    Which areas do you propose on fishing mate? It's very difficult to just get one combo to do all the styles of fishing you have mentioned, the reel you have has 40lb braid - PE 4. Having used Jbraid I know it's very thin but casts well, I would run leaders anywhere from 60-100lb depending on locations for kings, any other species your consistently such as tailor, salmon, bonito etc your going to come across on the stones as mentioned above is overkill. Not sure if you have spent a day casting stickbaits and poppers all day off the stones but I can assure you it's hard work especially when the fish don't wanna play.

    Hi Tyrone07,

    I totally understand what you are saying. 

    I fish normally from the rock and I have already different rods. One, Shimano Sentire nano serie 10.60  kg4-8 weight lure 15gr to 65gr and a reel Shimano baitrunner 4000 with 15lb braid,I normally use for light lure or stickbait max 40/60gr and also coconut rig (small sinkers and bait that's it) which I love where I fish so this one it's perfect for many uses. I already catch bonito, Mack tuna, kings, salmon, tailor and a kg4.5 black cod all with this rod.

    anyway now I bought this reel and I'm looking for a new rod because I want start to use lure and so on a bit more heavy for bigger fish. Obviously I won't spend all day casting 120gr or more of lure but during the day change one rod with other one. 

    I was pretty sure that the Daiwa saltist 962 xhs was perfect and I'm still not understanding why is not the best match with that reel. Other think the Daiwa Demon Blood 962h is not a bit too light for what I'm looking for?

    thank you 

  2. thanks guy.

    im a bit surprised because no one said nothing about saltist hyper 962xhs, but all suggest me the demon blood.

    yes definitely I'm looking for big kingys but also all the big fish that I can catch using lure, metal lure, stickbait and so on.

    do you think the saltist hyper 962xhs is too heavy for this reel, I mean PE6?

    The demon blood PE2/4 is not too light for big fish?

  3. Hi fisher,

    I need your help again.

    I recently bought a Daiwa Saltist 5000 with Daiwa J8 braid 40lb multicolour, and I'm still looking for the right rod.

    I bought it because I want to use stickbait, metal lure and so on inshore for rock fishing.

    Someone suggest me the Daiwa Saltist 9f 6inch xhs spin rod MAX PE 6.

    Range of $350 max

    So my question is which one is the best match for this reel using this technique?

     

    Thanks I'm waiting for your suggestions experts fisher

    Hey mate,

    there are a few tricks, first, look for places that have a fair amount of artificial light at night. I personally find squid at night much easier than during the day, not sure why. 

    Secondly, you want to find places that have kelp beds, you can find these on google earth.

    finally, walk around the wharves and rocks pools and other walk ways and look for ink marks. If you don't know what they look like, walk down pier 2 and they're everywhere.

    How can I find kelp beds on google earth? 

  5. Morning everyone, 

    I know normally spot for fisher are "too secret " but maybe someone can help me.

    I live in Bondi junction and I'm looking for a close place where to catch squid. I'm sure there are plenty around between Darling point and Watson bay but i don't really know how I can recognise it.

    Someone can help me in This research? 

    Do you know some spot around Darling point and Watson bay?

     

    Thanks for your help 

  6. Hi guys,

    sorry if I replying only now but I have been in holiday.

    Anyway, the rod and the reel I found out are good for rock fishing specially using live bait, which was my mission ahahah.

    I was curious to know if I can use both on the beach but definitely I can't and I believe you all of you experience fishers. 

    So thanks for your help as always.....you are the best guys

    I will buy a rod and reel for beach fishing.

    Ciaoooo

     

  7. Sound I can't used it ......

    I was asking but fortunately I bought both for rock fishing with ballon and live bait.

    i was wondering if I could use it for beach too, but at this point I'm going to buy a spinning reeel.

    What about if I buy a spinning reel 8000/10000 and put on this rod? Should it work?

     

    Ok thanks 

  8. Hi fishos,

    as always I need your opinion and why not your help too.

    Recently I bought a Backbone elite 6/10kg 213cm and a Shimano TDL15.

    I would like to start to catch kings and so on....

    My question is: 

    Can I use this rod and reel for casting on the beach too? 

    Thank you 

    Andrea

  9. Hi guys, 

    i never catch drummer. I don't understand why all the people here say that drummer are lest for fisher targeting blackfish!

    Blackfish you can catch ONLYwhen tide coming up, and as all you guys are saying drummer in low tide.

    They normally live tougher, in fact, when you find blackfish you can find drummer ..... but it's not a rule!!!!!

    So, why people say they are pest when catch blackfish? It is contradictory.....

     

    ciaoooo

  10. Hi there,

    ​We are a group of three Spanish friends living in Sydney (Bondi/Coogee).

    ​We have been out rock fishing a handful of times in the Easter Suburbs with no luck! We have basic gear and not much knowledge so we understand there is a lot we need to improve first before we catch anything decent, but after watching a few videos we feel we need to go with someone experienced we can learn from and enjoy a nice, sunny Saturday morning!

    We have a car so we can easily drive up North or down South Sydney to good spots (which by the way we don't know many..).

    Is anyone keen to join us (or alternatively, happy for us to join you!) tomorrow morning or any other weekend?

    Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

    Steffen

  11. Hi fisher,

    I'm happy to report my first section fishing catching Luderick.

    Well I was quite impress about the result. I did a long research on google trying to understand which technique to use,which gear and where catch them.

    After almost 3 weeks I decided to go to, I will call my secret place, around Maroubra Ahahahah and I had a nice result.

    Was very windy and ruffy but them was so crazy to bait and many time jump off the water.

    In 3 hours I catch 5 fish keep home plus another 3 lost during a big wave that came on the rock pool where I putted all the fish![emoji30] anyway now I know Ahahah never more!!!!

    I'm very proud of me ahahhah

  12. Can you eat cuttlefish? :secret:

    Yes you can eat it.

    Just google it and you will find many recipes.

    Anyway clean as squid and cook at the same way! EAS

  13. Excellent catch, Andrea. No surprise that it went straight to the kitchen. I am always struggling to share the nice fresh squid with other fish as a bait.
