    Hey fish raiders.

    im itching to get out fishing.

    is there any lonely fishing legends out there with a boat and can get us on some good fish and a good day out?

    im willing to ring in sick through the week or weekends are free. I’m good for paying my way.

    Also be good for learning the ins and outs of boating as I will have one soon.

     

    give me a message and we can catch up if keen.

    regards 🎣

    Hey guys yeh sorry for the brag with no info lol. 
    basicly done a night session in Hawkesbury system on a sand bank. 
    3rd time fishing this location and between me and my mate 2 nice size Jew has been caught. 
    I left my saltiga reel at home due to sand and opted for the Shimano bait runner. Boy did that reel run. Awesome reel. Took me a good five minutes to get this Jew in after a lot of runs. Great fight off the land. 
    returned after a picture and swam away beautifully. 
    The shark was also a great fight. 
    I highly recommend them bait runners off the land. I was using 30lb braid with 50 lb Fluoro leader.. bit overkill but I’m new to Australia waters and I’ve heard there is some big fish out there. I was using full squid baits from a shop. So not fresh and still got a good nights worth of fish. 
     

    there was a moment what had me abit gutted but as I picked up my rod on the left as it was getting a few little bites something nearly took the rod out my hands. I can’t believe the power/heavy of this take but my drag was too loose on the saltist reel and as I tried tightening the drag into it I didn’t keep the pressure on and it was off. This fish had to be a monster the way it pulled. As every fisherman has experienced “I would loved to know what that was” 

    learn from your mistakes

    few little port Jackson’s came in aswell and a 60cm flathead

    cant wait to get back out and hopefully have another fight again.

     

    happy 🎣

    I have some experience on boat fishing but I’m new to Australia with very little experience on fishing Australia. Not much help but if you find a crew and have a space free I’m happy to join and pay my way. 👍🏼

    No fish but awesome day

    Headed to Avoca this morning and what a day. 

    Spinning off the rocks and had a taste of something big. Screaming reel with 3 big runs. Then gone ?.   Clean cut on my leader lost lure. What do you guys think it was.? We had a few follow up to the rock edge by kingfish and they looked near the metre mark. They were big. 

    Couple lads brought in some nice big salmon.

    and to top the day off I seen a 5 ft bull shark surface within 2 metres straight in front of me with its gums and teeth gapping wide open. It showed its full body. Had my heart pumping. I bet that is not very common to see even in Australia. 

    I love this place ???

    I need to get some serious hours in to land my first Australian fish. Shame it’s a long drive or I would be there everyday chasing that fish I lost. 

    Till the next time ?

    Hey 

    looking for a fishing buddy with abit knowledge in good spots and techniques , 32 year old with some what fishing experience. I would like to go towards the salt water and get involved with the pelagics. I can fly fish aswell so I wouldn’t turn down a trip into the mountains.

    I’ve been on here before looking but forgot my details.

    im from Penrith so be good to find someone near by aswell so I wouldn’t have to go long distances by myself.

    but can’t be picky I guess.

     

    tight lines ?
