glad I wasn't there..rick

disappointing mate..must be the weather my mates fished copeton for two days for donuts..they heard of a 103cm cod but didn't see anything caught by anyone..rick

depends on what rig you are using..i fish floating baits in burley and run 15lb straight to the hook if using dropper rig you can go from25cm to 1.2mtr...lots of variables....don't fish too heavy is my best advice...rick

mate where are you staying..launching..big lake..rick

live yakkas work..but if you berley use heads as the rubbish don't eat them..rick

if you get more bakers fillet them and use BIG strips of them..reds luv em..or use yakka or slimie heads..rick

as I said before the bakers and red rockies are on the reef try workin the south side of reefs onto the sand edge..the reds will lay up out of the current waiting for food to wash off reef.....maybe psddle north up towards foggies..rick

not many wharves at penrith but im sure some of the other fr members will help you out..rick

nice work at least you got a feed...the reds will be there if your hittin bakers..ive caught heaps of reds in the past casting wide off the rocks at avoca and Winnie bay..keep tryin mate you will find them..rick

yeah mate bastards of things..bite thru 2/0 hooks..thought we were getting bit off by hairtail as theres heaps in the harbor at the moment...but they were the biteys doin the damage..rick

hey neil..horrendous sea conditions..we went out of the harbor into the bight and fished a wreck for a while to get livies...it was pretty ordinary with 4.5mtr seas..no one else was out...just heard two guys got rescued south of Sydney...rick

fished yesterday in harbor out near Stockton wall..had jew baits livies and squid out all day for zero touches..we caught 8 bream some tailor and flathead as well...was a bit surprised to catch 6 large red rock cod in harbor..once the tide changed we moved back up near the docks and proceeded to get bitten off on every line we put in.even 60lb trace was being bitten off as easy as..we finally caught the culprits after numerous guesses at who...green toads about 60cm long with the nastiest teeth you have ever seen.we gave up after that..no jew but at least we had a day on the water...rick

Yeah mate

yeah we have changed venue to newie harbor broughton is not on the cards..rick

you can give it a coat of resin then stick down carpet..rick

not lookin good for outside tomrw...3.0mtrs now rising..rick

Plus one on that seal it so you dont get water intrusion and seperation of the laminates..rick

Fished two seasons chasin marlin out of port stephens in a 7000 with twin150 hondas bit underpowered but worked well cheap to run and we caught plenty of fish..the people who have trouble with there handling need to learn how to drive a cat hull ..rick

Yeah i was hopin spend the day at the island and fish till dsrk but foeecast doesnt look pretty

Whodathoughtit headland nth of coffs caught dome big kings off there and the waters still warm enough to spin for longtails scratchie...im prayin i can hit broughton sat..rick

im with you dirvin I get a few down here as well as netted sweetlip..red in the mouth usually somber..rick

up an down nsw coast..mainly central coast port stephens anf further north...rick

look for grease nipple and pump some into it often while turning motor...should be halfway up on other side of foto..rick

ps..I usually try and use blue colored line for feds as it doesn't show up as much in the cleaner blue water we generally fish..i fish straight to the hook no trace...rick

I fish strictly 15lb nylon only for floating bait for reds..if you go heavier they seem to go harder and smut you..lighter and you cant stop them..balancing act...years of trial have lead me to this balance and im stickin to it..rick
