Going over this thread. Lots of good advise. Wonder how the op went.
-
Sorry but what is considered big swell. I had a look at sea breeze but don't have a frame of reference.

Hi Rami,
Sounds to me your mainly getting your baits picked apart from smaller fish, down size the hook and see what happens, guarantee youll star hooking whatever they are.
Remember this,
"big hook catches big fish, but small hook catches all fish."
Just make sure to release any undersize and if they swallow the whole hook with the bait its better to cut the line as short as possible and leave the hook in there instead of trying to get it out which will probably cause more damage.
Well I used a smallish hook. Will go even smaller.
-
Also, Rami, where in Sydney do you normally fish bud?
Well. Sometimes in the harbour off a mates boat. Or Cowan creek off the apple tree boat ramp. I don't know many locations unfortunately.

How far do you cast upstream?
-
It does. Thanks.
-
I've tried yelling at the fish to jump on my line! It's never worked though
I've even begged and pleaded but still no result! Cheers scratchie!!!
I tend to swear at them, doesn't work either. [emoji34]

Look up fishing vids on YouTube for new techniques?
-
I tried the unweighted method a couple of times but the current just takes the bait to the end of the earth. Should I close the bail once I cast?

2-5 kg rod with 8 pound braid. And 2500 reel. I feel bites fine but can't manage to hook the fish.

there are you tube tut's on how to set drag correctly, but ive never set them like this, I just make judgement on the situation I am in like fab1 said. If your only fishing for bream and flathead landbased you wouldnt need much drag unless it is really snaggy where you fish.
You mentioned your gear is heavy, what line rating are you using and what rod and reel??
15 pound mono.
Fin nor 4500
Shimano 1 piece 8-10 kilo rod.
I have a much lighter combo I am using to learn soft plastics.

How to work out drag tension?
-
Well I was looking for bream and flat head. It is very likely that drag was set incorrectly. Ie. I have no idea how to set drag. My only measure is set it a little under line strength. And I am using relatively heavy line.Is your drag set correctly? What fish are you trying to target?
Ps, I was land based at the time.

When do you strike?
During the weekend I went for a couple of hours fishing at Spencer while the family was asleep. The fish were there but kept stealing the bait. Now, when should I strike? When I first feel a nibble? When I feel 100% a fish is on the line? When I get a strong down? Not exactly sure.
What hook types ( and sizes ) do you use in what situation?
There are so many different hooks when you go to bcf. I normally use long shanks. But am wondering if I should work out what else to use and how to use them. Point me in the right direction please.
I see people some times prop their rods in the rod holders and wait. All I get when I try that is stolen bait. What am it doing wrong.

good luck mate. Let us know how you go. Congrats.Having a baby hopefully as today is Due day... I'm not allowed more than 30 mins from home and certainly not allowed on a boat until she's born. That means no fishing for me!!!
Good luck if you head out. Keep an eye on that weather!!!
-
Good on you mate.
-
A few more photos to come I think.
-
I may need to go to a desktop to have a look. Tapatalk does not show polls.

Man, asking "how do you use a sounder?" is like asking "whats the meaning of life". There are so many different brands, variations, features... too much to cover unless you're planning on reading a a university thesis.
You need to be more detailed in questions like this, ask exactly what you need to know and provide all the information you can.
Fair enough. To be honest I don't even know the basics. I will pull up the brand model and look for the Manual.
-
Fair enough. It's on a mates boat. But I go fishing with him a lot. Trying to work out how to find the bloody fish.
-
Simple question, how to use one. What are the available resources. Same for fish finders.
-
Was there just now
. You had better luck than I did. -
Was thinking of going fishing early today throwing soft plastics around. Looked at the weather site, yep 70% chance of rain. Wake up this morning to sunny weather.
Too late to go out.
-
Thinking of going but unsure of the weather at the moment.
I've even begged and pleaded but still no result! 
. You had better luck than I did.

You are the forth person (including me ) that did not sleep well last night. Weird. At least you had a more productive time than I did. Good job
