ritchie

Thanks Pod...I am planning to go during the week. I wouldnt dare going to that place on a weekend, unless for a picnic of course! ..it gets so packed on weekends, you wont see that many rods out at one place even at mardi gras! .. thanks for the info, hopefully there will something to take my bait cheers

Has anyone been down to Clifton Gardens lately? Hows fishing there? getting an RDO next week and thought of spending it worthwhile, FISHING!

Thanks heaps Hodgy! time to have a drink and a fish!

i was up there 3 weeks ago, and fished the same place, trinity inlet..went on a half day tour with this operator who catches the crabs (he had several traps in different areas of the inlet, under the mangroves)..no fish at all that day but found about 7 mud crabs in one trap and they were lunch (there was only 4 people on board too!)...so it was 50/50.. later that day i fished off from the "Wharf F" on the marina (hired the tackle from the small boat hire place in the marina, $12 for the whole day!!) and caught 5 good sized "QLD grunters" !! no pics as i was fishing by myself and my camera is too heavy to carry around! the fish went well on the bbq along the broadwalk/esplanade... PS/ that croc is a regular on trinity inlet, i guess! well, arnt they all in that part of Australia anyway?

Hi Craig, thanks for the offer. but i dont think your place is big enough for us, there will be 4 adults and 2 kids. Thanks you muchly again!

A mate suggested that we go somewhere during the easter break and i started looking at places within 3-4 hour drive distance from Sydney, and you guessed right, ALL BOOKED OUT! So, taking a long shot and thought of asking beloved fishraider raiders whether they know of any place (not too commercialised, preferebly not advertised on the net!) big enough for 4 adults and 2 toddlers..somewhere near water where i can cast a line would be NICE! Thank you all in advance!

Welcome back Simmo! glad you had a great day fishing! WELDONE and good haul.. PS/ we should organise a LB sesh soon

thats a pretty smart tool and idea! guess you can make one easily using thick metal wire..im going to give it a go

Thanks Mate..seems like camping no go this weekend forecast says rains this weekend..so, hopefully next weekend.. thanks for the tips..will def keeep in mind..

Thanks Dean..cant wait to give it a go..what sort of surface lures were you using? And which rock walls are you referring to? I am thinking of taking a few surface lures and some garden warms..

Me and my mates are planning a weekend camping trip up in the Wollemi NP's Dunns swamp camping grounds..Ive been there before as a day trip but never camped or fished.. Has anyone in this forum fished in that area/Dunns swamp? Any info would be highly appriciated..Thank you!

Ive caught 8 last week with frozen phillie fillets on a floater..should try some of them magic metals next time

wow..i didnt know that either..i went carp fishing one time at the local lakes and this asian gentleman approached me and offered $20 for a 5kg + carp i caught, i didnt take the money or gave him the fish as i didnt want him to get poisoned (given the amount of pollution in that lake!) but thought may be i can catch carp from penrith and sell them to these people (why not, to pay off my boat loan LOL)..is that deemed to be illegal as well?..even though its carp and its a pest

hey john, for real?.. i've fished there landbased (from the jetty) and from my understanding its pretty shallow around there..i've casted towards the middle of the river (yeah, after alot of barbel curls hahaha) but never scored a jewie from there..ummm... may be there's a deep yet smaller hole somewhere there..

clean the fish, rub in some lime juice, chilli powder, salt and deep fry until the flesh turns light brown...at this stage even the bones are crunchy (extra dose of calcium!).we use it as a nibble and goes well with chivas on the rocks

Thanks Guys..wasnt a bad drive in the drizzle, got there bottom of the tide and fished from the structure next to the boat ramp (PS/ the boat ramp seems to be done up and it looks much better now, no knee high mid anymore!!!) .. it was overcast and windy..too many house boats (wtf???),managed 1 bream, thats the one and only bite for the whole 3 hours i was there! Hey JohnV, i was tempted to drive up to spencer but was wwith the family so couldnt really leave 'em there... didnt know u could catch jewies LB @ Spencer? is that from the boat ramp? or the wharf?

Going for a drive + a quick LB sesh at Wisemans and around...Conditions not looking promising with thunderstorm forecast though :/ .. any last minute tips? Wish me luck!

Thanks Kingy, we're planning to get there early as possible (around 5am) and leave around mid-day when everyone else start ther fishing! Hey Brettman, I think I've seen the area you're talking about, but do you know whether there's decent access to the area? because i thought you wont be able to get back on high tide! I'll do some more research Thank you guys!

Thinking of going for a LB sessionn at Clifton's but not sure how it has been producing. so, would it be a waste of time if i were to go there eary morning? Heard afew trev's been caught but not sure what bait to use? Any advice,info is appriciated. Cheers!

good stuff mate! nice to see the clifton's still producing afew fish! last few times ive been there (months ago!) got nothing and there were around 50 fishos! lol .. Guess its about time to hit the cliftons again during the week when no one's there!

Thank you swordy!

Hi All, I am looking for a cheaper (but good, of course!) charter operators in Fiji as me and a mate planning to travel Fiji in another month or so. We have done some online research and the cheapest found was $950 for a whole day game fishing! If anyone can PM me with the details of an operator you recommend, that would be great! Admins - not sure whether this is allowed (to ask about charter operators in the public forum, if so, please let me know ) Thank you

THANK YOU! Silly me, I have disabled the raight hand navigation!

Hey Donna, Sorry to ask a dumb question but where can I access the fishraider fish tube from? Cheers

Thanks again scotty! Will do avoid the rent-a-cop! Hope the place dosent get too packed! Will def put a post IF i catch something (except a possible cold from fishing in 15 degrees over night! haha)
