Nice yella finnn there mate, would have screamed I bet

Not much happening up this way at the moment mate, everyday is different but we seem to have hit a slow patch for the past few weeks
-
has anybody ever heard of fin being spotted in the harbour?
Had 3 fish to 1m darting around a wharf in the eastern suburbs this afternoon that i can only identify from ID charts as yellowfin... could be another tuna but a distinct blue back with yellowstripe and black tail.. are there other tuna that go by this description?
Ive heard of a couple taken off north head landbased a few years ago, pretty unusual though

Its ok because I fish for big kingfish we fish on top high ledges.I've seen lots of kingfish over a metre lost there when they lift up the fish its around 2 to 4 mtres from the water. You dont wanna loose that big kingfish of a lifetime. That kingfish I caught there 18kilo a while ago I caught that on 80 pound braid.
Cheers bangus
Sounds like you need to buy a gaff to me......

i parked on marine parade north side where the bend is buddy
then walk to the ledges
Nice work hooklineandsinker, spinning is a very addictive style of fishing, and with a bit of work can become very effective also.
If you want to mix it up a bit, get some Slash Baits, small knife jigs and some skipping poppers to add some arrows to your quiver.
Cheers,

Bonito are as thick as thieves at the moment, great sport on the bream gear. They are taking any metals around the 40gm mark

Hope you have a good hot day...
Thanks mate, I had a great day. Climbing down a cliff on ropes to a deserted ocean ledge in the dark is my idea of a good birthday

Just to add a bit of variety, my setup for land based kings runs as follows.
I run a short plaited double in 24kg main line to a 4 turn cats paw in 5m or so of 80lb twisted leader. This is connected by a three turn uni knot to a ball bearing swivel to which I tie my 100lb leader.
Its seems a bit over-done but the double/cats paw connection makes for a smooth passage through the guides when under strain and the twisted leader gives me a heap of control when the fish gets in close. You can really lock it up and go to town

Geeze. Wish I could walk on water!

Those blokes need to harden up
Fishraiders would have knocked that tiddler over no worries Cheers Stewy
I just started frothing at the mouth...... gimme gimme gimme!

I recommend taking a teaspoon of cement so you can harden up a bit

One point to consider is whether larger species frequent the area your fishing. If this spot is known for jews, kings etc then the bait your catching may very well be their regular food source and would definitely warrant sending one out.
Big bait does equal big fish, but big fish require patience

Yeah that's the thing, I reckon Im gonna find it's too bulky for flicking lures around and then I'm just going to use it for trolling and baitfishing. If I'm only gonna use it for that then I dont see the point in spending the money on braid.
Go the braid, fishing isn't meant to be a cheap hobby. No regret

They're cheeky buggers hey Peter? I've never encountered them at narra lake but I was "assaulted" once fishing off the point at long reef. Two birds saw me getting some good bream and got right up in my face and were acting very aggressively.
I felt a bit cornered with big waves to my back and these two beasts at my front. I could only get rid of them by going nuts and swinging my rod in the air, which I imagine was a hell of a show for the onlookers
The dam pelicans made me look like a goose

Hey Clem,
those striped fish that you fish for at your feet are called mado's and are not much good for live baiting, or anything else for that matter!
Are these the culprits?
The species predominantly used for live baiting include squid, slimies, bonito, frigates and yellowtail

Poor souls
"eight rock-fishing black spots in the state." Does anyone know where I can get this report?

You just beat me to it bluefin!
The best thing you can do with a frigate is to whack a 10/0 in him and send him back out into the blue yonder, unless you wanna salt the fillets for jew baits that is

Hi all,
I've been catching these in the past few days around the mouth of Pittwater.
Are they Mack Tuna or Frigate Tuna (Frigate Mackeral)?
(The bottom fish in the top picture is a Tailor)
Thanks all
Ashley
Hey mate, thats gotta be a frigate. A good sized one at that! well done

The invoice is in the mail

Good on you for getting out there in poor conditions
"If anyone has any tips on how to get past the pesky small snapper I'm all ears.
Bigger hooks just resulted in lost bait. "
Generally a bigger bait is attractive to a bigger fish, although elephants eat peanuts too!

Hey mate, if you don't have success with the singles try crushing the barbs on your trebles. I use this when spinning up bait- you retain the high hook up rate without the damage to the fish...
