There are a group of guys on yotube deep into this area. If you search for Brigsy Fishing, Brooksy fishing or cavdog fishing you will uncover a wealth of information going back the last 5 or 6 years of their experimentation with lures off the rocks in this area. The three of them started with a channel on YT called Morning Tide FIshing and now all run very successful channels each as well as continue to fish together all over the world. Hope this helps Steve

thanks bluefin, will give it a shot this weekend.

Hi Guys Looking for some advice on what reel to pair my shimano cranx 4-7kg rod with. I have 3 spinning reels, a 2000, 2500 and a 4000. The last reel is brand new and was a shameful impulse buy. Am i better off putting the 2000 or 2500 on the cranx compared to the 4000 and run 8 or 10lb braid to keep it as light as possible or is the 4000 paired with it a reasonable option? Target species are what you all seem to call bread and butter. I am using pretty much only soft plastics ( 98% of the time) and i fish along the hawksbury river or a bit further up the coast. disclaimer: I am very new to fishing.

I am heading there tomorrow at sunrise, hearing good things about it the last few days. WIll report bacl

thanks guys, for context I like supporting small businesses instead of the large chains that tend to run the smaller ones out of town. Apologies to the mods if my request was against the rules.

Hi Guys I am new to the forum and I consider myself brand new to fishing after taking a break for 33 years, so gone back to basics as i adopt this wonderful past time once again. My question for now is are any members able to recommend a decent tackle shop around these ways that isn't one of the big non personal shops. Nothing wrong with either just looking for something with better service, quality gear and knowledge of the local area. All feedback welcome

Nice catch, thanks for sharing. I am now local in this area and see a lot of dodgy activity at nights when I walk my dog which is annoying to say the least. Lots of flathead action the last week!
