went for a walk round dalbora marina nelson bay yesterday..wow..there are so many fish in the NO FISHING area..bream pushing two kilo..blackfish the same.huge whiting.but the best was a flathead laying on the sand rock edge at your feet that was easy 1 mtr..another little one was 5 feet away it was 85cm..8ft of clear water and the bream love eating bread or chips thrown to them...my casting finger was twitching the whole time....I must have looked like homer simpson standing there going aaarrrrgghhhh....drool....rick

-
heading for shoal bay for the wknd..missus booked us into the caravan park for my bday..sneaking a flick stik in and give the flatties a go along shoalie tomorrow...hope they are hungry...rick

try a few different knots and see if it still does it ..not good considering if you stayed connected to your lures longer you may have lost a good fish to bad line..hope they replace it for you mate..rick

jim I have a spot off Newcastle fifty mtrs off the rocks in thirty feet of water and I don't start fishing there till ten in the morning..i dived here for years and used to see heaps of jew and good reds in mid morning dives...its shallow reef straight onto sand and I have half a dozen spots like it..im sure the same happens at many locales up an down the coast...I dived boat harbour below kurnell a few times and seen reds there in forty ft of waterso don't be scared of shallow spots in daytime...rick

congrats to both of you..well done..rick

aaahhh seascapes...blew up six of the beastly things..then came speedmasters yaayyy......havnt had to do the nail polish for a long time...but it works...rick
-
Take apart and paint nail polish on lip of spool to build up diameter takes a few layers but works
-
sooooo aerial scoping of possible snags....no wonder you find the cod.......bahahaha
-
most ropes end up sinking after being in water for a while..i do a fair bit spearing and chasing crays and find heaps of anchors..most times I leave them near boat ramp for whoever piks them up....I use very specific anchors so I don't keep any....the amount on some bait grounds would amaze you...hope you can get yours back..rick
-
plus one on retrieving from inside boat..12mm rope from bow back into boat attach anchor rope thru loop..when pulling anchor in I just drive past float wait till float hits chain then stop pik up rope laying next to boat turn round and idle back along rope...no pulling no weight and I don't leave the helm in my boat..so very safe..no hatch bulls@#t..no waves over the bow no water in your cabin....depending on style of anchor how strong is the winch setup if you have to try and drive your anchor off a reef ???..rick

best ive seen was an rx7 filled up with concrete...rick

how old is your braid..it might be failing no matter what knot you use..also check your guides to make sure they are not cracked especially the tip ..this will cut your line in a blink..rick
-
small redspots will work..anything the rubbish cant pik apart is useable..rick
-
nice kingies mate good fight good feed..sweet
-
was that a Hartley..holy cow..lol
-
mine ordered a cube of gravel on a Monday..that way I had to spread it before the weekend..my girls a thinker lol..rick
-
if you don't mind a long walk Winnie bay is good..if heading north I would go to laurieton and fish north side of pt perpendicular there are longies there now tomaree has been quite..booti charlotte cape hawk have fish..hat head has heaps goin thru..your reel will work but a tld would be better...rick
-
the temps 20.7 at the island..by all rights it should be holding bait still but they were not there sunday...rick
-
if you get hassled by sweep I find if I burley heavy and keep them near the boat then cast out the back of the trail you can still get reds...if the sweep are ratting your baits go to bigger baits or use whole heads off yakkas or slimies..I sometimes cut the head of sweep with part of there body trimmed thinner and use that..rick
-
avoca is a bit of a wave trap not good in swell..it would be unfishable the last two days as its been big..i would consider 1.5 or bigger too much but it depends if its coming from south east or north.it all affects it differently...imo there are better spots anyway..rick
-
north isl mate the sisters was covered in undersize reds..that is where we could fish ,it waspumping whitewater...breaking in between the two main rocks..can only sit where it lets you on the day...the big schools of slimies have disappeared. caught 4 all day...have to get them at the heads next trip..rick
