Thanks Scratchie! I think i will just give the breakwall a crack just before the change of the tide for Jewies. Hope i can get some livies somewhere? Will keep you posted on how i go. Thanks again mate! Neil

I know they got into the tailor up near the pool last Sat night! But it was pretty crowded and i went back to Pittwater.

No one has any tips????? I will just have to give it a crack and put up a report latter!

Hi Raiders, i am heading up to Port Mac in a few weeks. I have only two shots to get some fishing in. I am keen to target a Jewie or Cobia if possible??? I am land based and need some tips on where to fish and where to get live bait. Beach?? Break wall??? I have never fished here before so keen to get any info. Thanks! Neil

I went for a walk around Longy at about 3pm and saw the same! Hundreds of birds diving! maybe 300 or so???? Must of been a massive school of Salmon! No one was out there cause of the wind. Worth a shot a reckon! Bet there would be big kings hanging around underneath them too!!

Thanks so much Blood knot!!! Legend! Mushtaka

Hey raiders, i was given 2 crab traps the other day. I think they are called "lift nets" (Meshed bottom ring and a collapsing net that lifts when you pull it up) I know that some traps are illegal but i cant seem to find anything on the NSW fisheries web about "lift nets" just witches hats and other traps that are not the same. Anyone got any info or could point me in the right direction? Or are they crap at catching crabs and i should just go and get a "witches-hat" Here is a pic from the web that is very similar to mine. Thanks! Mushtaka

Hey guys, i have been sending out live mullet in the surf but find they don't last long. I usually just hook them through the nose. After about 10 minuets they are nearly dead...When i hook them behind the neck they seem to die even quicker and hooking in the tail the mullet usually comes off in the cast. What is the best way to rig a 15cm mullet off a surf beach???? Thanks! Mushtaka

Hey mate, i found the south end to be best for whiting and up near the spit for Jew. You can get squid and yackas around the rocky bays further around past the south end. Let us know how you go. Mushtaka

Hi Nathan, it was just on low tide. But the lake lags behind a bit. There was also large tides over the weekend. I don't use the traps as i am after the bigger mullet close to the 15cm size. I usually only get the small ones 5cm or so in the traps. I send them off the beach for Jewies. If i get 6 good ones that is usually more than enough. Might see you down there one time mate! Mushtaka

Thanks guys! I usually do OK but they were hard to get today. Probably people throwing cast nests at them spooked them a bit. I might try the small size 12 green hooks next time.

I worked hard today for a hand full of poddy mullet in Narra lake. I was fishing with the standard float and small long shank hook. For 2 hrs work i managed 5 to send out off the beach. It was frustrating to see some blokes using a cast net to catch them. I thought they were illegal in NSW???? Is this true? Mushtaka

THANKS guys! That is a great help! I think i will stick to the beach and have a night sesh. Maybe i will try to land a Salmon or Tailor 1st as live bait and then send them out! I will also take some fresh squid as bait for back up! Will let you know how i go!

Anyone? Oh well, i will just have to fill you guys in latter on how i go? Mushtaka

Hey Raiders, i am heading up to Anna Bay next week and wanted to fish Stockton beach. I am going up with my wife and kids so i only have one shot at hitting the beach for a night fish or morning fish. I was after any tips on fishing stockton beach at early morn or night. Going for one thing: A massive Jewfish Questions: 1) Do i just pull up at any gutter or is there a better place to fish more than others (Nth end/south end/ middle)? 2) Is it best to fish an hour either side of the high? early morning or night? 3) Best bait options? 4) or should i just not fish the beach and just drive to the break wall? If you don't want to share your tips here publicly, feel free to PM me. I would appreciate any help! THANKS! Mushtaka!
