    Nice catch! Something my local tackle shop owner told me is that filleting your fish while at the rocks can be risky, cause if a fishing inspector comes there is no way to measure your catch which could result in a fine.

    Nice eating fish imo, but a bit of a pain to remove the gills.

    This iso setup is also called free float fishing and yes the cost of the float is expensive. one other advantage of this setup is that you have no stopper knot, which means you dont have to worry about setting the bait to the right depth. It cant be used in all conditions but is very effective in the right conditions as I have been out fished by my friend this way when i used a traditional iso float setup with a stopper knot.

    Haven't bought a yak yet, still working on selling the old van and buying a second Haven't bought a kayak yet. still looking into sell the old van and buying a second hand car! Sounds like the NKL is the way to go for any high vehicle! Will make that decision once I'm closer to really buying one, which is still months away unfortunately.

    Yes I work with Richard. Still haven't got a kayak yet, need to purchase a suitable vehicle first and prob get an outback with reverse 180. I can see why clontarf is a great place to launch kayaks, its flat and easy. Don't know if anyone has pointed out that there is actually is a vending machine there that sells bait and tackle?

    Are you the same Angela that I fished with you and your friend Richard at North Curly last year? We ran into a celeb fisho (Alex B.) at the time? Brad

    Interesting option you have pointed out. Can you share any photos or links?

    Thanks for responding guys, from what I have read a lower car is definitely better and something with easy access to the boot to store the other gear. Time to start the car hunt!

    Hi guys, I have to buy a second hand car soon and I'm also intending to buy a hobie outback as well. wondering what vehicle you currently use and or what your recommended vehicle would be? ideally a 4 door vehicle is preferred as I need to transport 2 kids occasionally to school for drop offs and pickups. my initial budget would be something under 15k. thanks Brad

    Well done, great catch! I could be wrong but I think you may have caught tarwhine as well

    I am back from port Stephens as I can vouch it's been tough fishing there last week. Morning sessions were really very very lean, the afternoon sessions were slightly better. i also saw prob the same large bream at the breakwall, they didn't want any of my prawns or burley. All I caught there was lots of sweep and bulleyes. think November has gotta be the toughest season for land based fishing also a big thanks scratchie for recommending some fishing spots.

    Laddercat you're a wealth of knowledge, I have been iso fishing for drummer twice now and still learning so much. I've been given advice from other guys but what you have summarised so far makes total sense. My drag was not set right and the drummer would peel my line and dive under a ledge. Something no one I have fished with has so far mentioned to me. So thanks for your tips. I am still on my quest to land my first drummer and after reading your post I think I will have a slight better chance. Thanks

    Went into BCF today and the sales person said that from the 1st July PFDs will be compulsory for rock fishing. Can anyone confirm this?

    I would love to but I gotta work. Heard there is salmon at the beach, good luck!

    Didn't have much luck on Saturday probably because the weather was wet and wild on the weekend. Another problem I had was the the current kept dragging the float inwards and all the small bream were taking my bait. Might try again this long weekend, Gordo when are you heading out there next maybe we can meet up?

    Try twenty years mate! Only started to get back into it this year and so much has changed! - Flurocarbon - braid - poppers - soft plastics - reel sizes X000 - all these new knots to join mono/braid/fluro - fluro beads - electric reels - kayaks - gps smart electric motors - graphite rods - iso fishing how could i have forgotten to add this - fishing licence

    Excellent reading so far. I am also interested in getting a Kayak and will probably do this when the weather warms up a bit (yes I'm a scaredy cat when it gets cold). Budzsta let us know how you go.

    Nice catch! Just wondering is it safe to eat fish caught west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge? I guess moderation is the key. http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/fishing-skills/fishing-in-sydney-harbour

    Hi Gordo, Just wondering which side of the Roseville Bridge, Babbage Road or the Boat ramp side? I've also been frustrated trying to catch mullet so I will definitely give this a go. Thanks for the tips.
