Ryder

I learn so much from you all. I think it's fair to share. I live in Ryde and use surf cams to check things out, wind ,swell etc. It can be still as here but blowing hard on the coast. But no surf cam on north narrabeen . Need real information My wife's working alternate weekend shift at RSPCA, So I was free. So I took a walk Low tide during the day not much hope but its better than not fishing, I knew it would be good on the high, and glad it payed off for someone. Still waiting for a big one maybe not this weekend but next on the lead up to the full moon .

Sign up for the social on Sunday Just around the corner

That's it ,You're in it now Nice Bream More to come I'm sure

Sorry no lyrics to Moby Dick just a Bonham drum solo. Just thought of The Ocean , singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain. That's a fishmans diiti

Moby Dick ?

I started fishing with my Grandfather in Forster in the early 70's. I remember him singing Pedro The Fisherman on the way out and we always got fish. It was like a ritual Anyone got a song that works?

Great catch. One after the other, you were "In The Zone" Go again soon with your powers and bag out.

When you are after a few tailor and you get the first one, bleed him into the bait bucket, his mates will go nuts. I don't recommend bleeding a Jewie bait, but you need a few fresh bait for a long stay, they lose their allure after a while

Welcome Sign up for the soft plastics social next Sunday, we are going to learn from the masters

I'd love to try Broome one day. Love Fraser Island, Lola Island in the Solomons ,and North Island NZ Closer to home I love the beaches of Crescent Head. Going to Vanuatu in May

I'm new to the plastics scene, and like you I went fishless and frustrated for a while. I searched the subject here on Fishraider and got my first flathead at Brays Bay in Rhodes, I fished along the wall between the restaurant and the mangroves at the north end of the park. Gulp plastic jerk shad 4 inch on a 1/8th in pumpkinseed with a 2m 10lb fluro leader. Those nuclear chicken you have should work fine. Totally unsophisticated, I just let it sink to the bottom and a slow roll retrieve. Just a few casts an Bang, on. It was about 2 hours after high tide. I wouldn't keep anything from there, but it produced the goods. Maybe see you at the soft plastics social. Ryder

Great first. Gotta love the beach at night. Now you've got the bug! Try the salmon as a slab bait. I hope Mr Mulloway turns up soon. Any chance of naming the beach?

Hi UnderFisher You could try the wharf at Rose Bay and along the wall there. Or the old bridge at Drummoyne end of Victoria place near the submarine cable

On a big shore dump don't be afraid to drop it in just behind, big lazy fish just waiting for what gets stirred up.

Brindabella showed us what she could do while we were anchored inside middle head. Silent and no warning until it was time to turn when the yelling started. They were using us as a mark! These things are big, and to see guys 3m above you laughing it,up its a worry

Well done mate. I saw it at low tide right near the shore at low tide, running deep, so about 10- 20 m out on the high. Use those tailor to 'trade up' nice slab on a big hook 6/0 or 8/0 and Bobs your uncle. Good luck

R.I.P Tragedy, no more.

Narrabeen will pay off, all looks good.

I took a walk along the beach this morning, making a few casts for nought. The tide was running out and a lot of water moving around. I thought I should report the nice looking gutter forming at the north end below the surf club. Two or more deep channels heading out with the gutter about 80m long. It should fish well this evening on the high. There were also a lot bait fish pushed up near the shore. Further south near 'the pines' weed is an issue but the north was pretty clear. I spoke to a local who said they got good flathead and tailor last night. Coming up to the new moon there could be a chance of a Jew. Hope you can use the info, I can't make it tonight

That's not a frog This is a frog

Cool Live report Love it

Legal Snapper have been increasing in the harbour ever since the commercial licence buy back. They have always been there and over fished since year dot The buy back has given the pinkies we all know the chance to grow up. In the late 19 th century steamer charter boats operated in and out of Sydney. 40+ people aboard, they would cover the deck with snapper, a craze called Gradually fishing the harbour and coasts until they became unproductive. Not to mention more modern commercial fishing and pawning operations. Try to get the book "Angling in Australia" by Bob Dunn. Great history of our fisheries. A great read for anyone who loves fishing. Your catch goes to show our licence fees are paying off now and for the future.

Seaweed? I'll have to try that. Thanks

Could have been the same bugger that stole your rod ,or one of his gang.
