  1. I can't remember the knot now but the consensus seems to be to respool I guess.
  2. I've got a reel with mono, braid and fluro carbon. The knot between mono and braid seems to not hide under the braid. I'd left the mono on to avoid braid slipping on the reel. Now, When I throw the line out with bait, the braid will flow out until it randomly gets stuck on this knot. What's the best solution for this? Pic for reference below
  3. Maybe they make a stew or curry out of the fish, in which case there's plenty of liquid along with a little meat. That's certainly how fish(and meat) is eaten in the Eastern and Southern India.
  4. My colleague reckons it symbolises the performance appraisal. Just as the fish gets close, the bait is pulled 😛
  5. So we did a Sip n Paint for our team Christmas event. Te presento - El Snapero come El Prawno Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays season to you all! P. S. Rest assured, I won't be quitting my day job
  6. Sunday night fishing land based at Berowra waters. Tide: Rising Time: 9-10:30pm Bait: Salted Blue Bait Summary: Night fishing off the rock wall at Berowra. Pretty quiet mostly. Caught a baby jew about 20 ish cm from head to tail.
  7. Holidaying over the weekend in Coledale, Wollongong coast. I had two sessions close to our home for the weekend on a Rock Ledge This was my first go at fishing in full blown ocean environment and I can't say I had the right gear. I lost plenty of sinkers and hooks to sea grass but it was still fun to hang with friends and my daughter while fishing. Bait: Salted pilchards Blue Bait Tide: Low tide Catch: a few babies Anyone know what this is?
  8. Just had a look, that's impressive. I'll PM you about the area. It's no where near my local so it'd good to have knowledge about it.
  9. I'm just gonna ask the stupid newbie question. Does the Full Moon have a negative effect?
  10. Is there a park or something under the bridge?
  11. Location: Spit West park Date/Time: Sunday night 6th Nov, Dusk onwards Tide: Falling from high point. High Tide was 7.40pm Moon: Full moon Bait: Salted Whitebait, Salted Prawn Summary Its been over 1 year since I started fishing. Went out to one of the places where I caught a fish first time. Bait got taken multiple times. Nothing big to report. Baby fish only, no bigger than 10cm. Good view though. Saw a squid swim by. Unfortunately, didn't want to eat whitebait.
  12. It might be an advantage of the rain/moon/mud but there were no pickers, little fish. I didn't get a bite until I had a big bite.
  13. Night session at Berowra Waters tonight. Start: 7.15pm Tide: Rising, peak around 10pm Type: Bait and Lures Conditions: Full moon, very muddy water from the heavy rain, little to no wind, no rain, great night for fishing Summary: Rigged 2 rods, 1 bait and 1 lure Started the night with a soft plastic which got stuck in something down the bottom first cast. Switched to crankbait. No luck. Tried slow, fast, stop in the middle, nothing worked. Switched to bait rod. No hits for a while and them bam legal size bream. Cleaned and taken for home. 5 minutes later, another bream but not legal 22cm. No more significant hits. Ended session at 9.15pm.
  14. 10/12foot rod to run lures? Isn't that a bit much?
  15. Going on a vacation with a few couples. One of the guys is into fishing so keen on dipping the line. Lots of rocks around. I don't have the skills or the equipment for Rock Fishing but keen to know what to target in areas where beach meets Rocks. Seems a small beach, will it still have structure(gutters, sandbanks). Any estuary/jetty/rockwall type of fishing in the area?
  16. I've often wondered if I'll be able to flick better with my stronger right hand.
  17. I've heard there are a 100 year old spoon lures still made the same was as back then. Out of curiosity, Did Fish get better at recognizing them or people simply got bored of them?
  18. Yea she bought it off a shop owned by Bezos. It's called BlueFire so I'm not surprised it's American.
  19. My Wife bought me a travel rod for Father's day. Maybe she wants to travel the world Fishing with me 😂 The rod itself I haven't got around to yet but the package had some assorted lures, tiny SPs and spoons. Will these Spoons work for Tailor, etc? Any other species? They are fairly light but the hook end is on the smaller side? These SPs are tiny. I've added my watch face for comparison. What hook size jig would I need for these?
  20. Well done. Is it pitch black there or there is some light. I think you're on the boat ramp on the Berowra side.
  21. Good trip Baz. I loved the people in Bali.
  22. Would this work off a Pier or Wharf on low tide?
  23. When you say bring fish in close, what do you mean exactly? And by heavily, do you mean 1 ball of berley every 30 mins?
