Hey guys,
Headed out late last night (9:30) to fish the run out tide on the flats, the weather was 10/10. Decided to fish the flats for some whiting but no luck on whiting. After couple of hours dropped down a pillie cube to see if that gets anything, no movement in the line after 15min so pulled it up and it had some weight! head shakes! 80cm flathead!!
Caught on a Rovex 1-3kg squid rod, 10lb braid, 15lb flurocarbon and a size 2 black magic
This is my PB for flat head, I can't imagine catching a 90cm.

Hello,
I am hoping someone can give me some advice or tips with this
I have a brooker 415 with a 30hp 2 stroke yamaha.
When I have it in forward gear and just on idle if i left go of the handle the engine will full turn to the left (boat goes right)
I have put a down rigger on my boat now and need that minute or two when the boat can go straight to set up the line.
any solutions for this? -
All night the weather was clear but around 11 some light rain cloud patches had came.

Hello,
Left Sydney yesterday at 5:30 heading to Brooklyn in search of the silver slab! Traffic was flowing so didn't take us long get there. We set off at 6:45.
First we tried flint and steel only catching 1 undersized snapper and the this crab (both released).
We moved to railway bridge, no luck then moved to hawkesbury river bridge and had some luck with flathead 1 measuring 38cm and another at roughly 45-50cm. Also monster shovel nose which was released.
We packed up at midnight.
If anyone has a spot for jews in the hawkesbury their willing to share please dm me-

Hi Guys,
Weather was awesome last night so went out chasing some squid.
Dropped off at foreshore ramp around 7pm and went over to kurnell, dropped a squid light in and drifted a few times with no luck.
Moved to yarra bay drifted with and without the light still no luck. Last spot of the night tried La parouse with the light in some deeper water and we hit the spot. Packed up 10:30pm. Biggest hood measursing 24cm. Boated 3 lost 1.-

Hi Guys,
Dropped off at drummoyne and headed to abbotsford bay around 8:30pm
We didn't have much luck to be honest, only fish we caught was this 30cm Bream.
Packed up around midnight and that's why it is called fishing not catching.-

Hi Fisholb,

Morning guys,
This morning headed to Foreshore road boat ramp and docked in just before 5am.
Cruised over to the cans i think you guys call it for some yakkas. We managed to pull in 10 using sabiki jigs with some bread and some pilchard.
We moved on to molineaux point, on the yarra bay side but only had small fish stealing our bait. We tried dropping a yakka down but only managed to tangle our lines. After about 1 hour we relocated to pretty much on the corner of molineaux point. Some more small bites but nothing exciting.
8am on the dot, last line going in decided to put a full pilchard. Within 2 minutes line starts screaming and pulls to the left tangles with couple of other rods but got them sorted then comes back around. After a nice fight on light gear I got it to the surface, Kingfish! No net i pull the rod back to grab the line then decides to go for another run and snaps the line!
After that nothing, packed up because had to be at work soon 😱
Need some advice on what to do with live yakkas. We normally are anchored. Sinker? no sinker? balloon? what is the trick with them? -
Hi Guys, only recently joined and first time posting on this forum.
Arrived to nelson bay around 11pm Saturday night, checked weather all seemed fine and hit the bed to be ready for a early morning.Woke up and headed to the petrol station then tackle world which was conveniently open at 6am for a bag of pillies, some spare hooks and sabiki jigs.
We dropped off the boat at little beach boat ramp around 6:45am and heading to cabbage tree island for some live bait (slimy mackerel) which was pretty easy, we were pulling up 2 on average every drop.
Headed over to the FAD which wasn't extremely busy and landed us some dolphin fish, 6 legal and kept for dinner with around 4-5 under sized thrown back. After a few drifts the birds got on to us and started stealing our bait then headed off to north rock to try for snapper. I managed to land a 40cm snapper and my mate landing a 32cm one.
Pretty happy with our catch we headed home with our dinner sorted.
Monday morning we docked a bit later roughly 7:30am headed shoal bay to try squiding, we managed to get one but broke off. Then on to cabbage tree island and got ourselves some yellow tail. We planned to stay inshore and aim for Flathead or jew fish but were unsuccessful. We called it quits and headed home.
When we were pulling the boat in we seen some guys cleaning a 1.24m jewfish they caught in the bay on a live yellow tail.-
