Sensational read !!! Had me on the edge of my seat....

A great read.Cant wait for my mid life crisis (lol). Did you see any sharks on your travels?

Well done ya lucky bugger !!!

Its worth go mate, rain has certainly stirred the big girls up.

No Howsy was fishing down on the western side of Wimbledon Ave..

Hi Raiders, Recently i have been concentrating all my efforts fishing the beach and rocks for absolutely zero success after 5 recent outings, Itching go for a fish today and conditions ruling out a beach or rock fish i decided to hit my local lagoon. Got everything ready then jumped in the car for the 5 minute drive. After my drive and gearing up the heavens decided to open up but this wasnt going to deter me after all i had my trusty rainjacket with me.. Starting wading around to my fav spot and fired out the first cast, a couple of jerks of the rod and a slow wind i felt some weight which at first i thought was a bit of debris until line starting peeling of my little sedona 2500, after a decent fight i soon had a nice sized flattie in my keeper net and for the record she went 62cm. Now usually i would release a flattie of this size being a female and all but because she had swallowed my 2 hook rig and it has been a long time between bringing a fish home she was kept.Also caught some nice sized bream, tailor, whiting which were all released. Got home and the Mrs's comment was "Now thats a fish". Happy days. Anway im going to try upload some pics for the first time with this post hopefully it works. Thanks for reading.

What rocks were you fishing off?

Good catch there, I plan on hitting palmie this arvo, were you fishing the pittwater side?

One of my mates lost a nice jew in the wash last friday night, wont tell you what beach because i plan on fishing it Sat arvo and into the night . ive been planning this trip for a while(even though i only live 5 mins away)... Have you tried Newport wharf or Taylors Point wharf for yakkas?

Thanks Captain, Im going to go the 8000..

Gday fellow raiders, Quick question for you, tomorrow i plan on buying a new reel for my Shimano aerowave 12ft medium surf, im going with a stradic fj was going to go with the 6000 model but i could get the 8000 model for $11.00 more Which one do you think i should go for . Combo will be used for beach and off the stones... Cheers. ssalty.

Nice flattie there, i fish the lagoon most weekends but havent had any luck with the flatties for about 4 outings now..

Gday all, Todays short report , lots of tailor and bream caught one 31cm specimen kept for the neighbour.... Going to keep some of those choppers next weekend and use them as jewie bait of the beach...

there was a dead jew weighing in at 5 kgs was found up the back end of the lagoon 2 weeks ago....

Gday Sarge, I was out on the Lagoon on Sat arvo pedalling around on the Hobie, very quite session i must say. Thought all the rain would stir up the flatties, but all i managed was a couple of bream and tailor all undersized.. Had 1 really solid hit which took me by suprise, an enjoyable arvo anyway.

Great flattie there mate , even better that you released that old gal..

Gday nursie yep know about the prawns the local fishing club released them on behalf of fisheries, should be ready to collect now..

To those of you who have asked my fav spot and most productive spot is the big sandbank in front of the house's on Wimbledon Ave that face west so the back end of the lake. regards Ssalty

Gday Raiders, Went for a fish on the kayak Saturday arvo at my usual spot, flicking white bait out onto the dropoff,almost a fish every cast. This time however i went home with a few keepers, 2 bream one at 27cm and the other at 30 cm then a nice flattie at 45cm. To tops things off i also caught a blue swimmer crab (a first for me) thought at first it was a bit of weed until i saw it,It let go off the bait but i managed to spoop it up in the net. So a very enjoyable arvo spent fishing , although my 2 mates i was with had the shits because they caught nothing.. Cant wait for next weekend!!! regards.. Ssalty

Great to hear the Northern Beaches are firing.... Nice flatties

Yes Mui Mui , that would of been me you spoke with on Saturday. Its typical to see all these out of area people come over here and rape and pillage the lagoon. The fisheries dept could make alot of money if they patrolled the lagoon one Sat or Sun. The thing is i cant remember the last time i saw a fisheries officer down this way.

Gday Fellow Raiders, This is my first report and a rather short one at that. Went for a fish on the Hobie yesterday, plenty of bream caught about 15 in total no keepers though, although some were close on legal, also lost a nice flattie next to the kayak. Anchored up on the big sandbank at the back near Wimbledon Ave, flicking whitebait out onto the dropoff. Anyway a great way to spend a couple of hours (except for the idiot little buggers hooning around in their tinnies- its an 8 knott limit ya tossers).... Regards . Ssalty..

As always a good read. Thanks mate...

Great to see that all that rain has stirred things up in the lake...

Some nice fish there! Are you talking about Alex B ? And what distances are you reaching with your alvey outfit?
