bitten off straight through my leader! the reel screamed for about 30 seconds and soon as I tighten the drag a tad its was gone ?

thanks again mate, alright I might try near the bommie or if we go botany will try the oil whalf, got busted off there last weekend on pillie cubes.

thanks for your reply mate, I got a quintrex 420 getaway. yeah I have been right up near jibbon the first couple times I took it out, was nice conditions then the wind hit and had to head back in straight away. is jibbon bommie the waves near the point there?

hey raiders finally got my new boat and have been out and about Botany Bay the past month or so without much luck. I'm looking at targeting snapper with the restriction of not being able to get outside the heads anywhere unless it's perfect conditions. im looking for somewhere else to take the boat out to find my snapper dinner tomorrow night ? any tips/tricks wild be greatly appreciated thanks.

Hi all. Been flicking through this forum for a couple weeks now and decided to sign up today! I'm about a month or 2 into fishing and I can't get enough of it. I already have 3 rods lol. I've been trying to find a few land based areas south of Sydney with not much luck due to lack of knowledge. I am teaching myself with rods/reels/main lines/leaders ect through this site alone, I have actually managed to catch some fish of late (mostly flathead biggest measuring 69cm using prawns as bait which I cooked on the webber this weekend while camping in Umina. I'll leave it at that, great site with lots of great advice and info!! Cheers.
