  1. nice fotos neil..my casting finger is twitchin already...I have been watchin river levels on bom..my fave spots are still up but dropping I hope the water comes good for you..on the upside my mate was trying some new lures at dubbo the other day and caught a 54cm cod while testing lures..swam off no worse for the experience haha...all the best for December mate
  2. until gamefish aust banned the use of mammal flesh or blood many years ago...I fished out of lake mac for many years chasing bities..we used a mix of chicken mince ..fish mince..fish frames chunks or thrown out pieces of chicken from chook farm....some guys prefer mullet or salmon put thru berley pot..we used mince in bags as its quieter..we fished one bait weighted nearly on bottom and two baits on floats in slick..everyone does things differently...I have since gone to the gentlemanly art of marlin fishing...bahahaha
  3. we use to run to lord howe for respite from weather but commercial boats arnt allowed to make landfall at the island so we just sat in the lee from the wind...taupo has kingies that nudge 45 kgs..there are fish that you will never match anywhere else....I caught broadbill up to 150 kg while drifting near taupo overnight waiting to dropline next day..live squid 80lb braid and sore muscles..i would go there again in a heartbeat..anybody got a big boat and the kahunies to go ???im in pm me PLEASE...RICK
  4. you need to wind the line off onto your spool either clockwise or anti clockwise so it matches the rotation of your spool..if you wind it on with spool spinning you are putting a twist into your line..same applies when fighting fish for extended periods as line comes off straight under drag then gets twisted back on by rotation of reel rotor...rick
  5. pretty sure kristy or wotever her name is..is hunts daughter
  6. I worked for a few yrs on a longline boat from port stephens..I have fished barcoo/taupo/derwent hunter seamounts and believe me they are eye openers...if you want kingies better than 30kgs..bass grouper that are just huge ..blue eye over 30kg and others too numerous and too big..too far for trailer boats but there are a lot of boats up an down the coast that are quite capable of a weeks run out there..????just a thought
  7. hear hear scratchie....raiders or anglers it is
  8. if women are so offended why isn't menstruate/womenstruate and menopause/womenopause...why do we get the blame.????????
  9. we have had plenty of whale shark experience on the nth coast..two trips in a row we had them rubbing noses on outboard leg..we will be keen to have a dive but I think we have one thing in mind.LOBSTERS..yum
  10. we want to try steep pt and some other lbg spots and we are taking a 15ft tinnie..what is the best time of year weather wise..?????
  11. we were thinking may/june or maybe later ????
  12. cheers for info ..u don't need to go wa for big tailor..my biggest locally on central coast is 8.2 kg..maybe someone else will have been there..thanks
  13. have any raiders been to shark bay wa ..my mate and I are trying to plan a road trip next year...any advice on time of year/actual destinations/gear needed/tips to take heed of....cheers rick
  14. if creatin rooster tail lift a few mm
  15. hey ads im at gorokan and have been having great success on cod the last couple of seasons.. send me a pm with ur no and I might be able to set up a weekend on the cod...cheers rick
  16. when the mud stops flowin u will find mullet carp and bass...you can find the bass on snags...there are better holes further up behind branxton and in black creek...good luck
  17. I mostly fish the rocks and always use two traces..one 80cm one 50cm...known as Newcastle rig..by the way I get plenty of double hookups and u have the luxury on long drifts to leave your rig out there if u miss one down as u usually still have second bait still attached..i fish cabbage with a hitch round weed...rick
  18. pick one of hundreds of oyster racks and fish the sides for bream or blackfish...flathead are EVERYWHERE
  19. between speers pt and warners bay is a good area for bream..anywhere round lake you will find flatties...up the creek at speers pt park holds good numbers of flatties..top end of cockle ck has bass..above weir..if you like rock fishin paddle out to moon island at the heads and fish off the island...endless options..rick
  20. hi ant we fish lake Macquarie often and some days we can get upwards of fifty flatties..some days we can get donuts no matter where and how hard we try..things to look at are tide phase moon phase barometer and luck factor can play a big part ...advise is to stick at it as weather is warming bait will start moving and fishing will improve..good luck..rick
  21. piece of cake...remove top screw which is oil level..remove bottom screw..drain old oil..oil bottle should have tapered nozzle on it..insert tightly into bottom hole and squeeze until oil runs out of top hole..remove bottle quickly and put bottom screw in topup a little if u spill a bit then install top screw...takes bout same time to do as to read ...cheers rick
