I am not sure about me repairing OK. That may be the subject of some conjecture. Roberta is a lovely name. So it is a good idea to use it as much as possible. Arch

Thought this article might interest Ceph and the other squid nuts. I reckon we could get it on a downrigger around the marker bouys in the harbour. http://abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/07/11/...?section=justin Arch

careful, you may arouse the wrath of the salmon eating fraternity. I am thinking of joining them. As my brtoher cooked some up in a curry, and converted me. But nice observation on the grammer. Arch

I have been landing good size salmon on fresh squid since the beginning of last summer. They just do not want to go home, little champs. Arch

Mother Inlaw Fish Become A Delicious Meal

Throw the cuttle on a big hook live. bring on the king of all kings. That thing is massive, you would have to watch your waist line if you kept eating them yourself. -
I am voting for Boofhead. To be the official Fishrader translater. Sparks

Congrats on landing a good feed. I have always wondered why council will not invest in the proper infrastructure around boat ramps. Longreef is a perfect example. There are some well laid out ramps, with excellent facilities around sydney. But there are a lot that could do with much more thought, and resourcing. welcome to fishraider. Arch

Awsome, If I landed that. I would put that bloke who kisses fish to shame. Put it this way, the rspca would be called. That is a fantastic effort in every sense, and I am glad everybody seems to agree with me. Arch

Good stuff Pete, can't wait to hear the stories. Arch

I hope you are not talking about the Yaks.... Dan. Nice catch, and a rig that looks better than my company car.

I would not mind hearing some good ideas on crabbing as well. But I live in sydney. I'll use the search feature, but they they are too good eating to not talk about. I used to get them in rose bay with my dad, on the sand flats. When i was only a wee lad. And a few would be around in the moorings near the police station. Any suggestions on baits, times etc? Arch

Looks good enough to waterski on...

Nice feed there Rode, well done mate sparkles

pete, you are like a an old mother, watching her children grow. you will have to start feeding those cute little tailer so they grow a little bit. THEN WE CAN SMASH EM.

Sounds nice, so what time is dinner?

good stuff mate, i will give it a go next time i am off the rocks arch

Arif, I agree whole heartedly. Fishing with mince is the go for yakka's. And as ross said lower your baits in rather than cast them. keep pressure on the line as the small hook can be spat easily. If you can see them hit the bait you are laughing. But do not go and bye "mints" instead of mince meat, as my country cousin once did, after i sent him to get bait. he has spent the last 10 years trying to land a fish on XXXbreath mints. funny stuff happens when you fish.

Hey mate. I get my servo bait from that caltex or the servo at north rosebay. otherwise I would get some decent dtuff from down at matraville. But I live in the area. Or berlie up some live yakka's at rose bay wharf, or get some jig's on and get into some live squid at the same spot under lights. Craps on servo bait anyday, and 50 times on a monday. good luck

Top report Mondo. I didn't need the pics, It was all in my mind. What size sinkers were you using. Only small ball sinkers I am imagining, to try and keep the bait in the wash? Well done. Arch
-
great story Ross. nice read
-
welcome to the site lads. There is some excellent fishing to be done off the cliffs between south head and bondi. Float out some baits. fish heavy and burly always helps. but it claims a lot of people that area. even some friends of mine. so do be careful. good luck, and i can't wait to see some monsters being dragged to the top.

I remember when i was a kid ( 31 now) this bloke used to walk up and down the street selling blackfish he'd caught down the maddens (of the rocks at dover heights) 2 bucks a fish and he would always have a fair few. obviously not legal, and a million other things wrong with that. but my old man used to bye a few off him, and they were great. he was nuts as far as i am concerned for climbing down there. least we could do is pay him for his suicidal tendencies.

fair point Netic. I am to ugly to bother though. i suppose if people want info, they should give as much as they need to in the thread.
