Sorry to say but this post made me feel good and relieved that I wasn't the most unlucky out there. But better luck next time !!!

nice fish. what rig?

from where im at. 0wind. not even a breeze right now

would this sunday be alright

ive heard theres alot of ppl targeting hairtail of the wharf from mosman

dumb question. but where do you buy chook pellets. im in sydney and so far havent seen any places that sell it. and also whats its price?

Another place is Salmon Haul reserve and Hungry point, A few ppl squid there every day, you can see it on google maps

For trout fishing, what other methods can you use besides fly fishing? Thanks

Try rock groynes off Dollspoint, get some large trevs, tailor and flathead/ bream there. Just fish with 6-10 lb and 6lb flurocarbon running sinker

How deep are you supposed to set the float for fishing for tailor?

Heard people using simple rigs of just a running ball sinker to swivel. and 50pound leader to hook. This is because of their environment they live in which will snag you alot. Groupers will eat anything and last time i dived, Saw a 5kg Male (blue ) eating a whole handful of green algae weed so that could work also

pretty sure scotty lyons had a video on youtube where he stayed on a houseboat in the hawkseburies

Anyone know if the blackfish/ luderick have migrated into Georges River yet? Like places such as Lamberth Park? Thankyou

Peeled prawns/ squid. Most baits should work. What i have caught on float are mostly bread and butter species: bream/ leatherjackets/ taylor/ trevally/ whiting/ Mullet/ Blackfish/ drummer. Some areas work better with different baits when using floats (probably for any rig). For example, when i used to fish salt pan creek for fun, nothing went for peeled prawns on a float. But you could easily bag out on bream/ blackfish in a few hours using bread although the fish was released because of pollution.

Would flies still be fine with a normal luderick rig? Thanks

Just wondering. When using weed flies i need to burley still or not? And cant they tell its fake by smell. Thanks

i think they move upstream in winter. They arent at upstream places like georges in summer at least for me but can get alot in winter

those leathers look huge

Dolls point Groynes, holds quite a few, and most are in the 40cm + range

awesome day. can you post a pic on what your berley pot looks like tho haha. seems very efficient

hi, nice catch, i wad wondering where abouts on bare island you fish for blackfish. i got donuts last time i went

apparently the catfish js supposed to taste nice after doing some research on the species, but it doesnt seem appealing haha

honestly, i didn't think any species of catfish were saltwater haha

School tests over, number one thing u do... fish. Arrived at Brighton in the early morning (5am) to fish to outgoing tide with a mate using nippers we had pumped the day before. Tide was still high and couldn't really fish the spot we wanted to. First cast in, yabby falls off. Second cast and the yabby managed to stay on. A few minutes later, i couldn't resist the urge to check if the bait was still there, pulling it in, i thought i got snagged as there was a huge dead weight on it. As i stopped pulling, i realised that my drag was still getting pulled, omg a big fish i thought. A few minutes later, and the fish was near getting beached, thinking it was a large flathead at first, i was disappointed to see a catfish, which i had never caught before. Released it at 50cm. A couple hours of messing about, as my friend left something and had to go home quick before returning, i decided to fish seriously. Being able to reach the normal fishing spot, we headed there. Splashes were everywhere and there were about 50 birds all diving in the water about 20m from us, which we reckoned a huge schools of tailor was there. Every cast he did with a plastic had a run but most of times, they busted him off using 4 pound line. He ended up getting a couple all over 30cm. Using a float rig with a live yabby drifting, i produced a few but they were all undersized :/ . Suddenly he was hooked onto something again, and requested me to net the fish as it seemed bigger then the ones before. A 37cm silver trevally, which he kept for berley (he hates the taste for some reason). After getting busted of a few times on my float rig by the trevally that were around, i changed to a simple running sinker rig that went down to hook, to make re rigging up faster. 3 more trevally at 30-35cm were hooked like this. A flatty estimated at 60cm was also hooked, but lifting the head above the water for just 2 seconds, resulted in him spitting the hook and it swam away . Too keep it short: 6 trevally were bagged with 1 at 30cm, and other 5 between 34-40 3 flatheads bagged all between 45-50cm A couple tailor over 30cm Just a photo of some the catch and the weird catfish

Hi guys i live in the georges river area, and i was wondering besides San souci and maianbar in the hacking, are there any other places to pump nippers? I read a lot of previous posts but these are the two only places mentioned, thanks
