Hi, has anyone had success with using a float at night with a glowstick attached to it? Im thinking of using it but people have told me its usually more for small bait fish. I want to try it out but im not after small fish.

Went out fishing landbased at the Georges this morning. The current was insane! Packed up after 1 hour. Only managed to hook 1 decent bream (C&A) and that was it for the day. Also got snagged 3 times. The end.

Congrats mate!

Ive fished fitzpatrick park many times. Its not too bad at times but Im not a fan of the thick seaweed that is clumped along the banks of fitzpatrick Nearly every time you reel your line the weed seems to smother your tackle.

Trust me I am! hahaha No probs.. ill invest in a bait trap.

Update: Just came back from Chippo with a few nibbles here and there on chicken breast. No fish landed fish landed though. As for flicking with the SP not a single nibble. Ah well, all in good fun. Cheers mate. I think ill stick with catching mullet for bait early in the morning and sending them out at night. I recently purchased an aerator so hopefully they make it through the night. Catching mullet was pretty difficult though. I was using a small hook with flour and bread crumbs mixed up for bait. They just seem to swim up to it nab at it for a second then leave or sometimes not even touch it. They seem to enjoy attacking the float more since it had a white base lol. The only way I could get them to actually take a decent bite at it is if i sort of slow reeled the line in and make them chase it. I spoke to a guy there and he told me that its because the dough is too hard and balled up? The mullets prefer to take it if you sort of fray the dough in strands so that its easier for them to take? Who knows. At this point, I gave up. Pretty happy with the tailor so yeah. Cheers buddy. Watched a couple of videos. Very useful. Thanks man

Thanks mate, much appreciated. Ill think ill stay away from deepwater park lol Ive tried revesby beach. Heaps of success in that particular spot pretty much plenty of undersized breams and the odd occasional flathead. Off to chippo I go. Im going to try flick some plastics since i have no bait I have had absolute zero success when flicking plastics but who knows. Ill keep you guys updated. BTW GO THE BLUE AND WHITE ARMY!!!!!

Cheers mate. Will do

Hey guys, was fishing picnic point land based in the early morning, saw a school of mullet swimming infront of me so i decided to rig up a float. I manage to land 1 then off it went out on the bigger rod in hope for my 1st jewfish, but instead landed a 36cm tailor which is the biggest tailor ive landed in picnic point (C&R). Mind you this is the first time ive ever caught a livie and sent it out as bait, so im pretty stoked that i landed something decent on it. Just wondering have any of you guys landed a jewfish or fished from a land based in the picnic point area /lambeth/fitzpatrick/kelso etc and how did you guys go ? Ive been basing my fishing there lately as its close by. All fish are C&R as I dont eat fish. I just like fishing haha.
