    Well, over the last few weeks I felt like I really needed to lift my game in terms of what I can catch. So when Iceman asked for someone to go fishing I literally jumped to have a go.

    So on Saturday morning, we met up at Oakley ramp and off we went. He had a single look at my setup and offered me one of his rods. (Looks like my rod is too heavy for SP). One we got going over some weed we settled down to business. After going over the basics of SP, we got started. It didn't take long until we caught something. Ended up with a nice Travelly. I even managed to grab a couple :). Nothing compares to when that fish grabs the sp, I wasn't really convinced about its effectiveness but it not as hard as I thought it would be.

    We spend the rest of the day trying out different things. And iceman being patient with my 1001 questions ;) but I learned a lot I think. Thanks mate.

    Thanks tef1on. Well, I went again to Cowan creek last night and got a few small bream which went back in. And a nice flatty 38 40 cm which didn't :). I used the slow retrieval method for the flatty. The reason I wanted the overnight stay is that I read that Clifton wharf get full early and I wanted a spot. Trying to get the sunrise.

    Ps I have not been adopted as yet. But practicing as much as possible.

    Pss. Safety is always first. Which is why middle head appear to be out of the picture.

    For gods sake wear a life jacket!

    I was never in danger! I'm very familiar with the area and would not get into a situation over my head. I'm still angry it wrecked my afternoon though! :(

    Don't be too upset. You helped someone in need :). Maybe the powers that be will send you a couple extra fish for dinner ;).

    When fishing unweighted pilchards the bait kept getting cleaned off. I read that you need some slack to let it drift but I get the feel that I need a little tension to feel the bites. So wind it in a little? I am on 6lb line. There was no current off the warf. I was casting about 2 meters from the end of it. On the run out ride.

    Great Day

    My better half is due in 3 weeks. So I had a very long list of jobs etc to take care of unfortunately some of these jobs had me driving along general Holmes drive looking out at the bay with envy. My fishing will be greatly limited until the little man decides to join us.

    At least I have raider to get my fishing fix haha

    What gear are you using? If your going to chase kings your gear must be good and all knots, rigs, hooks all must be the strongest kings are know for smashing up you gear yes people catch the occasional king on a tiny hook or a handline but if your going to target them you need good gear. Try catch yourself some live bait yakkas and squid are the a best in the harbour slimies and cuttlefish are abit hard to get. I wouldn't target snapper there aren't many around of legal size in the harbour there are a few of the rocks but your better off chasing the easier bread and butter species first like bream, Trevally and salmon once you can them move onto to bigger and better things. For the bread and butter species use the lightest leader you can get away with a good starting point would be 6lb and move down to get more bites and go heavier if you getting busted off. When fishing a burly trail no weight is the best to make it look as natural as possible I hardly ever use weight when fishing a burly trail and if you need weight only use very little.

    Thanks mate for the above advise. I have a light graphite rod with a very thin line. And a trolling rod off the Aldi sale a few weeks back. I will get the specs and send out tonight.

    Hi raiders,

    After a couple of failed trips I decided to put more thought into my fishing. So I came up with a couple of points

    1. Book myself into a rock fishing guide so I know what the heck I am doing wrong :).

    2. Spend more time planning, where to go, when to go and what to use ( bait/ equipment).

    So I will be using this forum as a planning space :) for my next trip; hope I can make it work. Feel free to jump in with any view opinions you have. ( mods, let me know if there is a place more appropriate or if there is any issues with setting this up in general chat).

    Location: Cremorne point ( rocks on north side).

    Burly: minced pilchard. With whole pilchards unweighted. soft plastics.

    When: hopefully early on Saturday morning. Not sure what time to be there.

    Not sure what else I have to account for?

    Hit me with ideas.
