Hey Guys,
Over the last couple of weekends I’ve been heading early in the morning in Middle Harbour in hopes of some squid for bait, every trip has produced zilch. I’ve tried around the spit and around Quaker’s hat, consistently throwing at least 30 casts. Is anyone else having no luck in Middle Harbour or is it just me?
Kind Regards,
KR

Hey Guys,
Heading out over the weekend and just heard of a bait spot called The Fridge from an old mate. Would any of you be able to point me too this so called 'bait ground' if you wouldn't mind sharing it but i'm sure its pretty public already.
Cheers,
KR

Paddling around middle harbour in the yak and in one of the bays at the back where it was mostly sand flats, I saw fishing busting up frequently. One fish would bust up then 10 or 20 would follow. I tried chucking paddle tails at them but nothing. I don't know about the species involved but could anyone give me an idea of what they could have been?
Cheers,
KR

Guys, I row around that area and I cant tell you how dirty it gets. Also knowing the fact that all the big industrial factories used to dump their chemical waste not too far down the river is not too reassuring. I urge you guys not to eat from the Parra nor lane cove.

We carry first aid kits in all our vehicles and the boat. This time of year we regularly use up dressing pads and bandages just from being around the boat ramp as tourists let their kids play on the oysters. We've all done first aid courses too simply because of the risky games we play ( diving around washes with sharps and teeth etc).
Still don't like seeing injuries and when they are my own I simply pass out !!!!
Ha i felt a bit faint at the time but my old man told me to toughen up and clean the wound out. Wasn't very pleasant.

When I saw the title oysters and regrets I kept saying don't look at this one, dam I did and yuk that's nasty.
It makes me cringe seeing all the little kids here with parents letting them climb over the oyster covered rocks as well as swim around them. I really don't like oyster cuts, hopefully more people may learne from your mistake.
My son had simular to yours only his cuts had broken oysters and I think the whole town could hear his screams as the doctor picked the bits out of his cuts.
By the way please don't post anymore of these
Sorry i should've put GRAPHIC CONTENT, my fault. Your sons incident sounds hella painful feel sorry for him. I agree with you that people are not cautious around oysters in which they really should be. Even a small cut can induce a serious infection. Sorry again about all the nasty content i just thought it would be a good reminder to all that oysters can be very dangerous.

Hi Kingierun;
A few nasty gashes.
Being oyster cuts you will have to be extremely wary of infection.
A painful way to find out but;
NO BLOODY BIT OF GEAR IS WORTH THAT!!!
If you get reefed break the thing off!!
To replace the bit of gear would be around 1% or less of the bills to mend the hole.
Put this in the file in the front.
Under;
"YOU DON"T DO THAT THERE "ERE!!
Take things easy.
Cheers.

Yeh when my old man came and had a look he immediately chucked some antiseptic on it and gave it a pretty good clean, those oysters have some pretty nasty bacteria in them. Thats very true about the gear, i should never even taken the risk but it was a very good lesson to be learnt. Anyways, Cheers Oldfella

Ohhhhhh that is nasty. Well done on taking the young guys out for a fish keep the next generation going and teach them early. Cheers R&B
Haha yep even i squirm slightly when glancing back at the photo. Yeh its great to get the young kids out for a fish especially to get them slightly educated about the environment and how it needs to be taken care of.

Gday All,
Headed off to little manly today with a few mates and couple young fellas who tagged along in hopes to catch a couple nice fish for dinner. We arrived at 11am and with the first cast i got hooked onto a 50cm+ flathead which spat the hook as i was winching it up the rocks. We were using shiny micro jigs and sure enough we got a few legal tailor. Funnily enough one of my mates hooked a whiting on a 50g micro jig. Towards the end of the sesh one of the young fellas got his line caught on the rock and me being as stupid as i am tried to get it and whilst getting it i fell of the rocks scraping myself against a large pile of oysters. This resulted in 20 or so stitches in my right leg and an intense sanitisation. I was lucky enough to have landed that way as it could've ended up much worse. I've definitely learnt my lesson to be much more careful around rocks and always be very mindful of your surroundings.
Regards,

G'day Fishos,
Tomorrow, i'll be heading up to the entrance for a few days with a couple of mates. I've heard many stories of great fish being caught there but i have never ventured out there myself, so tomorrow will be my first time. Looking at it on google earth, i'm assuming that worms or nippers would be the 'go' around there? Also, what type of species should be targeted and whereabouts are a few good areas to chuck a line in, Only if you don't mind disclosing that info. I'm thinking about going for jews off the beach but don't know whether i should use beach worms or some fresh squid. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
KR

In personal experience, yakkas are very fussy during the day but once in a feeding frenzy, they will not hesitate to hit a bait-less sabiki. As for yakkas in the night, they are usually very active and it will not take that long to fill the bucket up with a couple livies. Usually i use a couple slices of cheapo bread to ONLY BURLEY then use either mince meat mixed with flour (to help it stay on the hook) or chicken breast. I don't find bread to be that effective with yakkas. Pretty much anywhere that has structure (wharfs, rock ledges, under boats) will hold yakkas. Remember either hit the livie spot at either very early in the morning or in the late arvo/night.
Tight lines,
KR

You could also put ur baits down using a heavy snapper weight connected to your leader via a rubber band

In my personal experience, you can pump nippers at the end of jerusalem bay and they work about anywhere throughout the cowan. If im fishing in my tinny i usually pump nippers then head off to around coal and candle for a good feed. Also you do get the odd jew on the nippers, which are a lot of fun.
Cheers,

Since I kinda target trees a lot I talk to a lot of ISO fishermen and they buy pre packed burley powder from Japan. Tried it and it works super well. However it's probably a bit crappy for the environment as all the colouring and preservatives that go into it. I just prefer my dodgy old recipe of fresh caught baitfish, bread, prawn heads and special sauce.
yeh thats understandable about the environmental impact of it. Cheers for the info anyways, do you know where i can buy that stuff?

When it's dissolved in water it might have paste consistency. It's usually mixed with bread.
