Hi Tan.

Collaroy is another good spot. Fish on the ocean side of the swiming pool. Also use Mono line, much better than braid at the beach. The critics will bash me up saying this, but I have never had a problem using good quality Mono.

Cheers.

Hi Rebel,

Thanks for the spot suggestion. I hope to give it a try. Haven't done proper beach fishing before. Looking forward to getting in to it.

Cheers

Tan. Welcome to the site, hope you have a long and enjoyable time here and learn lots.

I can't help you with taking you on the beach but can offer some advise , most important part of beach fishing is being able to READ the beach find the gutters etc, do some study and look on Utube to learn how to do it and then go and have a look, best if possible from a high position and don't bother even taking a rod just watch the way the surf rolls in and the water rolling back out etc, watch where others are fishing, spend some time studying the different formations of the beach, all beaches act differently, some face slightly different directions etc so act slightly different, a high rod is important so the wave formations don't keep dragging your line down and about, but in saying that sometimes the fish are in real close, it's a try and see thing, don't be impatient learn to cast well and try and have no twist in your line.

Many more on here will probably add some helpful hints for you so good luck and let us know when you go, even if you don't catch fish, enjoy the time near the water.

Hi Frank,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to post such an informative reply. I will certainly like to do the reconnaissance before the outing. I have got my beach outfit. Now just waiting to get out soon.
