    Never mind mate thats the way it goes with fishing.You mention the other guys fishing drummer did any one catch any Blackfish as they have been inconsistent down there of late.

    cheers Steve.

    no one fishing for blackfish. A few weeks ago a group of 6 were all black fishing but only managed a couple while I was there.

    Rock fishing Maroubra

    Hit the rocks at north Maroubra from about 5am to 7.30am. Pretty slow, scored one nice salmon but no other touch all morning. This spot can really fire when they're on, but clearly they're not really on... Few other guys there fishing for drummer and optimistically kingfish but got nothing when I left. Also got in trouble from the missus going fishing while she was sick, hence early departure, oops!

    Don't take it personally, I know how you feel, I've been out four times in a row for nothing now. When land based that's just how it is sometimes I guess, the fish aren't always there or interesting in your bait and it's harder to relocate to a new spot. I've had some good times too can't complain too much!

    I've always has trouble getting big distance when using whole pilchards and a star sinker. Also you can "crack" the cast too much otherwise like you say you end up losing the bait, so you end up doing more of a Lob cast. It sometimes doesn't matter, as often they are feeding at your feet!

    No pelagics off rocks

    Had a crack off shark point, Clovelly this morning. Not a bite for 3 hrs on lure or floating pilchard. The pelagics are just not there at the moment. Met a guy coming back who said the drummer are going off at the moment. That info would have been more useful at 4am this morning! Anyway that's fishing

    No luck off the rocks Sydney east

    Went out early on Friday for a rock session targeting tailor/salmon. 3 hrs and not one nibble! Was my first time out for 8 weeks since my wife gave birth so I was keen to go.

    Bit surprising as the last four times I've been out I've returned with a bag full of tailor each time. Same technique and time. I reckon I jinx it by talking up how much I was looking forward to fish and chips for Friday dinner!

    That's fishing hey.

    I did get this top sunrise though 3azany6y.jpg

    Any fish in wattamolla beach?

    There are lots of bream and whiting in the lake. They are easy to catch on light tackle using prawn or pilchard. I caught about 10 but none were legal size. But where there are small ones, bigger ones follow! Just watch out for swimmers in summer

    Spinning off the beach

    I'm sure they'll be salmon off the beaches this time of year. Flathead will also attack soft plastics. I personally prefer bait fishing off the the beach... It's just less effort that 500 casts and retrieves, that's just me

    Does main line matter?

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    No it doesn't. I run 30 pound braid on mine so if I'm targeting kings or big tailor off the rocks I'll add a stronger leader, if I'm fishing for blackfish I'll add a light 10 pound leader, doesn't make any difference. Plus the braid is so darn expensive! The perfect solution would be to have 6 different rods and reels and line setup for every type of fishing you want to do, but this is an expensive way to do it

    Long Casting into the Surf

    in Tackle Talk

    Posted

    I often fish with a paternoster rig with a star sinker at the bottom and whole ganged pilchard about 1m up. It's not very aerodynamic so my casting distance is not very long. However most of the fish I catch are within 50m of the shore anyway so it doesn't really matter

    Just have to say congratulations to everyone for sharing information and helping each other catch a fish or two. This is what fishing and human kind is all about. Too many people these days are happy bragging about their catch but secretive about the details. Well done guys.
