Hi raiders so I'm planning a trip up to Bennetts beach next weekend with a mate, I'm wondering if anyone with local knowledge could help me or any locals could advise as how the fishing has been recently. Firstly I have searched threw threads here and get a lot of mixed opinions, information and advice on the threads I have read, I'm personally after mulloway myself, I'm not asking for any spots or locations just wondering are there many mulloway to be caught up there? And if so what are best techniques? I plan on catching a few squid later in the week and freezing them and also trying to get some yakkas on the day and keep them live for the night time. Where in the area is best to try gather yakkas as I'm Sydney based and don't know the area? Any help or pointers would be a great help. Also is there many Taylor To be got from the beach as I would settle for live Taylor if I couldn't get yakkas. Basically I want to get some livies out and am not sure as to where to get them. Feel free to pm me any advice and don't be shy commenting ๐. Thanks a lot in advance for anyone who can offer any advice, Tight lines ๐ค๐ค

It does seem to good to be true boat on first glance seems to be ok and integrally ok and yes he said the Motor worth 4K new. I'm not sure what the catch is. The story is I pass the boat couple times a week parked outside a house and one day I seen old mate in the garden and popped in asking would he sell it or even take me out fishing๐๐ maybe 6 months later he messaged saying he wants it all gone 2k regards sean

I'm not 100% on the boat make but it's a 14ft ally it will come on a trailer and with a 40hp Suzuki. Engine is clean looking from outside and a lowrance sounder didn't ask the model of sounder he's looking 2k for it, reason for getting rid of it is two grandsons in the last while and hasn't the same time to use it and has caught people trying to steal the motor and battery etc and he just wants rid of it

Hi raiders so I'm getting myself my first boat this weekend and I have just a few questions. Long story short I'm getting a little 14ft boat and engine and trailer. What questions should I be asking the guy I'm buying from? And what should I be looking for defect/damage wise? He seems like a legitimate guy and genuine, I have no reason to doubt him but I want to be put in the right direction as to not buy something that I might regret. I'm assuming I should be asking if boat has ever been damaged or repaired, if the engine has ever giving bother but what are the do's and donts when buying a boat? All help and advice will be greatly appreciated. Regards sean.

Fair play mate you could have stayed home feeling sorry for yourself but got back out there and got the rod back. Bet that beer tasted all the better after ๐

Cheers bear thanks for the advice

So I'm running a daiwa bg 8000 with 80lb braid, 60 leader and my slider rig with 80lb mono. The slider caught itself up maybe 15 meters out so I honestly don't think it had a chance to reef me off the rocks, plus I was over heavy kelp so Another reason I don't think I got reefed.

I'm assuming your on a boat with that setup mate I unfortunately have nowhere to keep a boat or I would have one. I'm usually on rock ledges/platforms so landing kings just isn't as easy. I know the back feeling ๐ Have had a few rough rays or at least I think they were rays (take a big run and stop dead for a minute can't budge em and run again) but to be honest your right I don't even want to try land a shark from the rocks and don't want cut leader and leave hooks in them even tho that's what just has to happen sometimes
