nice fish. How do you manage to stop small fish from taking the bait??? Should i use prawn or bread? all i got are undersized pigs (with peeled prawn)... thanks in adv

try this

would like to know the identity of this fish, and the best way to enjoy it. thanks...

anyone know the name of those two fish?

thanks tons Champ! I don't use SPs at the moment (actually don't know how to do it, only do bait fishing, without much luck anyway...) it's amazing that you have caught different types of fish on SPs, esp Whiting...I love it (always purchase it from local fish shops), wish I could feed on my own catch some day! do you reckon there is any chance I could catch anything around Port Hacking with prawn/pilchards... any suggestions? happy to take on any big fish... hopefully something I've never caught like - whiting, snapper, sambo, King, banito, etc. any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

Hi Buddy, Ok to let me know the good spot for fishing around your local area? I'm from eastern suburb, would like to try port hacking (land based) during x'mas, would be great to have some advice... many thanks

anyone could tell me the name of this fish? thanks

thanks mate, after some research it seems like a baby nurse shark, but now more seems to be a blind shark, which would live out of water for quite long, I'm about to release it now...

The fish in the green net are the same one from different angel... looks like some kind of shark to me...

thanks in adv sorry for the quality of the pics and this

it only took less than 5 min... with prawn

just wondering why my bream has got yellow tail, different from yours...

thanks for sharing the story,mate. guess providing false name could be the trigger of the rest accounts, as long as it's not his intension to break the rules plus first time, it should still be ok... thanks a lot D&G! hope there is no subsequent fines/penalties, will fax the license tomorrow. should have kept it in the wallet in stead of car, all because of fearing that the license might get wet if slipping into the water ...

good advice! will it be treated valid license by using the mobile phone? officers are very reasonable, and just trying to educate new anglers. the female officer was really kind and pretty as well

Couldn’t find fishing license when the maritime officer asked for it. Later found it in the car (not in wallet)… was actually fishing with a license. Officer collected personal details and requested a fax copy of the license within 14 days. Also an undersized tarwhine was found in possession, and asked to be released. (the girls would just like to keep it a little longer since that’s their first time saw a fish got caught – was about to release it anyway, but…shouldn’t have kept it in the first place) the fish was released straight away. copy of booklet was handed over by officer for education purpose...never kept undersized fish before, this is the first time... What to expect after copy of license is faxed?

trying to fish at Maroubra this weekend, very dangerous waves...with only around 10knots wind anyone has fished around Maroubra area lately? any actions? landbased...

close to browny, watch out for naked people around tho...

30ish cm think it's a legal length.

WHY? WHAT'S SO weird ABOUT?

finally got one the bream pulled very quickly, and I didn't even get a chance to react. it got hocked on by itself... would be interest to get some whiting next time. or even Sambo, not sure what bait to use, I used tiger prawn today.

well done! which spot at botany bay? ok to share some tips? I'm a newbie... thanks in adv...

desperate for Whitings, bought some from Maroubra Fishmarket today... never caught flatties at Maroubra either... virtually nothing from Maroubra

Thanks for the update mate! maybe I should try some other options, off the rock area around Maroubra, a bit scary tho... not sure whether it's worth the risk... Tried La Perouse offshore - only small ones - released heaps any way to get rid of them? any big fish around small ones? or am I using the wrong hook? (size 4) thanks in adv

looks impressive, now to do it mate, sick of fishing....

Thanks Trouble, hope Sambo would show up at Maroubra Beach some day... I was using size8 rod & 20lb string + size 4 hook with running sinker rig, no luck so far apart from a 0.5kg bream (about 2 mo ago) had not even a single bite ever since... would be great to have some tips on beach/rock fishing in terms of Bait, Rig, timing and spot.... thanks in adv.
