Is there such thing as too much baitfish in the water?
turtleeater replied to thecosbykids's topic in Fishing Chat
I've had moments like that in the hacking before. The baitfish were mostly whitebait and were schooling around my feet on the flats. I used 10 gram metals and 4 inch plastics to catch a 40cm tailor 2 60cm flatties a 40 cm bream and 45 cm trevally. But it really depends on what lures you are using and what baitfish are around you. -
To be honest i reckon the penn clash 2's are a good choice for light reels. They aren't built as heavily as the penn battle 3's but have the same strength and salt water protection. they are also on sale at certain shops at the moment

Bonito haven't come down in schools at this time of the year...
-
Any idea what other saltwater fish will take these lures? I have a few lying around and I haven't had the time to travel inland to target some trout. Thanks

Raiders hit the Hawkesbury and hit paydirt😁

I see you are trying to undermine Yowie's reputation -
What species of leather jacket is this? (Velvet Leatherjacket)
turtleeater replied to whiskey299's question in The Aquarium
It looks a bit like a smooth leatherjacket (also called velvet leatherjacket) -
No flatties today? A flounders still a bonus tho
-
Nice haul of flatties. Enough for a few meals at least
-
This is a very helpful website for learning how to target specific species. I've leant a lot from this website already.
-
Thanks Donna but I've already watched it.
-
Thanks, I've never caught anything on plastics even though I've spent over $50 on them. Maybe I can get a first?
-
Tides are important for most species as it controls what direction the baitfish travel in and then where the predators would be located. For example, people normally pump nippers at low tide so when it's high tide, the water covers the sand banks and the predators come looking for an easy feed.

Thanks I might message you soon

Any suggestions of how to make a live bait rig for Jewies. I'll probably be using live whiting, yakkas or slimies
-
Thanks for the advice. I was planning to fish in the bay because I don't think I have the correct gear for offshore and I don't know how to fish offshore. I'll definitely try pumping some nippers for flathead and whiting. I might try catching some garfish but I normally target yellowtail for live bait. Thanks again for the information.

Thanks, I've got all my gear I need and my reels are both fully spooled (one with 10lb braid and the other with 40lb braid). I've fished in Sydney for over 4 years so I think I understand the basics. I've caught plenty of Whiting, Flathead and Tailor around my area.
-
Thanks for the warning. Don't want my holiday ruined like last time.
-
Thanks, My buddy knows nothing about fishing. He asked me to buy all the gear and bait for him and is waiting for someone to teach him (hopefully not me) Cheers mate

Thanks mate

Since lockdown is probably ending in soon, I thought I might go up to Port Stephens for a break with my friend in his holiday house during December and January. He has a private jetty and a boat but does anyone know what fish species are up there and what gear do I need. Also can anyone recommend me some bait for up there? BTW I have a 2-4kg rod and a 8-15kg rod Thanks in Advance

Great work!!! Amazing fish
-
Can't wait to try Sydney Harbour. I might go for some sportfish such as Bonito or Mack Tuna during summer. Never caught any pelagics before. 😥

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
