That must have had you guessing! Congrats on a memorable fish!

Wow...an 80m cast would be competitive in an Alvey casting comp! Sounds like a good spot for a kayak to get to!

That's it! You are now officially addicted to Jews. Get some extra sleep because you'll be chasing them all night soon!

Go Mr Fish! Congrats ona super fish And well done on bringing it all together. That's a heavy fish for the length and must have been in excellent condition! God luck on upping your PB!

Great vid , nice boat and top session. The conditions this arvo couldn't be any better could they?

Nice red for the pan!

That's a cracker tarwhine! They pull hard than bream, taste better as they have fatter fillets. I fish for them and let line out as they take the bait as sometimes they pick it up and drop it if they feel weight.

Thumper of a bream and 1.6kg is serious weight. Well done and keep the reports coming!

That's a great fish and as a first Jew, a cracker! Is that it's stomach hanging out or was it smoking a Cuban?

Thanks for the comments guys, as for cleaning the yak, there are a few dark blotches here and there but ill get out the kartcher and give it some stick! I've frozen the big squid and I'm going to stuff the tubes and cook them in a tomato based sauce so ill keep you all posted!

A quick snapshot of 3 outings last week in Sydney's glorious autumn weather.... Outing 1: Collected some fat poddies and fished CC bridge in the last of the run, at sunset on April 19. Trolling around the CC bridge just on dark, one of my livey rods buckles over so I set the hook to another screaming run and good headshakes and stupidly put the rod back in the holder so I can get my other two lines in. One more run and ping, the beast (jew suspected) reefs my up near a bridge pylon. No joy but a pleasant arvo out on glassy conditions. Outing 2: Kept an eye on Seabreeze and picked out Wednesday arvo April 24 as a good time to target some squid. Hit the bay about 1pm and the last of a light westerly began to drop as I slow trolled some squid ligs over weeds near the entrance of the bay. No joy for an hour then as the wind dropped to nothing, I hit a patch of nice green eyes and managed a drag pulling 34cm hood amongst them. The yak was inked pretty badly at one stage but a great feed of 6 inkers was collected in under an hour. Outing 3: Had lunch out at Cronulla on Anzac Day and noticed the swell was right down so I planned to take my mid 70s father in law out for a bash on the following arvo. Collected some nippers and a bag of stale bread from the baker and we hit the spot around 3:30pm . I was armed with some new 8lb fluorocarbon line on a light alvey and my FIL had his usual eggbeater & basic rod. after burleying for 20 minutes, i went the first nipper and afiesty bream comes out of 2-3 feet of reefy water. I picked up another couple of sub 30 bream then my FIL gets one, yeehah! Then some bruisers moved in and my next fish was a 40cm pig which upon lifting onto the rock ledge, snapped my live fibre rod in two! (secong rod to do so in 3 years!!!) My FIL went back to my car to get his other rod and in the mean time I use his $50 combo and another good fish bricks me under a ledge. He arrives with a spare stick for me and i slip my Alvey onto it to then get bricked by two more good fish. As soon as the mother of all full moons came over the horizon, the fish switched off. we ended up with probably 15 fish over the 90 minutes and took 8 home for a feed. I should have used 12lb!! Three very different fishing episodes but all in the best weather Sydney could possibly turn on!

Congrats on a memorable capture....did you end up running out of juice?

That is a top mixed bag and some great feeds coming up!

That's a great post and a fantastic fish! Well done!!

That's a great diet over the week...great fishing!

2Kilomari! Top feed there or wil you use it for a 100kg kingy!

Well done...it looked good out there!

Amazing capture, how long does it take you to land a beast like that on fly gear?

Go Stormy! Great bag as usual, how good has the weather been!

Well done Tony, Great feed and worth the wait. Bet is was busy out there on Anzac Day!

That is a cracking bag! Congrats and well done on finding a spot where the whiting feed for long enough for you to get your bag!

I missed this one Hodgey! Congrats to Rob and that was a great read. My son is 9 and after watching Jaws a few times, I can't get him to come out with me in my kayak anymore so ill have to think about some LB action for us to share. I miss your flatty posts but look forward to more from the fresh!

Alveys are bullet proof. They love a salt water rinse! They are also great of the rocks and very therapeutic to use.....no gears to help you out........I have 4 from the smallest to the biggest and wouldn't use anything else from the sand.

That's a great catch....the flatties must be having a beach holiday!

Well done champ, a great catch for new grounds!
