29kg jewfish on 10kg maxima off the beach/rocks peter

hi roberta plenty of big mullet down here as well took 1loaf of bread down the rocks this morning for a bit of drummer fishing while berleying a huge fish jumped out of the water in front of me i thought maybe a sambo and a big one at that then realised it was a big school of mullet ended up with 7 nice fish all caught on my heavy 7144 alvey and 20lb tortue no drummer peter

fished the rocks at mona vale sunday morning for snapper all we could get were bronze whalers mate landed four and i got one up to 1meter good fun on the alveys peter

hi scrubby the lake hasd just been opened yesterday so should be good after all the dredging fish 2 hours before high tide in the hole close to the caravan park east of the boat ramp fish tides with a good run in [1.4 to 1.6] use weed or cabbage peter

hi booster next time try the north side of lion island about 100mts out there is a hole or crevice about 9mts deep [from memory] we used to motor out 100mts off the island until barrenjoey lighthouse just appeared in line with the front of the island if you have a sounder it would be easy to find this was 20years ago and used to fish well for jew and trag west head for slimeys and yakkas then fish the hole late afternoon into the night peter

looks good but pricey $250 peter

i was using 8lb trace in case i hooked a surgeon they were using 6lb just not my day today peter

went to mona vale pool 5.30 this morning to fish the washes for blackies seas were up and it was rough with a rising tide after 1or 2 casts my line was being picked up with a lot of kelp stirred up by the big swell so i started to pack up as it was unfishable just as i was leaving a mate came down to get some weed and ask if i wanted to fish cremourne wharf with him and his 2 mates arrived at wharf started berley and they were there had to set a running float at 20 ft my 3 mates caught about 12 big and fat blackies and 1 surgeon about 1.5 kg i did not get any after2hrs fishing the wharf is a floating one and with the s/w wind it was very choppy would you believe i started to get seasick so packed up and left my mates still fishing peter

i fillet and skin them pan fry in butter [2mins each side] serve them on mashed sweet potato with a few snow peas then mix masterfood taragon with butter and pour over the top easy and tasty peter

just got a september fishing world mag and in it was the new alvey475cp it looks good and hope it will be a good price when it comes out peter

it has never let me down been using it for years only use 6lb and 20lb on alveys no prblems peter

cut the shank off old hooks and use the eyes on your floats peter

it is a fishraider record peter

hi justin thats huge equals the record blackie 47cms now your looking for that elusive 50cm one great catch peter

thanks for the nomination justin peter

j just saw the mentor badge thanks very much mr ,mrs swordy peter

hi steve the gear i use for drummer is a7144or8144 rod 6inch alvey 20lb tortue mono 1/0suicide hook sinker size o sometimes bigger depends on how much wash there is any headland where there is big boulders and reefs and a good lot of whitewater your in with a chance most important is to fish with safety allways keep an eye on the water if unsure dont fish use 1 loaf of bread as berley and banana prawns as bait [3baits out of 1 prawn]heads and shells go into the berley good luck hope this helps peter

met justin[juzza] at 7am to try an entice some drummer armed with banana prawns and plenty of bread berley it wasent long before justin was into a good fish and was very under gunned with his gear but he played it well and landed a good fish around 1.5 kilo and42cms he was a very happy after that he got smashed twice from very large drummer justin ended up with 2 trevally as well i missed a few and pulled a few hooks on bigger fish but landed one big fat 47 cm about 2.4 kilo which i would like to enter in catch of the month thanks peter

fished mona vale this morning with the rising tide berleyed up the hole with bread and prawn heads only had 3 prawns for bait cut in half [6baits] 3 hooked and 1 landed about45cms plus 1jacket and 1trevally the pig was just under 2kgs and gave the 7144 and alvey with 20lb tortue a good workout fished from 6 to 8am and was the only one fishing peter

hi bob yes its just for the rocks the 10ft 6 would be great for the estuary as would the wilson 10ft slow taper not sure what blanks gary howard uses peter

i would use a running snapper lead to a swivel then a 60cm trace to hook and hook yakka in the tail so the bait allways swims up just off the bottom peter

hi bob just picked up my new gary howard graftmaster 12ft 4wrap it can be used with a centerpin for float fishing and also for fishing the washes with an alvey for blackies and bream i picked this model as it has a sripping guide to aid casting with the alvey and is nice and light havent tried it yet but its sure well made peter

there is alot of kelp running in and out of the lake at the moment especially at the entrance peter

hi mondo did a bit of potholeing on the high tides at night i would pick out the deeper holes in the day at low tide and put a wire burley cage filled with stale bread and a dash of tuna oil weighted down with a heavy rock so it did not move as the tide came in as the tide comes in start fishing 1hour before high using bread [dough]or peeled prawns have caught heaps of bream drummer and blackfish with this method i used 15lb mono little or no lead do it to a few different holes in the same area and see the ones that produce the most fish peter
