Just escaped Sydney and made the move to the Port and looking for any advice on where to fish. Have caught a few flatties of lighthouse beach but that's about it. I wont have my boat for a few months so looking for some land based spots as well. The breakwall looks good but seems to have a pretty fast flow. Lake Cathie looks good but I think its closed to the ocean at the moment and assume this might affect things. Any advice or tips from fellow raiders would be great.

Does Lake Cathie only fish well when its open?

thanks for all your advice.

Hi guys, just hoping for a bit of wisdom from people who have owned boats longer than me. I am planning to be spending 4 days/3nights in Pittwater and am wondering whether its wise to leave my 5.4 metre quinntrex in the water for the whole time. Will there be problems without flushing the engine for 4 days and without any antifouling, what will the hull be like after that long. Any advice would be much appreciated.

thanks for the advice.

Hi all, I'm new to fishraider so I apologise if this has been covered before. I have recently got myself a boat and am able to get out more and have a fish. I have a good rod and reel combo for bigger fish such as kingys etc, but am after a good general purpose rod and reel for your bread and butter species like bream and flatties etc. I like the look of the shimano stadic 3000FK paired with maybe a Shimano Raider, pflueger trion or maybe an ugly stick Gx2. I want to be able to cast lures as well as a baited hook. I like the look of the raiders but I have a feeling the raiders are more purpose built for lures only and not so much bait fishing. In a perfect world i'd buy 3 rods. one for the big fish, one for bait fishing and another casting lures and SP. Be glad to have any advice from anyone who has this sort of combo before spending $400+
