Wends sounds good bud and yeah I thought as much. I still need to invest in all of the waders etc but ill more then likely be there on wends.

Thanks heaps for that, yeah i bought some heavier jigs when I first had a go but it was obvious that when land based the lighter the better. Unfortunately I am land based so I'll keep in mind that in all areas smaller/lighter is best. Cheers for the advise. Cheers Brownie

Thanks heaps for the advice guys, will be heading to the shop on my next day off and stocking up on the jig heads iv got a few sizes atm but am mainly using the grubs atm, took advantage on a 3 for 27 sale that's on atm so have a few different types and size SPS on their way. Again thanks heaps guys hopefully I'll get the hang of the sp's soon and have some luck. Cheers, Brownie

Hey raiders, Due to family duties I'm starting to think about having to fish at night. Just wondering if anyone has some light sources or easy excess for cars. I'm hoping to head out tonight so any spots would be good. Cheers Brownie

Nar mate ATM just catch and release just in it for the fun of it. Will hit both up and see how I go, cheers for the heads up about the pollution thou I would have assumed they would have been ok to eat that close to the harbour. Cheers, Brownie

There is also a bait n go at the marina at Nelson's bay

Iv been looking at this area as well on Google. Looks promising especially off the wharf under and amongst the boats, I'm thinking I might hit it up next time out

Hey Raiders, Been spending my time at work working hard to find some new spots for me to try and have been very interested in Ryde wharf in Anderson park and it's shore line under the Ryde bridge but also the wharf off Blaxland road just to the west of the Ryde wharf that's right next to the train bridge. Just wondering if anyone had had any luck in this area, and what kind of fish I could be hooking up to? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheerss, Brownie

When im trying to match a rod n reel it basically comes down to what I'll actually be using it for, as I'm mainly an on shore esturay fishermen I go for the 2-4 or 3-5kg rods 6'5" to 7" rods paired with 8lb braid and 16lb leader. Once you have decided what ur going after and what conditions you will be in its easier to decide rod and then as savit said the reel needs to be smooth and comfortable on the rod. What kind of fishing are you thinking or doing or are doing??

Cheers bud, I bought the Abu Garcia vertilas with a 250 reel, was on sale as a combo and was well worth the money. But I will keep that in mind as I also picked up a 3-5kg Shimano rod of my bro as he didn't need it no more so now need a reel for that. Brownie

Hey guys, Just a general question about using bait. Was just wondering when using baits such as prawns or pillies do you use them whole or do you cut them into smaller segments and have them on the lower part of the hook?? Been having trouble getting action so just looking for some advice. Cheers, Brownie
-
Thanks bud will check it out. Brownie

To easy, I more meant holigan wise lol but to easy think I'll have to give it a try. Cheers guys
-
would you suggest this spot at night?? Looking at Google maps I can see that u can take Ur car all the way out but is it safe or is it better to go there during the day??
-
My boy is quiet new to fishing so I think I will leave that till he's a little more experienced and we are going for a night session so not going to risk the beach at night but I'll keep that in mind for when me n my brother go out cheers
