Hello everyone, I've heard allot about fishes being caught most at certain seasons, times of year, however everywhere I look there seems to be some sort of grey area with no source that's black and white so to speak. do fish really have seasons? Apologies for the novice question! Cheers, oz.
-
Great catch Lotta meat on the big fella/Sheila lol where in Ulladulla did you fish? Don't need the exact spot just the place if you can! Cheers, oz.

Hi Mowie, was out on the lake a few weeks ago, came up with nothing. Hopefully with the weather warming up things will kick off! ,Oz.
-
I was hoping to catch some too... well atm the legal limits are any size, but 5 fish for the bag... Have heard allot there not good eating, yet to see for myself. Cheers, Oz.

Ah cheers man yep will be trying the breakwall for the lake next time.. high or low tide? I live in Wollongong, willing to catch anything lol still in the hunt for my first legal fish.. Will be fishing a rocky platform near the wollongong harbour or near city beach which look more promising. Cheers I really appreciate your help!

I fished at reddall reserve, opposite the right side of the bridge. i had a look google maps and if I'm right it showed the area as where water from the ocean pours in through into the the lake... I don't think hunk I'll be going back there, never been lucky there and lines get tangled when crowded... will be trying a new spot that's deeper and covers more water land based at the lake. as for the harbour I went down to wollongong harbour... not in its prime for years now.. might try a rocky platform nearby that might produce..... Hahah it's been pretty rough here in the Illawarra... windy with hard swells. Will be going out sometime next week again hopefully with calmer conditions. Cheers, Oz.

Hi all! Decided to try my luck today at the mouth of Lake Illawarra, using my light shimano spin Rod combo, 2-4kg until I buy my proper saltwater gear. Had this rod since I was a young boy. Anyway it was a fine sunny day perfect temperature, with a bit of breeze as I was in the hunt for my first legal fish! i was there an hour before high tide at 10:00am, there was a few punters already there and then more came later on. The swell was far too strong pushing the line back to the banks. Being a inexperienced but knowledgeable fisho I packed up knowing it wasn't to be as did the other regular fishos. feeling hungry to catch a fish (mentally) lol, I went to a local harbour to try my luck.... found a good spot only to be crowded by kids jumping off into water, understandable! as I fished a saw a massive stingray gliding through the water probably reducing my chances further... just as I decided to leave a school of bull poddy mullet swam right past my lure, they were a good size probably 30cm but weren't having a bar of my squidgies pro range slick rig, pilly camo. they fancy bread, peeled prawns and beach worms. also chated with a local that told me a charter out wide managed to get some flatties. all in all despite no fish for me (ughh!) I had a great day out by the water spending 2 hours fishing today different locations. Despite no fish again for me I will not give up in the hunt for my first legal fish! I will be out trying again on Tuesday. 🎣 Cheers all, I hope you enjoyed reading my report, until next time! Tight lines! 👍👌🏼😄

Great trip mate loved reading the report! Wouldn't it be a laugh if you found that flatty with the lure still stuck in its mouth next time! -
Brilliant thank you very much, I shall list those places you mentioned and add them to my list ?
-
Mate thank you so much I will definitely have a go at what you said, awesome ? Thats is a beautiful flathead!! Tiger? i love the slick rigs, so easy to just tie them up without tying a hook, jig, sinker etc... I've got the pro range, pilly, with S factor as well how should I work the lure? Just drop it in and hope or move it up everyone now and then? Cheers man, Oz.

Ah mate sounds like my fishing trip on Friday, but on a much larger scale! Sounds like a few fishos have had a tough run as of late...
-
And you get filthy with the sinkers.... " you had one job!"
-

Went out today to try my luck down at a local harbour using soft plastics. Really poor conditions, high winds ruining any chance of a fish for this weekend at least. One other fisherman was there and managed to catch a short fin eel.. After a few casts decided it wasn't to be and left, as the did the other fisherman and we both left. i think it's great to be able to talk with others and assess the fishing prospects.
-
I got some squidgies bio tough plastic and slick rigs pro range with Sfactor, so giving them a crack atm. (Soft plastics) really don't mind the species I love all fish! Land based fishing ? Cheers mate appreciate it!

Ah fantastic I shall have a geez at them, thank you!
