Regardless of what happens when you are on the water, it will always be better than working.

You and me both 4myson.
Well done Penguin!!!

The one tip that keeps getting repeated to me is "Berley HARD in the hacking".
Can't say its worked for me yet, but I'll persist until something happens.
Drift sand flats off Bundeena for flathead.
Deep hole in lilly pilly near the moorings for occasional kings.
Gymea Bay has occasional kings caught on downriggers
Practically none of those places have worked for me though - still trying to figure it all out.
I agree completely!
Where are you going to be looking for squid if you dont mind me asking? I suggest close to the lilli pilli point reserve if you havent already tried.

Thanks guys!
Its good to hear of a few ways in which people maintain their boats and motors.
Im very cautious when it comes to these things. At least now i know i dont have to drain half a tank of fuel giving the motor a flush.
However i will miss smoking out the neighbours!

Well done mate, great report and some great fish!
Im still trying to crack the bass code myself and it good to see people catching them!
Cheers,
Paul.

Hey Raiders,
Curious to see if anybody has and boat and motor cleaning tips or tricks that they would like to share?
I’ve seen a lot of stuff on the market, just wondering if it works or if it’s all gimmicks and any standard procedures that you guys may or may not use?
Cheers,
Paul.

Well done on the maiden voyage. Must have been all the more sweeter after all the crap you had to put up with to get boat in the
first place.
It sure was! I was just stoked to be out there!
-
hahahaha! oh yeah! it always seems to be the most expensive lures that tend to fly away.
-
Yes sorry paul. Took the thread sidewards a bit... congrats on getting out and im very jealous of the boat
Amkr, would you salt them, maybe even just as fresh slabs
Thanks Krause, im glad it all worked out! That boat was a pain in the beginning!
More fishing to come!
-
Nice report Paul and well done on the driving skills and catching a few.
Thanks Big Neil,
Hopefully have a lot more to report in the coming weeks!

The place went dead around 1:00 anyway, the wind was ridiculous.. We spent most of the arvo trying to find bays to shelter in from the wind.
Once the sweep arrive, all you end up doing is feeding them.
I'm hoping the forcast improves for the weekend too, I'll be out in the hacking chasing squid
Let me know how you go, I want to chase a few squid, would be great to get a few tips!

Those little things in the water that you thought may have been LeatherJackets.
I can almost guarantee they are sweep. They seem to show up in plague proportions randomly in the hacking, last 2 outings I've come across them! tiny little mouths and will absolutely smash anything that floats near it.. Including cheese and bacon rolls. I caught one on a tiny hook and a bit of cheese and bacon roll just so I could see what they were
Sounds like a good day out though, bit of activity and a variety of fish!
I was out in the hacking on Saturday too - you did better than we did!
They definitely could have been sweep! I wish i could have caught one to confirm.
I was hoping to do better, be out for longer and go out around jibbon head but had to pack up by lunch.
Hopefully this weekend its a better day.
Cheers,
Paul.

hi, raiders,
its been a while to get around to posting this but earlier this month we went fishing on kayaks around scotland island. it was a rising tide when we got there and it was pretty quiet, so i started burleying up with pillie chunks, we waited for a while and right on high tide we spotted kings down our burley trail.it wasnt long before one of our reels was screaming the fish was fought for about 1min and then pop it was off. it cut the line on some structure as the setup didnt have enough stopping power (2-4kg rod, 8lb line). then my rod went of (using same bait) i thought it was a king at first then finally it jumped a few times, i knew it was a salmon. just landed it as the hook came out, it was my first decent salmon around 45-50cm, i didnt measure it, then we finished offthe day with a small stingray, overall it was a fun day, im spewing we didnt land that king it would have been a first!
Great report mate!
Bad luck about the King, Congrats on salmon!
I have heard the fishing is getting good around that way.
Well done and i hope more good fishing is to come.
Cheers,
Paul.

Hi Raiders,
On Saturday we finally had a chance to take the boat out. I had wanted to go to botany as I am fairly familiar with the location but the missus and I opted to try out the hacking after reading a few reports.
We launched at Grays point a bit later to avoid the conjunction and potential embarrassment of reversing a boat at the ramp for the first time. To my dismay, I actually nailed it parking and all.
The boat fired up first pull with a little help from his mate Mr. Choke and we were off! The area is beautiful and we saw a lot of activity on the surface from what I believed to be either salmon or tailor just out of the wash zone. We had a few cast but nothing, so we decided to trawl a metal a little closer to the rocks. The missus hooked up but came off a few times so we decided to move on.
The next spot we went to was a channel, we opted to throw out some prawns and drift to see what we could come up with. I got smashed by what I presumed to be a monster however once on the surface I realised it was only a Pinky. The fish was over the 20cm mark but we threw it back hoping for bigger ones.
After another half hour or so we packed up and headed for shallow water in hopes for a few flatties. I prefer using SP’s and since I had made my quota on bait I decided to switch it up. The missus continued to get slayed by pinky’s catching at least another 5-10 at this spot. I was using pumpkinseed swimming mullet’s as these have proven quite effective for me and before long I had hooked up. No matter what I did I couldn’t keep the damn things on, fish after fish after fish.
We packed it up yet again and headed closer to Lilly Pilly. I chose a bigger and heavier SP as the water was a bit deeper and I could see a lot of movement on the bottom. Every time I jigged it back what looked like leather jackets were chasing it all the way to the surface, I just couldn’t get on!
Kat had out fished me again, hooking up a legal flounder so I opted for the oldfaithful pumpkinseed. A few cast later I was on and something had taken it all the way to the top it was almost like I was fishing poppers. I get it in the boat and it had confused me, I thought it was a decent size whiting but it turned out it wasn’t. I believe it may have been either a sea pike or a yellow tail barracuda and the reason for the glove is not that I am channeling the king of pop but because I am quite heavy handed when it comes to small slimy fish.
While still anchored up, a very silent maritime officer had made his way over to us and given us a spooking! He failed us on not having a few items but had given us the benefit of the doubt and was nice enough to let it slide (We have now amended this).
All in all it was a great first day of many to be had out on the water and we can’t wait for the next one!!!
Cheers,
Paul.

Great read!
The best part about catching nothing on lures the first time is the excitment you will get when you do hook up!!
Well done!
