    spent 5 hrs yesterday spinning for flathead in tuggerah lake and the entrance channel...donuts...tried all my fave sps I use in lake mac but no takers...one flattie just bigger than the prawn style sp and an undersize tailor..after talking with two locals they seem to think the same as me that the fish are full of prawns as they have been moving of a night....next trip brouhgton hopefully

    I have a 4.8 vsea and fish fads off Swansea and port stephens...15 nm so long as u watch weather and have safety gear there is no reason not to..i have taken mine to the shelf off swr and Minnie waters..i also have many years experience in the pro fishing industry.gamefishing and general fishing outside...you have to start somewhere so pik your weather windows and travel with other boats if possible to glean knowledge from other fishos...it sounds like you will have a few offers from other raiders so go forth and fish...rick

    we fish out of my mates pride Bahia mar  they are 20 ft but are one of the best handling and riding I have ever fished out of  we run a 160hp Volvo diesel duoprop and its fuel efficient and has heaps of grunt..another to lookout for is the Bertram 23 with diesel...I wouldn't touch petrol in this size unless they are fourstroke outboards..

    depends on your bait size but iwould use 200/250 lb trace with multi strand at the front joined by ball bearing swivel crimped with thimbles....burley bags and assorted add ons are a recipe for tangles and bustoffs ...kiss..keep it simple stu...learn how to cut baits open and hide the hooks then sew back together with just the points exposed...most guys working of the beach don't use floats...good luck
