Hi CC, thanks for your reply! very helpful!!!!! Two questions: How do you cast out with no weight? I might scale down to 1kg at the moment im using about 6kg. What does a french pattern rig look like? Is that like a bait jig with 4-5 hooks down the line? THanks again for your help mate! i will give it a go tomorrow. Mushtaka

Ahh! yes thats right "bully mullet" Do you think i should try further up the lake away from the beach entrance where there is less salt water? THey seem to just tease me all the time by jumping out of the water with a big splash. Cheers, Mushtaka

Hey everyone, I have been trying to land some big sized bull mullet for a while now but have not had any luck. All i seem to catch are smaller ones around 10-15cm. I can see the big bull mullet but they never seem interested in taking a bait. I berly up the water with bread but only seem to get the smaller ones excited. The rig i use is a float with a small longshank hook on the end. Can anyone give me some tips! I fish in Narrabeen lake. Thanks everyone!

It was terrible to hear two fisho's got washed off the rocks at Bondi. One last night and one this morning. So be careful on the rocks. Mushtaka

I went out on Thursday night and all my baits were getting mashed-up by crabs. Did this happen to you guys. I was towards the nth end of Narra.

I heard that Catfish fillets make good Jewfish bait. Has anyone else heard that?

They are all over Narrabeen too!

Hi Blacky, i was down there on tuesday and it was open. Maybe you were there on low tide???? I might go up and check it out this arvo.... Thanks mate.

Nice work Spence!!!! What time did you catch them? Mushtaka

Hey guys, i went out to Browns again today. Still no action. I am not sure how the other 8 boats went out there? Why have the fin gone???? Mushtaka

Nice work Kit!!!!! That is a NICE KINGY!!! Its a bit bigger than the one you caught in Pittwater Neil

I went out on Tuesday. We cubed all day out at browns. We did not even turn a reel. Long day!!!!!!!!

Thats a bummer Ray, better luck next time mate. I think Juno is not the best spot. i have been there many times and caught nothing. Mate, i was wondering how far the slimmies are off west head? Are they in deep water or on the point? I liked the patonga flatties! Mushtaka

Well where do i start... For 4 years i have been trying to land a Jewfish. Today my mate came back with some nice slimmies that he got in the harbour so i thought it was a great opportunity to send them out off the beach. I got down there about 10pm and butterflied the slimmies and threw them out and with in five minuets a landed a nice size talor about 60cm. I threw out another slimmie and i got a nice run on the bait runner for about 5m or so, i let it run because i did not want to go to early but then nothing!!!! i had one more nice run and this time i think i did go to early. it felt really fishy down there and i was all out of bait and the question came do i send out a slab of taylor or do i eat him???? i might up grade to a jewie??? I cut a nice size slab off the taylor and threw it out after 10 min my rod buckles over and big pulsing pulls are screaming out from my drag. This is it! finally after 4yrs of sitting night after night on that beach. I started to think about all the people to thank like the boys on the chat forum on fish raider and my mate that gave me the slimies. After about a 20 metre run.................................. he was gone!!!!! i thought it must of been a shark that cut through my leader???? when i brought in my line i checked to see the tell tail signs of what happened. My knot on the braid to the leader popped!!!!!! i had not changed it for months Note to self tie new knots before going out!!!!!! I do not know how im going to sleep tonight replaying it over and over again in my head. Anyway thanks for listening to me winge. i hope to put a nice pick up soon of the one that didn’t get away. At least i still have a nice big fillet of taylor for breakfast..... Neil

Thanks guys. i will head out just before 10pm and let you all know how i go. Thanks for your help. Mushtaka

Hey guys i am heading out tonight with some fresh dead slimmes that were caught this morning to try and catch a jewie off the beach. Whats the best method for riging them up. Butterfly them, big slabs or whole? They are about 30cm in size. what do you reckon? thanks in advance.... Mushtaka

Great fish mate!!!! i hope to bag me one soon too...

I went down by the ocean st bridge the other day and went in the water with a snorkle. i saw three big flatties. all around 60-70cm.

I landed a good size cuttle fish this morning. It destroyed my jig!!! Masive chuncks taken out of it. i would not want to get my finger near one!!!!

Thanks guys, i will ask him.... its a 4stroke 2002 model. i might get a bit more info on what he will do. thanks

Hi guys, i went to get my 70hp Evinrude motor serviced the other day, just a basic service and the guy wants to charge me $700 is that normal for a standard service? Thanks.......

Mate there are some nice size ones near the ocean st bridge. if you park in the car park and walk up towards where the run out part starts there is a little drop off, car park side of the sand bar. i have been snorkling there and have seen a massive school about 15-20 over the last few weeks. they are nice size jew baits. bread will do the trick.

G,day chris, i always just use this website to check it out. hope that helps. www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/nsw.asp

Hi guys, i spent a few hours the other day trying to get some fresh bait for a nice fat jewfish. I am trying to target the bigger size mullet but they seem very shy and don’t seem to eat any thing. I am using bread under a float and feel its the wrong move. Any tips would be helpful. i am fishing Narrabeen lake. Thanks everyone. Mushtaka

I went out on Monday for nothing. cubed for ages, but nothing came around.
