You could also consider Penn Fathoms or Squalls. Fathoms are full metal while Squalls are graphite and under the budget you have. Or just under for the Fathom.

Cheers

I checked these out, the fathoms are a really nice reel.

All good suggestions. And I still can't really make my mind up but I think I might go with the ocea jigger 1500.

Hi Raiders I'm looking purchasing a new outfit for slow jigging and I'm looking at the shimano jewel jig overhead 6'6" pe3 rod (open to sugestions) but am stuck picking a reel. So I have come here for some expert input! Any recommendations much appreciated.

Plenty on the reefs just south of Port Islands, anywhere from 15m to over 100.

South of port islands I was under the impression that there was not much reef that way and mostly sand, I usually fish NE out of port harbour in the 40m mark.

Hmm odd I haven't found any. Cheers.

Smaller reds will eat most baits  most of the big reds i catch are on the heads of slimies yakkas pike seargent baker and even sweep  strip baits and pillys will catch you good fish but i stand by big bait big fish      and dont discount liveys

I'm definitely going to give the heads a go! I have had good results with bakers too.Thanks

G'day raiders, What sort of depths and areas should I have looking at for finding some nannys, I launch out of port kembla usually and head north I know they are around but can't find any. 

[Snapper bait]

What's everyone's preferred go to snapper bait? Just got me thinking as I was loading up on some yakkas that I'm goin to salt. I think for me it would have to be slimy mackerel. I also managed a small cuttle fish that  will turn into bait but haven't had great success with cuttle fish. L

[Finding Squid from the boat Wollongong/port kembla]

G'day fishos, any tips on fishing for squid off the boat I'm a newbie to boating, off the stones I have no problem getting more than enough but have not had much success from the boat. Some weed bed locations would help also I have only tried around toothbrush and alongside the southern breakwall.

Thanks mate. How do you go about rigging them? Single hook through the nose with a sinker to keep them down? I'm guessing there is probly a few different styles. 

[Artificial reef off port kembla.]

Hi Fishos, 

Any one fished the new artificial reef off perkins beach ? Onterested to hear feedback was just thinking about it today and realised I never fished that way before. Also does any one have any spots to fish i don't want your secret spot but some points of interest or general area to put me onto a few fish would be awesome. Cheers

Thanks mate 

[Best filleting knife]

I have 9 or 10 fileting knifes (I have a knife problem I know )  and I constantly use the same knife it's a semi flex 150mm blade I think it's a rapala I like the shorter blade lengths even on larger fish. As previously mentioned you get what you pay for but regardless you need to keep a sharp knife.

[Fishing off portkembla/wollongong]

I recently bought a boat and I am Looking for some decent spots to try off port kembla /wollongong area. Not looking for your actual gps points but a rough area to try i have a decent sounder but have not really been able to find any reef/rock areas any tips much appreciated.
