  1. They do have good looking white flesh, just tough and tasteless, for that price I'll stick with steak
  2. the closest lure I can find is the daiwa presso but the colour is wrong
  3. South west rocks would be your best option It covers what you're looking for, makerel aren't a viable target in October
  4. I remember when the left hand wind became a thing, I remember it being preached as the only way yo fish, I tried but could never master it, as you know @big Neil I still manage to catch fish with the old faithful right hand wind
  5. The spoons will catch taIlor and salmon and they work really well on rainbow trout
  6. Thankyou for your post Ash Very sorry ti hear about Bruce, he will be missed on fishraider
  7. The predators will sit on the edge of the light, I've caught plenty of quality fish on soft plastics at night
  8. Look for lights on the water, the bait generally congregate around lit up areas
  9. I agree on the Timmy turtle, definitely lost ot for me There's a few youtubers I watch regularly Andy's fishing, Sammy hitzke are the main 2 Occasionally I watch Luiben Pffeifer and Hawksey but they can get a little repetative
  10. Hey Neil I took a 2.3m rod tube with virgin last year going to Darwin There's a well reputed fishing guide in Rocky, I'll look his name up for you Self guided jump on google and find some river access areas, I believe Rocky has some good landbased options
  11. Nice cod mate I'm prepping to hit the rivers for one last cod session before season end
  12. The GT Amy landed in my most recent report was on a 1000 size spin reel with 6lb braid
  13. We let most of our fish go, occasionally we keep a couple of flathead for the table
  14. Amy and I managed a session on the Nambucca, we hadn't fished up there for awhile so we were pretty excited. The aim of the day variety hoping for trevs. Wasted no time getting into it Amy got the session going with a couple of small big-eye trevs and flathead, the fishing wasn't redhot but enough action to kerp us confidant, after loads of misses I finally pinned a decent fish which turned into a nice big-eye moving upriver we worked the runout tide plenty of small fish landed mostly bream, again I hooked into something solid called it for a trev at first I was surprised to see a good tailor Have never seen a tailor so far up river, not long after I hooked another which chewed me off. The session continued about the same with small bream until I finally landed a decent speci Through that section of river we spotted a few quality river GTs, it took awhile but on a rockbar Amy managed to hook into one, no easy task on a 1-3kg rod with 6lb braid but after a couple of serious runs she manged to steer the fish into the net, Did I say Amy was impressed with herself, I definitely am. Went 49cm, a cracker for the river The rest of the session ended with plenty of flathead and smaller bream, Amy easily won the day on quality and quantity Turned out to be a great session with multiple species, the exact reason we hit the Nambucca A video of the session Cheers for reading Dave

    Where to sell?

    I sold my old boat on facebook, it was gone within 2 days
  16. most areas hold bream, around wharves, jetties and bridges cast up against the pylons and sink your lure down along them bream will most often pick it up on the drop. Bream are a lot more fickle than flathead so you need to make sure your lure sinks nice and naturally on slack line, and subtle twitches of the lure when working it I use zman 2.5 inch grubz and slim swimz in bloodworm and greasy prawn, scents like sfactor definitely make a difference , my main jighead is a 1/16th oz #2 HD but I range between a 1/12th to a 1/20th depending on the depth current and wind, you can go heavier that's just my preference. A long light leader is a must for urban bream you can usually get away with 8lb but 6lb is better it can just get nerve racking with a solid fish
  17. The physical weight of the rod will depend on the blank material and type of graphite plus the handles etc.. Some of the higher end graphite rods are incredibly light for their line class
  18. I tail grab them and keep a good grip They're not too bad to handle in a yak just be mindful of potential for flying hooks etc.. and exposed sensitive body parts
  19. I've caught mack tuna and bonito out of my kayak in the river Caught on metal slugs Can't give you specifics around Sydney but our tuna run on the mid north coast is usually April-May they come into the larger estuarys on the run in tide I know plenty get caught in Sydney harbour The only issue I've had with tuna in the yak is they go crazy when landed
  20. Definitely a bass, cracking fish regardless
  21. They won't let you tske fishing line with carry on Apparently it's a potential weapon
  22. Nice, Stewy is doing well with his lure making I still reckon you both should have jumped in🥶
