    Hi there , you need to look up NSW fisheries ,  there are allot of rules  and regulations  that  you are not aware of ,  for example  you can not collect  bait  such as  crabs, worms  and  pink nippers anywhere in Sydney harbor ,  fisheries inspectors  may let you of with a warning  but   you may come across someone who will fine you , ..... im not a troll looking for an opportunity  to have a go at someone ,   take care .

     

    Yeah I'd like clarification on this. There are zones in sydney harbour you cannot collect bait but a lot of areas are open.

    Link is how i understand it... whats your understanding?

    If you just want to practice and not keep the fish...

    Silverwater... Fish across the water from Wilson park and just use soft plastics and blades... you will find what will work for you.

    Wentworth Point.. Soft plastics, blades and shallow divers along the point. Shallow divers for jews at the turn of the tide and turn of the light

    Rothesay Ave... off Bowden street. Used to flick here during lunch. Soft plastic works well. Fish the outlets for flatheads... fish shopping trolleys and rocks for bream

    Gladys bay.... Blades and shallow divers work well here.

    Pulpit point.. You can live bait for yellow tail here and jews as it gets deep. Divers and blades also work well for bread and butter

    I picked up the wrong keys as I headed out my front door not long ago & locked myself out of my apartment with no wallet & no mobile.

    Used the local chemists phone to call a local locksmith who arrived 20 minutes later,  60 seconds & 2 locks picked & Im in :thumbup:

    $150 later I wont be doing that again...………………….😏

     

    $2.50 per second, think Im in the wrong trade  😖

    I did that to a unit i used to live in... never again. Very next day i got a lock that does finger print, pin and phone unlock...

    In a house not and that's the first thing i did.. changed the locks to electronic... no more keys wish i could do the same to my car easily lol

    Seafood Paella

    in The Kitchen

    Posted · Edited by connico

    Are you going to invest in a traditional paella pan? They make all the difference as you get a really good crust on the bottom..

    I'm assuming you want to make a seafood paella.

    What you need to make for 4 people in a single 34cm paella pan. You can use a normal medium depth frying pan if you don't have one.

    • 250g mussels
    • 250gm clams
    • 2500gm prawns
    • 250gm fillet of fish - fish should be firm when cooked
    • 1/2 cup Parsley 
    • 4 cloves  garlic
    • 1 tbsp thyme
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    • 50ml olive oil
    • 1 small onion - finely chopped
    • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
    • 1 red capsicum - sliced
    • 2 large tomatoes - cubed
    • 2 cups bomba rice
    • 1 lemon
    • 1lt fish stock - chicken if you cannot find or cannot make

    Steps

    1. Wash and dry proteins. Sprinkle salt on fish fillets to extract excess water. Leave 10 mins and pat dry

    2. Heat stock to boiling and let simmer

    3. Add parsley, garlic, thyme and a pinch of salt into a mortar and pestle and mash to a paste. Add dash of olive oil if you need to form a fine paste

    3. Fry fish to colour. Do not fully cook through. 30 seconds each side will do and set aside

    4. Add olive oil, paprika, onions, scallions, capsicum and tomatoes to the pan. Fry till soft and pulpy (should take 2-3 minutes). Add rice and fry for 1 minute. Add liquid so that covers rice by 1/2 cm. Bring to rolling boil and then bring down heat to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes and stir every minute to ensure the rice does not stick.

    5. Add paste and stir in evenly. At this point the rice still should look soupy but the liquid should have reduced by half. If the rice is dry, add some additional liquid to cover the rice. Add fish only. Let cook for 10 minutes. Do not stir from this point on.

    6. Add rest of seafood. Push in the clams, mussels and prawns into the rice. make sure edge of mussels and clams are pointing up. Add additional stock if rice is not covered. Cook a further 10-15 minutes or till the rice is done.

    7. Take off heat once the rice is done. Test rice, it should be soft but provide a little bite. Cover in foil for 10 minutes and then serve with wedges of lemon and fresh chopped parsley.

    Note: If you want to add saffron to the liquid please do so. I left out saffron as its not to everyone's taste

    That looks like a Wirra Cod or old boot. If you want to eat it you will need to do either two things

    Scrape the skin of its slime before you gut and fillet. If you dont the slime will contaminate the skin and make it taste like old boot

    Or

    Kill it and spike the brain, put it in an ice slurry. DO NOT PUT ANY OTHER FISH IN THE SLURRY. Then take it home and poor boiling oil or water on the skin before gutting and steaming or frying whole.

    Help! Struggling to find string weed south

    Hi Raiders,

    Struggling to find string weed down south of sydney near the port hacking / georges river without buying it from Macs bait shop when he has it. Considering growing it again, last time I tried it the weed died after a while as it gets way to much sun in my backyard. I'll have to put some shade on it..

    Any raiders got weed that they could share for me to start my little weed growing box again?

    I have learnt some thing mullet must be the go I will have to try 

    Kings are not fussy regarding live bait. As long as your pin the mullet right they will take it. For really big kings though, Australian Salmon is the go mate...

    Is the www killing it for "oldies"?

    That's interesting (and surprising) Connico. Thanks for sharing mate. bn

     

    I've taken so many teens and there dads fishing and camping and its definitely bought them closer...

    Most kids don't get these experiences because their dads didn't have the time, money or knowledge. Mostly knowledge, dads growing up these days didn't get a chance because of the same thing.

    Teens and even young adults are most amazed when I teach them the basics of tying knots  and lighting fires. Like how to properly structure camp fire and how to get it to burn hot and smoke free....
