definitely look at the spit/balmoral/clifton gardens wharfs. at those places sinking an unweighted pilly cube can reward you with bream and trevally.

the entrance/tuggerah lake is good around the weed beds and drop offs for flathead, the channel for whiting.

Strolled over to Clifton gardens looking for a mullet or two for crab bait later in the day. took a couple loaves of bread and tossed some chunks out. the mullet weren't scarce, there was a massive school of maybe 25-30 cruising along but the wind did me no favours. they looked as if they were "licking" the bait, letting it roll around before swimming away. tried for maybe 3 hours before giving up. typical ME to catch not all day until I pack up, leaving a chunk of bread in the water with a hook sticking through it, finally landing a decent 37cm mullet. Greeeaaaaaat. Wonderful. now I can't even catch a crab :/

Hey guys I'm relatively new to squidding nd I don't know how to use this 8 gram jig I got. it sinks real slow. am I meant to use the jig only? or use a rig with a sinker. I'm going land based from Clifton gardens wharf.

Anyone know of any productive flatty spots in the harbour? I havent had much luck LB using sp Thanks

Ok, first of all your gonna need your fish fillets. Most will work just make sure they are skinless and boneless. Preheat your oven and get started on your fish. Lather and coat them in mayonnaise well and if you dont like it then dont worry you wont taste any. Then take your coated fillets and toss them gently in coconut shavings, almost like flour. Once you season em your done! Plonk them in the oven until they look nuce and crispy. Dont worry too mych about oil just a few dabs will do. Enjoy!

Nah mate ive only been a couple times but its worked out ok for me so far

Went to clifton this afternoon hoping to catch the 4:00 tide at clifton gardens. Caught a small yakka about 4 inches whick went out under the float for live bait. I was hoping for a kingy (maybe next time) but the bonitos strength and stamina should not be taken for granted even on heavy gear. Took it to a friends restaurant and sashimied it up. Yummy. Happy australia day

Any bait shops near clifton? Very annoying trying to find some thanks in advance

Heyy raiders, driving uo to narra and collaroy beach tgis wkend (hopefully) and im gonna try to target salmon and tailor. Should i use metals or just the old ganged pilly? My combo is an 8' general purpose with a 5000 reel. It can chuck something out pretty far but if something goes wrong i can always fish the lake. Thanks

Taking the kayak out on narrabeen lake and i prefer using bait rather than lures. I have two rods and i dont know how to rig up baits or what to use. Can anyone help me?

Heading to the entrance for the first time in a couple of days, and i was wondering if anyone could tell me where i could pump yabbies for bait and hopefully catch some bream or flathead. Thanks

Middle head to grotto point is my limit, but i can go past the spit in the other direction.

I am looking to hire a boat from the balmoral boatshed after christmas to fish middle harbour for jews/flatties. Does anyone know any good holes that hold jew or any SP places for flattys? Obviously i can catch live yakkas for bait from the wharf but what would be the best way to fish them? On a float or pinned to the bottom? Is it worth burleying? Thanks

Hi guys, I was wondering what the best bait for beach fishing was, and how to rig them targeting salmon and tailor, I heard that if you catch a salmon you should fillet it and put it out for jewies. Thanks

Hi guys I was wondering if i was allowed to fish off the island at balmoral, between Balmoral beach and Edwards? If so, what gear should I use there? Lure, bait, tackle? Thanks

Hi guys, I am heading down to Narrabeen today and I was wondering if anyone knew any good landbased spots or how to hire a kayak there if possible. Also what bait to use and I have a 5' pearl minnow I picked up. Targeting whatever is in ther lake. Thanks guys.

I am pretty sure you can, I mean i have seen loads of people catch stuff there before

This is a chat, not a report. I think u posted in the wrong place buddy.

Should I burley? Thanks

Hi guys I was wondering how to catch trevalley off the wharf. I am going to the bayview wharf in burwood after watching some people catch 3 big ones. Whats the best shape hook to use? I can get chicken but not prawns and have yellowtail for bait. Which of these baits would you say is the best for trevalley in the estuary? What kind of rig should I use? They were dropping the baits right off the wharf so you know. Thanks guys.

Nice job on the haul mate, never even seen a pike up close before. Be interesting to catch one.

Hey guys, I was looking around for a regular, estuarine place to fish in my free time targeting bream and flathead. I have a little experience catching these species but knowledge on baits and rigs would be greatly appreciated. I live near roseville chase but was wanting to expand my searches to the southren edge of the cowan creek and hawkesbury river. Thanks

Hey guys, Heading down on the weekend to a friend's boat for a fish offshore. What should I expect? I have a 7 foot shimano 2-4 kilo combo with a 2500 reel spooled with 8lb braid. Is this good or should I break out the 12 foot surf? As for bait I have frozen yellowtail and squid. I also have a metal blade/stinger I picked up. Slowjigging I think its called? Anyway what should I expect/do to catch whatever I can catch? A kingfish, mahi mahi or snapper would be nice but maybe I am aiming to high. Sorry for the long post but I have no idea sinceI have always been landbased. Cheers Wolfie

And when are the fish there?
