Was this the yellowfin?
Yes, I didn't ask about the size, as I didn't, still, don't believe yellowfin could be so close to the shore. He told me the location--I searched it, I forgot it now....

I dont think an ISO setup can handle a live yakka
Use a large float, my co-worker told me he used live bait and managed a tuna

I used to drive a Suzuki SX4 and never had a problem at highway speeds carrying my Hobie Adventure/Revo 16. Just need make sure its properly secured and put a red flag on the back end. Only time I really notice it is in strong crosswind in which case drive slower. I would advise avoiding ProRack brand. They flexed constantly under the weight of the yak.
I'm happy to know that Suzuki SX4 can carry Hobie Adventure/Revo 16. I think I would start at a paddle kayak with two seats (I need to convince her she could enjoy it as well........)

I switched to "ISO" fishing, letting the bait float to avoid snags

Thanks for your comments,
@dirvin21 single kayak is my next step, as my wife, is always concerned about my safety, she tags along all the time when I go fishing.... That's why I said "Tandem". And I have a Corolla hatchback, over the top of my head, I need to equip cross bars to carry a large kayak. I heard it's not safe to drive on motorways, not to mention the length of my car. Ocean kayak would be the final option if I don't need to feed the family..... I will think about sit-on kayaks, this is important to me, safety always comes first.
@savit "Easy to carry" and "Easy to clean" would be wonderful for me. If I go somewhere, say, Blue Mountains or small lakes, central coast, or botany bays, I just drive my car to get there, and put together pieces, then have fun. I will try big snake and C-kayak

I'm interested in this model of kayak, yet haven't found any vendors selling this model. Another version --Mercury touring can be obtained from C-Kayak.
I started to question myself about the choice, as usually people don't import and sell something customers don't like.
So here come two questions: 1) Is it silly to buy such a kayak to go fishing in creeks/lakes/bays, even ocean? 2) How to buy this model cheap and easy?
Many thanks for your time, I'm a starter trying to learn a thing or two about Kayak fishing, and also lose some weight.

All the beachers I fine on that side I like Maroubra I have had more success there than all the others bream flathead salmon and shark
1Which side of Maroubra beach?
-
Try watersnake, or order some from ebay
-
I lost 5 lures at Clovelly, no kingfish, no mackerel....
-
I went there last week, land-based, unfortunately it was not allowed. Last Saturday, lots of kayaks &boats there
-
This weekend I want to fly some lures at Shark Point, however, the wind will turn to SS, SSE, the window is very small. Not sure how dangerous it is to fish in the morning, the swell will be around 1.1m, rising tides

Lured one barracuda，not sure of eating it or not

Non edible
I got another one, and sent it to other people. Actually, the taste is very good, better than baramundi
-
It's not politically correct to blame commercial fishing, even those ones in the name of scientific research...
-
Which spot? Last night I only got two, one mate got two as well.
-
I hooked one last night, and got shocked twice while fetching the rig and releasing it. Just wonder, is it edible? Or tastes like stingrays?

It’s probably best if you to start a new thread in fishing chat. Are you squidding landbased?
Yeah land-based.
-
This Saturday anyone is going to port hacking for squid?

I checked the rules, which kinda made me laugh when it comes to carp.
Catch and release only? I later checked https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/pests-diseases/freshwater-pests/species/carp/groups/recreational-fishers
Well, I guess Mainly dam is better. I have never tasted the Down-Under-versioned carps, but I still consider it's a good source of protein for us & pets. I ate plenty of carps before.
-
Lane Cove National Park is kinda tricky to find a spot good for carp fishing as several segments of the river are forbidden from fishing.
I'd like to give it a go if time allows
-
Spit is a bit too far. Most of the time I try squidding at port hacking, however, seems it has something to do with the tide (especially lilli pilli)
-
I bought some squid lures from China and tried last week, and hooked a big one, but it got away and left me a tentacle--the tiny tentacle could not hold its weight.

Was down at Gymea baths today and Sydney Water had signs up saying no swimming and fishing due to possible sewage contamination (they're currently testing the water). Has anyone else seen this? I was down there on Monday and no such signs.
I was at lilli pilli baths today and got only one squid. Luckily I throttled the idea of going to Gymea bay...

You all are so nice, I feel reinvigorated, just like recharged battery. Really appreciate every hint you provided.

Rock fishing set up
in Fishing Chat
Posted · Edited by mrsswordfisherman
I guess that's because of over-fishing. Every time I see some people, especially near Ugly bridge, and estuary of Cook River), catch fish no matter of the sizes, I feel bad.
