    You know Wang, karma has a way of rewarding good deeds like this, one day you'll be fishing and something will happen whereby this deed you've done will catch up with you.

    Thanks Luke! Happy to help :)

    Tight lines on the ledge!

    No worries, saw people were wondering about Bonnies so headed out to have a spin and see if they were biting. The bite was consistent from when I got there to about 9am then it tapered off. That's when the kings turned up. Fish were being caught on metals, hardbodies as well as pillies suspended under floats.

    Hit South Avoca rock platform this morning   Just before sunrise and started throwing around some 40g spanyids. Managed 5 bonnies, the largest going 50cm. Managed to catch 2 rat kings as well which was a first for me, pretty exciting stuff! 

    Hope to see you on the ledge. 

    Just a reminder to stay safe on the rocks and always wear appropriate footwear.

    Matching Hook Size to Soft Plastic

    in Tackle Talk

    Posted

    So I've recently gotten into SP fishing and need to buy some more jigheads. I have a few packets of zman 2.5 grubz and am looking to purchase some 1/12 and 1/16 TT headlockz jigheads. However I have no idea what size hook to match with the 2.5 grubz. 1/12 comes in sizes 1, 2 and 1/0 while 1/16 comes in sizes 1 & 2. Any help would be appreciated

    First ever Mowie at Kiama

    Went to Kiama over the Christmas period and had some time to go fishing. Headed out one morning with some banana prawns from woolies. 50% off as well because they were closed the next day. Ended up getting 500g for $5.

    The waves were pretty tame for the rocks so I chucked out a piece unweighted, not 5 minutes later i had a decent size wrasse so chucked that in my keepr net.

    Fished for another 30mins without a bite. Then out of nowhere I felt a tap tap and a great tug. My drag started screaming and my poor rod was bent like i had never seen before. 2 minutes later i managed to get it at my feet when disaster struck! There was no more fight but instead I was snagged. The fish had run into the rocks and weed. 5 minutes of free spooling saw no improvement. I was about to cut my loses when suddenly the line started moving again. Dragged the fish to the surface and realised I had forgot my keeper net at home and it was not looking good with the frayed line. Another nerve wracking several seconds later a wave came in just enough that i could drag it to my feet. I was pretty much shaking from that encounter.The fish measured up to be about 39cm and 1.3kg. There was what seemed to be a old injury from an encounter with a spear on its dorsal fin. Could not have been better timing with my parents calling me home for breakfast right after. There was quiet a feast that night.post-34401-0-41113100-1419590121_thumb.jpg

    Sunken Vessel at Canada Bay and first time with Soft Plastics

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted · Edited by fishywang34

    I' haven't been there, but I have word the mouth of the canal in Exile Bay is a great training ground.

    yeah it definitely is. I worked my way around canada and exile. Can't speak highly enough of it as a training ground.Quiet a battles were fought a metre away from where i was standing. I can now slowly hone my sp technique.

    And no ones mentioned the boat? I reckon they could untie the rope off the rock, I don't think it's doing anything!

    yeah definitely not. The picture was taken at high tide as well

    Well done mate. It is a great spot to fish.

    I remember my first bream on fly down there, I had a Kmart jobby and a guy fishing gave me a fly he tied for the spot.

    It worked.

    I stopped in a couple of weeks ago to wash weed, and spooked a couple of flatties right up in the shallows.

    There are some massive lizards and stonker bream in the shallows. It was a shame the canals weren't firing.

    TOP effort. It is a great place to use lures and you are right it is a good place for beginners. Also experts.

    I bet you went and bought a few Zman lures that day.

    Fisherman are a good bunch of guys. Why do`s the government want to make it difficult for us.

    Those making the rules never have fished.

    Funnily enough I headed straight to the tackle store and bought 2 packets of grubz and 2 packets of jigheads.

    Anyways, I went to canada bay since it was my first time fishing SP and heard that it was a great place for beginners. Met a guy who gave me a zman grub and jighead cause i was using a 5 year old powerbait that was left in my tackle box. Ended up with 3 flathead ranging from 30-35cm and a small bream. Not bad considering I was expecting a doughnut given my inexperience with SP's.
