stinks. Thieves can go and rot.... I hope the cops get them. We should all photograph our gear and mark it somewhere. The last lot I heard about turned up at cash converters. Sorry.

I saw someone on the wall today. He had something in the bag. I stepped off the wharf onto one of those stabilisers. The boat and ferry wash turned me off. I really appreciate your advice.

Thanks fisherman. I let him go, but I did think about recycling that last bit of weed hanging out of his mouth.

With the leftover weed and berley, I went back the same spot as yesterday. The wind had turned sw so it wasn't that protected. I berleyed up and got zero, not one down. I then tried Chiswick ferry wharf, for the same result. I move over to Hunters Hill, same again berley berley no takers. Getting cold and frustrated, I thought stuff this. One last cast, and I chucked all the leftover berley and weed, packed my bag and about to wind in when my float took a dive. After a short fight a 37 cm specimen was in the net. I brought a tape measure with me, but left the phone in the car. That kind of day
