  1. Cheers mate!! @kingie chaser 

    especially in times like these. Being land locked at the house, I’m sure someone will see this and do something way better!

    Great minds think alike mate. thats pretty much what I do. The eski come from Kmart and came with 3 smaller Eski’s and an eski bag. It’s worked out great so far.

    but mate.. lights?!!  😮😮 Why the hell didn’t I think of that?!  Thats sick! 

    gonna try work that in somehow.

    and yeh a motor and suspension and damn!! That the ultimate rig right there!

  2. Hey guys I get a few comments when I go fishing about this little rig I drag around, so I decided to make YouTube video on how I put it together, figured I’d share it here and hopefully it helps a few of you out there.
    All supplies from Kmart and Bunnings.

    Caught a fair few while fishing shallow spots outside for bream

    I was thinking that one day it’d be a bycatch when having a flick for some night time bream. IMy guess is that they just don’t stay around places i fish at night 😂😂

    Hi Killemjohnny- there are no dumb questions about fishing- just things yet to be learned and this forum is the best place to ask! We used to get heaps of them at night, both off the rocks and in Sydney Harbour, especially Sow and Pigs reef. Look up "Reminiscing-Silver Trevally" in search engine

    Thanks mate! Just signed up the last week and already have added a lot to what I know! Spewing I didn’t join the community earlie!

  4. Hey guys, 

     

    just wanted to know if it’s possible to target trevally at night time? I’ve caught em during the day. But never during the night. Seen some videos were people do. But never in my limited personal experience.

    sorry if this a dumb question. 
    tried to search something but couldn’t find anything here.

    All good mate, who knows I may even get the itch again.

    I used to go 3 to 4 times a week and focused on Squidding and 9 times out of 10 caught nothing but did get to see others catching and watched what they did what type of jigs they used etc. Practice Practice Practice!!! and you will meet some great people along the way, in-fact I enjoyed land-based fishing more then fishing from the boats that I owned.

    I recently sold my Brooker 435 as it was just collecting dust in my garage and when I did take it out I was more focused on looking after my daughters rod and just driving the boat and pushing the family to come out as the interest was just not there anyway slightly off topic!!!.

    As a starting point I would use google maps and have a look around at areas that you can get to in a reasonable amount of time, you can then go onto maritime NSW and get boating maps for the areas you choose to get a rough idea on depths and try a particular spot and keep journal entries looking at tides and see what works best. 

    A good starting point for you would be the Parramatta river but just be sure to adhere to rules and regulations as some places you cant fish from and you may have to deal with crowds from time to time.

    Places like Gladesville are well known, Greenwich, Chiswick.

    Good Luck and enjoy your fishing.

     

    Regards,

     

    Nathan

    Haha that’s it mate. Me and the old man used to catch heaps as a kid but last few time I’ve went out for a squid I caught the donut 😂😂

    I didn’t know they had maps showing the depths. I’ve been actually trying to find that info online but it’s not always easy finding the info, cheers! 
     

    hehe good old parramatta river! I used to live closer to there and fish it regularly. Actually have had a few decent catches in there! Caught a few 40cm bream and some nice flatty’s there back in the days but that was years ago now! Fished Gladesville a few times but didn’t know the area that well. I’m just too much of creature of habit haha used to always revert back to where I knew best.

    this time  round I wanna do a bit more exploring and break those habits!

     

    Thanks again, Nathan!

    and mate it’s all good. Haha Not much can put me off wanting to go out fishing! And totally get the go with fishos and keeping spots secret and all that. 
    figured I’d just throw it out there and see who replies!

    you from Sydney bro? 
    mid so maybe I’ll see you out there one of these days! 
     

    cheers mate!

     

  7. Hey Frank! 
     

    Yeh Definitely keen to take the time and meet some you local fishos on here. 
    Don’t mean to sound like I’m just looking to hijack someone’s boat or anything. If that’s how it came across.
    I’m just happy to be out fishing regardless 🙂.

     

    I think I saw your post as well, and mate if you ever need a hand or heading out to a land spot I’m free every Thursday and like I said happy just to be out fishing.

    if you ever need someone, send me a message mate! 

  8. cheers For the reply Nathan! 
    And mate definitely know what that’s like. I had a pretty rough year myself and went on a fishing hiatus, but Yh finally finding a bit of time to get there.                                But yeh for sure doing the homework and looking at a few places for info! Been hovering over this page for a while but decided to sign up the other day. Would’ve been good to meet ya out there! Maybe one day in the future. 

    will post up whatever I’ve learnt. Always happy to help out where I can.

     

    cheers again mate!

  9. Thanks for the club recommendations. 
     

    well that was the point of the post. To get out n meet some likeminded people. I’m heading out anyways. So was throwing it out there incase anyone wanted to join. Didn’t know you needed  years of building rapport to do that here...

     

    cheers

  10. What’s up fishos!

    just seeing if anyone wants to head out on Sunday? Anywhere around Sydney, whatever type of fishing! Wouldn’t mind chasing some squid as well! 

    Don’t have a boat or anything but I got a car and wouldn’t mind some land based  or if you need a decky I’m down and happy to chip in! 
     

    would love to learn some pelagic jigging tips as well. So if someone’s willing to teach me, I’d definitely be happy to learn 🙏🏽

    hit me up if you’re keen!

  11. What’s up guys!! 
     

    My names Johnny.  I’m 28 from sydney. Been a landbased bait fisherman for years, but recently got into a bit of jig fishing with a mate!

    i don’t have too many fishing mates so it’d be sick to find a few people to have a regular fish with.
    Would love to get into more jigging and  out for a fish in general. 

    so if you need someone to head out with hit me up! Especially if you get thursdays n sundays off 


    🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
