Mate thats a monster river reddie well done. Does anyone know if they get to anywhere near that size in middle harbour because all I can pull is undersize pinkie after pinkie.

[First fish on a Lure !! Happy Boy !]

Nice work, I'm in the same boat, have just started SP fishing in Sydney haven't got on the board yet hopefully soon

[Saturday's fishing adventure.]

Must've been frustrating, but still good to get out and catch a few fish for a feed.

[Allow Me To Introduce Myself]

Hey mate welcome. Fishing in Sydney's awesome, but occasionally it is tricky to find out what works and doesn't in different conditions. Just keep at it and you''l be in for a feed in no time don't worry. If i'm land-based i'll usually have a look at the satellite map the night before for good looking spots for your target species (rocky points, sand-flat drop-offs) and generally try to avoid highly fished areas like boat ramps. Good luck mate

[A great day out - pre-lockdown!]

Great report mate, we're all missing this.

[Last cast... Covid lock down. Chippo flathead on SPs]

Nice fish mate, I've been trying to get in sp's lately on a new setup with minnowz and grubz no luck yet but will keep persisting

[Bate Bay and Port Hacking weekend]

Nice job mate, making me jealous👏

Hello Raiders,

I'm a beginner in fishing and I decided to give it a try I soon became addicted and I am always willing to learn. This site seems to have a lot of info. I love filleting fish and even more, eating them. I am only 14 and I am based in Botany bay. I'm hoping to learn more about catching big fish in my area.

Thanks in advance, TE

Hey mate i'm 16 fishing is like that once you start you won't stop. Like the others said theres heaps of info on here just contribute and ask questions and you'll soon enough get pretty good at fishing

[Sometime you just have to be in the right place at the right time]

Mate thats awesome what a fish theres no way you would've expected that. Well done

[Finally cracked the PB Flattie in reef bay]

Wow thats a killer catch mate.

[Port Hacking]

Nice little report, haven't had much luck on any whiting lately.

[What's your thoughts?]

I remember finding a NSW government website a few months ago while I was thinking about the same thing. It had the percentage survival from release rates for each fish species. I can't find it but its worth a look.

[Port Stephens King Fish]

Have a sinker running to swivel and about 1.5m leader. Depends what depth you want your bait at and troll speed, but I usually try to keep it mid-water so a bean sinker the size of your pinkie usually works. Good luck.

[Jackets at the Gate]

Great story, I've had several expensive squid jigs stripped of their cloth in Jervis Bay when the jackets are swarming.

[Black cat]

Maybe an extremely rare birth of a fox with black fur pigments?

[Barrenjoey Flatties]

Well done thats a success mate even more satisfying in trying conditions.

[Restrictions to fishing]

I've heard rumours that on boat you can travel more than 10kms radius and that those rules don't apply, but can confirm they do I was out on the water today and had a chat to maritime who were out checking.

[Port Hacking jackets]

Well done mate even though jackets are a pest they make a mad feed. They've been going pretty nuts in the harbour as well lately, even caught one that was either a deformed or had half its body bitten off but survived.

Always good to get out for a fish mate well done
