  5. most blackies are caught from concrete footpath  souther side of channel west of bridge..depending on how the channel is running sometimes the rock shelf south side near ocean run out tide..if they are there you will see others fishing....if in a boat there is acres of weedbeds to fish over..burley heavy and try string and cabbage..rick

  6. I keep mine in original bags...never store them on hooks as they will rust very quickly..and.i use an old portable dvd bag with multiple compartments and have them sorted by size.it zips up and is easy to carry..has side pockets for jig heads..easy..rick

  7. the old saying is true...you get what you pay for...I bought a DMK reel..cheap but I had to fully lubricate internals and grease drag properly...it works fine but doesn't have the nice solid feel of a better quality reel...it was bought as a spare for guests in the boat and doesn't get used a lot but does the job nicely...tip;be careful buying buyin reels and rods off the internet as they are usually lesser quality than they appear..rick

  8. from kiama to the front of bass pt is 4.5nm  another 2nm to shellharbour..there is good reef all out from this area...iv caught marlin 1/2 mile off bass pt....you can launch anywhere down that way...it just boils down to personal choice...rick
