  1. Remember that if rockfishing in Randwick LGA you must wear an appropirate lifejacket or risk a $100 fine. ALWAYS wear appropriate clothing and cleats or equivalent.
  2. I think the medium's are what I started my missus on before I let her use the 'good' floats my dad made. Pretty sure she outfished me that day . . . . like waza said, just weight em right.
  3. Jamo, you can always 'plumb' the depth. Add an extra sinker eg barrel to your line using an o ring. This will cause your float to sink completely and show you the depth, then move your float up a 2-3 feet and it's a good depth to start. Remember to try different depths as well. cheers, stu.
  4. Congrats on the Blackie PB!
  5. I have my floats pre balanced to a barrel sinker, only need 1 split shot if at all.
  6. That Alvey Blackfish reel is a good choice to match the rod you linked. Happy birthday!
  7. North Haven/Dunbogan is a great part of the world! Did you see anyone fishing for Blackfish?

    A few snaps

    Great photos, as always JonD!
  9. Good onya for taking out your mum!
  10. Nice work Ryder. Glad recovery from hernia's are progressing sufficiently to allow fishing!
  11. Your catch will be much improved with burley, so you'll probably still need weed
  12. Blackfish are definitely a year round prospect! Often people only fish for them in winter as a lot of other fish shut down somewhat in the colder weather.
  13. Thanks for that Jon. A mate bought some 'fleece' kayaking pants to try. I might wait out my decision and see how he goes . . .
  14. Thanks for all the feedback guys, much appreciated! 🤗
  15. Cheers for the advice GH!
  16. Keep warm is the main criteria, thanks Noel
  17. Hi guys, I'm looking at getting a wetsuit for my Sydney Winter rockfishing and wondering if anyone can give me some recommendations... Would a 'springsuit' do the job? Should I get a 3, 4 or 5 mm? Should I get (just) pants, a farmer John or full suit? Not looking to spend a fortune, however would appreciate advice from anyone currently using a wetty. cheers, stu.

    If lightning strike is immediately followed by thunder, sounds like storm cell was right on top of you!😱
  19. You made the right choice heading out and giving the gear a run!
