    Thanks for the reply. I know a lot of guys have trouble catching mullet , I'm one of them.

    I see big ones cruising around spots but never had a serious go at them.

    I have caught them using mullet as bait when going for bream . Is that odd? Mullet on mullet.

    Dough and cotton wool Saturday Arvo I could break my new rod, these guys are big..

    I will post results

    Thanks again

    Embarrassing yet saddest moment of my fishing career.

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Happened to a mate of mine on a charter, that made for an expensive day out.

    Just bad luck mate Sorry

    I read a story on the weekend about the naval jetty near Cobblers Beach. In the fifties there were rumours of massive fish lurking in the waters there.

    In the mid seventies the jetty was open to the public. A fellow called Chris Ward went down with game rod and full gimbal harness to try his luck.

    He hooked something huge and was pulled off the wharf and disappeared.

    In 1977 a prawn trawler netted a 300+lb Black Cod under Gladesville Bridge. It had thick line running out of its mouth.

    When they pulled in the line it was attached to his rod and his skeletal remains still in the harness.

    That's real bad luck.

    Fishermans best buddy

    This is my buddy, Max . Loves fresh fish and mental for fresh prawns . We adopted him 3 years ago.

    If you come home smelling of fish and your partner doesn't like it ; ......your cat will.

    ,

    A very well known charity animal adoption agency based in Yagoona is at capacity for our feline friends.

    If you or anyone you know needs a buddy, adult cat adoptions are half price. $50 Vaccinated,wormed,desexed.

    They get little government funding.

    I hope I'm not breaking rules, but if you can help please do.

    No haters

    Strange sand worm while pumping nippers

    in The Aquarium

    Posted

    They are a type of Nemertea, they occur throughout the world. Not sure how common they are here, but they are known to be hard to catch.

    Some species are sold as bait in the US and South Africa.

    Some species are toxic having a similar poison to pufferfish .

    Research has shown they are eaten by some fish and avoided by others, sometimes they are eaten then violently rejected.

    As a bait the head is the firmest part the rest of the body quite soft. The tail often gets bitten off so a 2 hook snell is the go. 1 hook in the head one in the tail.

    I don't know if this one is toxic, next time get your mate to hold it while you bait it up.

    Text Alert?

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    As a landscape gardener I work several waterfronts and places with a view. I often see massive surface action ,and nobody on it, with no way to communicate to raiders without radio.

    I'm not up with "techmology" but would it be possible to pass info on via text alert to members, from Fishraider on water at the time?

    I know text costs but could it be passed member to member for a single personal cost? Only those logged on pay for alert?

    Like I said I don't know much about this stuff, but I see the fish, I can't be there, and I think someone might like to know.

    Mate I asked about Bayview last week and got no replies but it looks fishy, especially the drop off at the end of the sand bar.

    Have you thought of Narrabeen Lake. Fresh worms at narrabeen bait and tackle. A good place to start is next to the caravan park boat ramp. Then there is the beach, fishing the deeper gutters for bream whiting and flathead. A swim is always an option there.

    I haven't got whiting yet just bream but I am told they work for both. Post in salt water show them getting both.

    Got mine at tackle world Drummoyne , BCF may have them too.

    Check prices online some stores are happy to match if you can quote price and site.

    Good to see, I like to rebuild and reuse when ever possible.

    Have to measure it make sure it's legal

    Zapped at Tarban Creek

    in Saltwater Fishing Chat

    Posted

    I knew the weather was going to be a bit dodgey and didn't want to get caught far from home so I went to Tarban.

    Saw heaps of good size bream competing for bread kids were feeding the ducks. I cast the new sugapen off the other side of the bridge into the creek a few times and I was on. First bream off the surface. Not huge about 20 cm but I was happy.

    I walked along the wall casting as I went and managed another undersize bream a and a couple of choppers.

    I definitely missed a few takes and had heaps of near misses mostly in the creek between the mouth and the footbridge.

    As the weather started closing in and thunder in the distance I was casting off the bridge when my graphite rod discharged electricity into my thumb. It lasted about 1/2 second and I could hear the Zzzzzzzzzz Ouch

    Would this be from the static in the air before the storm or does it just build up in the rod from casting ?

    Made it out of there before the real lightning started.

    P.S A local came up and asked me if I was after kingies ,with my 3 kg outfit I laughed and said no, he said they have been in there.

    Land Based Options

    Weather permitting I am going out tomorrow for a fish. Following your advice I am making the move to more synthetics. I have Zmann grubs and power bait minnows and a sugapen, this time I am looking for a feed. Any suggestions north-side would be much appreciated. I am thinking Bayview or Narrabeen.

    Thanks
