    Depending on what line class your using mate.

    Plenty of jigs in tackle stores. 40 - 80 grams. I was running 30 lb braid with heavier leader

    fishing depths 100m plus from the shore

     

    Good luck

    Cossie we used to stay in the 'cave' high above "greenie" where the rope up to "magpie" was as it was the only place that was comfortable to both sit and lie down. I could put a story on here every night for a year about adventures at the Mattens! Did one 3 night trip and a few 2 nighters. October for Mulloway and giant Pigs, November was giant Luderick, big Kingy's were a possibility any day. Fishing the back(shallow end) of the lake was the hottest Luderick fishing you could ever find. Did you ever try fishing at "Pig Rock" about 40 metres north of the entrance to the lake- in front of the "swimming pool"?

    No not pig rock

    stayed in the cave during a few all nighters chasing the bream.

    i remember the lake firing for blackies. I don’t know why but I found the logs at Rosa a bit hairier than the ropes at the mattens.

    In terms of dodgy spots yellow rock has always ranked No.1 for me.

    fished it myself early 90’s. Had some overnights there and often wondered how I would get back up the ropes in the morning.

    I remember the overhang well.

    The fisho who took me down there used to virtually run down the ropes. Extremely agile. He also stopped going there after being witness to a fatality.

    I myself never introduced anyone new to the spot. The goat track itself was hairy enough.

    Hi Neil the Mattens is actually about 1.3km north of the murk and was clean water unless it was a southerly, then we got the brown water and of course the smell. Funny thing with the smell was after it 'got' you initially, you really seemed to become 'acclimatised' to it and didn't really notice until reaching the top of the cliff on the way back. I guess that must have been the way it was for everyone living in the area. The only time it was really bad was when the great sewerage strike was on, which was during a period of calm seas and fairly hot days. Untreated effluent was released straight into the sea and the 'murk-line' was more visible than ever, almost chocolate-brown. Bondi Beach was fairly crowded when we drove past on the way to Dover Heights and the usual northeasterly flow was pushing the murk water right in at the beach. The afternoon southerly breeze arrived and sent the murk up to us and the fish really came on. We had a couple of sensational overnight Mattens trips while the strike was on. I also hope someone replies re the offshore outlets, seems logical to me that there'd be tons of fish around them regardless of the "filtering".  Cheers Waza

    They're a bit bigger than the 7000, but are a great reel. Like Rick I used the same combo & caught alot of good fish on it.

    Hi Jewhunter/Rick 

    Thanks for replies. Have an option in 9000CL also. I assume similar to 10000?

    thanks Cossie

    Hi

    wondering if any raiders have used an Abu 10000? just looking for info re  casting large slab baits for Jew,shark etc

    have no troubles with casting 7000 models. Thinking of using it with a custom FSU 5120

    How does sizing compare to a 7000 series

     

    Thanks

    Magic point is accessible from continuing along base of cliffs. There was a plank at bight of large gutter when I used to fish it

    no need for ropes

    Hey Fishraiders!

    Recently I went down to Magic Point with my mate for a short fishing sesh.

    We found a very nice spot there but it seemed almost impossible to reach the spot without performing at least a 2m+ jump down (and how would we even get back up?)

    In the end, we ended up fishing on some overhead rock platforms which were at least 10+ metres above the water - very difficult to land any sizable fish

    For people who have fished at Magic Point, where would you guys suggest us to specifically go?
    If you guys know what spot I'm talking about, how would you guys get down/back up?

    Highly appreciated!

    Kind Regards, 
    Richard

    Magic or mistral point.

    i am assuming Maroubra?

    Solid haul there Cos. Well done. What reel is that by the way?

    I always flip a coin before I fish...heads is an eggbeater, tails is the good ol alvey. Can never decide :wacko:

    Hi mate

    Centrepin is an old Boaden NIgg-r reel. 4" inch diameter.

    i believe only a few old timers may remember them. From the 1950's.

    Cheers
