Hi all, Just a quick report... This is My first ever bass I caught and first time ever catching anything on a lure

Hi guys. Im going to start using lures for fishing instead of bait fishing & see how I go as I don’t get much luck with bait & wanted to try something new. I just need some tips on what braid and mono to run as well as what reel and rod to buy. I’ll mainly be only chasing flathead & bream as well as bass. I want one rod setup only for lures that can catch all 3. Im thinking , 2-4kg spin rod with a 2500-3000 reel. With 6lb braid & 10lb mono. (Mainly soft plastics, and the light plastic bass ones) And for heavy lures like metal ones just use my current rod I use for bait fishing with 15lb braid? Unsure of this setup

I'll have to double check the weather and tides on the weekend. Supposed to be nice weather light winds in the morning. Also I have been notified about an air show down there hopefully it isn't to packed at windang lake.

Yeah two people from now on otherwise it's to hard and can get dangerous! Also I don't have a license and the legal size engine for my tinnie is 8hp max!!! Once I get confident with reversing and putting the boat in and retrieving I'll upgrade but I get to worried as it is with a small boat haha.

Last time I launched at burkeley fished the main island hid behind the island from wind, it picked up real hard and there Wass that much wind making small waves in the lake and scared the shit out of me with 3 of us in a 3.2m tinnie and a 8hp sccary 10 minutes getting back !!!

HEy guys I'm from Sydney, Macarthur region. I sometimes don't like driving an hour to go fishing saltwater so I wouldn't mind going to go catch fresh water fish take a photo and then release ! I just don't know where to go I have a kayak tinnie or will go off the shore any tips on bait/lures and areas to go nearby ? Cheers kaneo

Hey guys! Has anyone been up to windang lake for a fish the past few days? I plan on taking the tinnie up for the first time. Launch at the caravan side park boat ramp, head in towards the bottom of the lake just as it opens up and have a fish there just not sure how shallow it gets before the drop off I always see boats down there. Might go try my luck down there and hopefully get a few fish on instead of sitting there without any action! Cheers, Kaneo!

Okay cool, I'll give that a go and see what happens. Thanks mate

Sometimes within the next week or two I'll fill up a bin of water and turn it on and see what happens and while the engine is off won't go into reverse

Doesn't end up in the far left part of that white section

So rev the throttle?

Thanks guys for making me not think the worse! Cheers kaneo

I'm hoping it's just something simple and not costly

I dont know which year model , I have a photo of the engine also a video but to big

Hey all I noticed yesterday that I can't put my engine into reverse. Only forward and neutral. What could be some of the reasons for this ? 8hp mercury engine

Hey raiders has anyone fished out in gunnamatta bay in either a boat or kayak. I'm thinking about taking either the tinny or kayak fishing out there and fish where all the boats are parked and anchored up probably in the of the bay from where the boat ramp is to the opening , im not sure which spot to fish any tips help? cheers kaneo

Okay awesome , I work during the week but depends if I'm busy in afternoons if I'll come or not but let me know anyway

Thanks everyone for the help and information on my post ! Yeah I might just learn a bit more with my boat and fish other areas before heading out that way just when I get more boat knowledge and water knowledge I might give it a go then cheers kaneo Also @krause I have a fishing kayak just the normal one and I haven't caught anything big on it yet & I would like to if you have any tips or areas you go or in need of some company , inbox me mate cheers !

Yeah I see a lot of people fishing off the break walls at the end where the opening is for salmon and king fish , I've had no luck there myself but only been there few times. So I thought I might take the boat out there on a nice day and see how I go !

I went to minamurra on Saturday morning was in the water about 7:30am we had 4 types of bait and no luck. Few small nibbles and a couple hits nothing landed... so we then decided to take the boat to launch at Berkeley and head to lake Illawarra & fished there with two undersized flatties and an undersized brim or tarwhine. Water got really choppy heading back and was quiet scary, made my voice change when I spoke of how nervous I was HAHAHAHA ! Got back safe

Only a small 310 dart with an 8Hp, I think 10ft. Not sure if the boats even suitable to take there thought I'd get some info before even thinking about taking it out @Big Yella

Hey Raiders, Has anyone been out fishing in a tinny anywhere in this photo below inside of the break walls not outside as it would be to rough for a small boat and dangerous ? If so where abouts would be a good spot & how deep is the water there , too deep to anchor or will be fine within the break walls. Cheers kaneo

Haha good idea ! yeah I might do that sounds like a better idea or I'd just kayak up towards port hacking towards deeper waters probably more chance @krause

Thanks boys appreciate it heaps! I'll let yous both know how I go & where I end up going hopefully all goes well! @Fab1 @mii11x

I was thinking minamurra cause its a lot quieter than lake illawarra but yeah
