G'Day raiders,
Just a short report here. Currently up in Gold Coast for a holiday, and a little flick
Yesterday, we went out to the boat ramp next to the Sundale Bridge on the nerang river for a fish landbased. Had a few small bites but only caught 1 small bream
. The bait I was using was fresh school prawns.
I am wondering if anyone knows how to fish the Gold Coast around the Nerang River, canals, Broadwater and around that area. Any recommendations on spot and bait to use would be wonderful.
Regards,
Martin

Great session. What a top sporting and table fish they are.
I bleed them and put them on ice fairly quickly. Fillet them and cut the blood lines out giving 4 fillets. Lightly coat with olive oil and seasoning and put on the grill plate. Watch the colour come through, turn off the heat, turn them and the other side cooks on the remaining heat. Yummo
We do quite the same by bleeding them and putting them on ice. Sounds like a great dish!

Nice work mate,
What size was the biggest trevally?
What bait were you using?
We had 41cm for biggest trevally.
Bait was fresh school prawns and pilchards. The fresher the bait the better

They make great sashimi and are really good grilled on the BBQ with a little olive oil and lemon. YUM.
I have found in the past that they are also great shark bait off the surf. Slab out one side and run close to the ground worth a big octopus hook. The occasional jewie fall for them as well
Cheers R&B
ooo, grilled barbie with olive oil and lemon.. never tried that before. Will cook up a dish.. Thanks R&B

Good work,
I was hoping the larger Trev's would come on in the new year.
Went out just before Christmas could have filled the boat with 29.9999 cm models.
Oh dear, 29.9999cm LOL, that is pretty close though..
Certainly they have came..

Wow, that’s certainly a big haul. Plenty of sashimi there! Would have saved the day and made for a fun 3 hours!
Cheers scratchie!!!
Thanks Scratchie!
Was certainly a day saver and yes we did have a yummy sashimi. What a fun day! Wasn’t sure if it was the storm that led them there or the fish were always there! Never fished that spot before hehe. Usually I fish the end of the oil wharf at around 10m of water.
Cheers, Martin!

Nice one!
Where abouts in the bay, around the runways or closer to the heads?
Cheers Smasher!
I will certainly tell the raiders! We were fishing right about 3 metres of water at the oil wharf. About 100 metres away from the wharf.
Hope you catch something there!
Cheers!

Hello Fishers,
Just a short report..
Went fishing inside Botany Bay on a Saturday 2 weeks ago. Launched from foreshore rd boat ramp at around midday. For the first few hours, there were either no bites or baby snapper bites. It was a stormy day out in the west, which moved towards the bay. Strong winds (32 knots approx), heavy rain, and large swells and waves rocked the boat spinning it in circles. We quickly headed further to shore, in only 2-3 metres of water. Why 3m you may ask?? because that's where the waves were less choppy. Started putting our lines out with no bites. Suddenly... BANG BANG BANG. Big Trevallies taking the line non stop. The trevallies continued to bite non stop - bagged out within 3 hours on 40 trevs (4 people on board). Couple flatties as well. Also the lightning show was pretty spectacular.
Certainly a great day out despite not being able to fish for months due to my son studying and school and all that.
Will certainly go out again.. (can't submit pictures due to size)
Cheers,
Martin

What rod to use for the Shimano Beastmaster 9000?
in Fishing Chat

Hey Raiders,
Just got a Beastmaster (electric reel) arrive a few days ago and now looking to find a rod for it, not sure which one?
I am looking at the Shimano Tag-em deep drop PE8 one atm (recommended)
I was also given the option of Revolution and Status.
Any of them better than the other?
Thanks so much
