[Foreshore Drive Ramp parking fiasco]

Photos of the cars number plates parked in the space is enough for council to send a fine. 

Most of the time thats all the Rangers do, they take photos get back to the office and write out the fines.

Best of luck

Did the Ludderick take a nipper?

[Tiller prop torque steer]

Should be a little wing nut to stop it turning. Could be on the smaller tillers but might be worth a look. 

We used to call it autopilot nut

Aah, part of the floor explains everything. Good idea for keeping bass live and 100L is impressively huge

[bait tank switch]

How come you need to pump out the live bait tank? Most have a hose at the top that just goes overboard. Is there an advantage im not seeing?

[Coupla hours]

I was down there sat night, was more packed than down town Beirut but did manage a feed. Gonna try Lake Mun tonight.

Good Work

That's why I don't rock fish!

I'll stick to the boat or the beach.

Ive been stuck in a rip in 8ft surf and i guarantee its not worth a feed.

[Razor Fish Lake Mac]

Hi All,

I watched a fishing show on tele on the weekend they were catching Whiting using Razor Fish as bait. 

I know there are Razor Fish in Lake Macquarie, i have been lucky enough not to find one the hard way yet ie stepping on them, so im wondering where i might find them?

Cheers

[Mullet]

Im not from that area but you might struggle for poddys in the colder months

@antonywardle yes there’s a few things to look for on the way out, but it’s fairly safe if you’re careful and go out in sensible conditions. One of the better bars. A decent tide runs, maybe 6 knots max at full capacity, which can create that washing machine effect, especially against a sea breeze. You can radio or phone the coast guard stationMARINE RESCUE WE ARE NOT AMERICAN lolololol

When we have marine parks and other anti fishing agendas such animal rights people to worry about why would you countenence such an idea?

What else would you do?

[Snapper Fishing Ban Mooted for South Australia]

Without changing the topic, a complete ban on all fishing in some areas and in some cases i would definitly support. If a ban were proposed for tuggerah, budgewoi and lake munmorah for 3 years it could only help. Not as sure about bans in the ocean, fish do swim around.

[Any pointers for Lake Macquarie?]

If you start doing all-nighters in the boat, stay about 10m south of pullbar for the night with legal Taylor as live bait. Results in Jewies.

Good Luck

[Any Tuna Offshore ATM?]

About 70ks out. South apparently

[Lake Mac 30/6/19]

Hi All,

Went out Lake Mac Saturday night for a all nighter with a mate, was pretty slow when we got there, sun went down and the wind picked up (usually the other way around) so we moved for cover. Went south of pulbar and anchored for the night. Burley went out and the white bait come in, 5 squid, then Taylor, lots of Taylor. Caught one just legal and put him on the heavy rod. Not much happen after that for a few hours so we blew up the air mattress and had a sleep. Few hours later a reel screams and i jump up only to find its the Taylor waking up and running off, put him back where he was. An hour after that and the reel is screaming again, i grabbed it (still in sleeping bag) and knew it was not the taylor getting some exercise. 2 great big runs and some head shakes in between and this guy was on board.

Went 92cm and guestimated 7.5 to 10 kg

Pretty happy with my first Jewie
