See if you can attach a small rolling swivel to the front of your lure, and just use a locked blood knot.
Hope this helps out

Theres so much stretch in the lighter lines I find it extremely rare to break off a lure but commonly get bitten off by tailor.

I was throwing a 10g Gillies Pilchard Metal lure using a palomar knot, and it just flew off

Hi guys,
I was interested in what knots people use for metal spinning lures, as I was using a 10g metal lure to a 10lb leader on a Palomar knot, and it just came off after quite a number of casts. Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

How do you catch pillies haha

Thanks guys! Sorry for the lack of information that i provided. but i am mainly going to fish places like the Georges River and Port Hacking, but am also planning to go the places like The Entrance and Jervis Bay. I have bought a Shimano Sienna 2500 with a Shimano Catana 702 rod.

Hi,
I am a wanting to get into soft plastics, and was wondering what are the some of the easiest and most effective soft plastics to use. Am mainly targeting species like bream, flathead, basically any fish that can be found in NSW rivers. Specific brands, types and colours would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Ohh i've never thought about using beef! What do you catch on it?

I was wondering if anyone would be keen to share some tips/tricks and also locations when it comes to prawning. Have tried a place called Lake Tabourie last summer, but the prawns were only pinky size
Wouldn't mind a few hours drive outside of Sydney
Thanks!

I have tried fishing the Como area and i have caught 0. Gymea Bay Baths works quite well, but it's annoying there as there are a lot of small fish. If you have a wharf or pontoon on the back of your place, should just try burley with bread and floating a piece of bread on a small hook. Will most likely get bream or luderick on high tide

Hi,
I was looking for any recommendations of places to go over the summer with a few friends. Looking at maybe a one or two night stay and looking to do some crabbing, prawning and fishing without a boat. A few hours out of Sydney would be ideal!
Thanks
P.S. We're beginners haha
-
Yeah, i used to live around Salt Pan Creek. Awful stench at low tide, and definitely would not eat anything out of there
-
I've heard reports of people catching blue swimmer crabs off beaches without a crab pot/trap, and i was wondering if anyone has done this and how do you go about it doing it? Any tips like locations around Sydney, times etc. would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Was it just me or did anyone else notice the sinking boat on the Georges River near Oatley Point over the past few days? Wonder what happened to it?
Any stories guys?

Hi,
I was in need of some tackle and i was wondering where you guys go to find the cheapest tackle prices. Preferably in the Southern Sydney region
-
Hi guys,
First post with some fish haha. Decided to go for a quick fish on the high tide at ~2pm from my pontoon. Just used a hook on its own for the rig and white sandwich bread as bait (as i feel they dont take wholegrain bread well). Burleyed the water up using bread also. Saw a bit of action on the burley and cast out into the burley trail. Within a few seconds, was on to the large bream. A good 15 mins past and caught the just legal bream on the same tactic.
Good catch for a few hours worth of work i feel. Good weather too
-
Umm preferably in the Georges River or Port Hacking? Wouldn't mind a little venture to the Hawkesbury though

Hi,
I'm a relatively new fisherman that is land-based and i was wondering what are some things to look out for and utilize to improve my chances? Like where to go, what species to aim for, baits etc.
Cheers

Hi,
First time poster, and sadly no beginners luck... Went down to Gunnamatta Bay first for a fish around 10:30 on Thursday night. Cold, windy and no bites... Decided to relocated to Wally's Wharf afterwards. Got there to see 2 other guys pull in 4 nice squid but i got nothing
I was wondering where are some good land-based fishing spots around this time of year in the area, and what to fish for?
Cheers

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any walking trails by bodies of water that you can fish from? Like you walk to a spot, try your luck, and if nothing comes about, can just walk to another spot and try again?
Thanks!
