[North Harbour snapper, squid, kingfish]

Hey Mate,

Great report and welcome. Just watch out with squidding around reef beach and crater cove as they are in the North Harbour aquatic reserve (no fishing for squid or cuttlefish) so you can avoid a sticky situation with a DPI officer.

[Rod Suggestions]

Hi All,

I purchased an Alvey Orbiter 100 a while ago and never put it to much use. Its got PE 1.2 braid on it (~20lb) and i need a rod for it. Im looking to use it to cast around bigger vibes and bigger soft plastics ie 5-6 inch jerkshads etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

[Flats around botany bay]

Hi All,

does anyone know any flats around botany bay that are good for flicking plastics and vibes. Tried to do some research and found that apparently some decent bream gather around the rock walls on Brighton Le sands beach, but it seems like quite an exposed spot to the weather. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 👍

[Live bait squid rigs]

 

1 hour ago, campr said:

Most common way is a snooded 2 hook rig with top hook through top point of hood taking the weight of the bait and 2nd hook in head or water jet tube.  Some use a treble for 2nd hooh wwith just 1 tang in bait. 

Are you talking live or dead squid?  Ron 

Hey mate, live squid. Im familiar with snelled hooks for squid but a bit more wondering if i should use it with a float or sinker or no weight at all. I am fishing landbased aswell.

Thanks for the help guys

[Cremorne Point LightHouse]

Hey Everyone,

the other day i went down to cremorne point, and fished around the lighthouse area off the rocks. I was consistently losing my bait but wasnt feeling any bites and frequent snags. I also tried some soft plastics for a bit but had some trouble with toadies nipping off the tail. Anyone have any advice on certain rigs or baits that they have used to fish around here previously.

Cheers

[Bait Around Lane Cove]

Hi Everyone, thanks for the help.

I went down today and went through a few different service stations till i found one that sold some bait. Bought a bag of pillies and prawns and went down to my local jetty. Caught a few yakkas and decided to chuck a smaller one out live and hooked up to what i thought was a rat king. Turned out to be a 55cm + Sambo!

Hey everyone, have gotten back into fishing recently and I'm trying to find some spots within my 5km radius to buy some bait. If anyone knows any spots within 5km of the lane cove plaza that would be greatly apprecieated.
