faker

Oddly enough I was at both spots except Rushcutters but was early in morning

Boat or land?

So the swell was 2m south, although I know ledges that are possibly safe off the rocks that face north. I don't want to chance it there and not be able to fish. So it's been a while since I fished harbour but back to places in mosman. I am not normally a squid fisho and I only catch them opportunistically ,also I want to try new spot. Initially I tried @DerekDadvice of float and squid jig due to spot being snaggy but I found not being able to work my jigs uninteractive. So instead I tried at first the Japanese style then switched to my variation of @DerekDwalk the dog with double hop instead and letting it sink 5 seconds. If squid sees it it will swim up to middle water column for it. During one of my flicks I felt a weight on rod and thought it was a large clump weed but it turned out to be calamari when I only have caught arrow heads squid previously. After nothing for a hour I switch to blades to cast clear of Kelp beds and see if new spot has flathead but caught nothing but main aim of prospecting new squid spot was done.

Definitely not, ideal i do a lot of shore jigging these days and have gotten quite good at it. my rod casts 20-80 g and i use PE 3 line but will switch to PE 1.5 with second spool to compensate for lost in casting distance when using 40g jigs For bonnies 40g to 60 g is fine but sometimes fish are really finicky and i have to use 20-40g jigs to cast far in which case i switch to my light shore jigging rod that i use in the harbour which casts up to 48g jigs. Off the rocks PE 1.5 landing a king is a scary prospect and depends on ledge fyi. DM me if you want to want to chat on it

dumb question, would this work for fishing the washes off the rocks?

Hi guys, want to sell reel with braid for $50 since I don't use this reel. Spooled with 8 lb noeby braid

I remember hanging around on balmoral beach and catching them on 6lb great fun but definitely get snipped easy or break off on bigger specimens. Could you just increase leader size to avoid snipping but still fish 6lb?

I love catching tailor but don't like what they do to Soft plastics.and my jigs. I normally switch to metals when chasing them or big hard bodies. Is the reptide a surface stickbait?

Thanks

Hi guys, got a question about the 3x, 4x and 6x strong on trebles/single hooks. Are they just a marketing ploy or some type of actual measurement

I kinda of always bring a flathead rag all the time. It's kinda of a must when fishing

Hi waza is the first or second photo south whale or the ovens proper? My friend sent me them after our session

I am going to need to.work harder on my bream technique after reading this. Getting complacent doing too many things at once

I will do, so far from my 12 trips so far since Feb, I have found that pre-planning has made it safe most of time and visiting the rock on high swell while not fishing and examining how waves hit the rock in location is very useful. I always have either my beach rod or light rod in car if things look crazy I go to Pittwater for flathead.

very well done. i struggle to get similar results on land. boat fishos make me drool at some of the stuff they catch but i will have to be content hanging around rocks for now
