hi roberta glad you got some weed and a bonus with the floats next time give me a call when your down iwas fishing the washes fri and sun morning high tides and scored 15 you would haved loved it same spot as you fished last time good luck with the new floats peter

hi david88 15ft blackie rod sounds a bit heavy to be holding on to for hours time and money it will cost to refurbish is to much compared to one in the tackle shops ocean blackfish rod for under $50 AT SOME SHOPS peter

wellcome back byron peter

hi royce its been closed for a while but all this rain should have opened it should be good when it all settles by the way that old split cane ive got peteris an old bill southern made rod

perfect weather and tides for fishing the gutters this morning arrived at 6.30 the rock platform was covered in white water [lucky i got my cabbage and weed yesterday at low tide] first gutter caught 2 tide and waves were rising fast leaving no exposed rocks to land the fish so i had to lay them up the side of the pool to grab them playing these fish is easy in water over 1 foot deep but in 6inches of water they go like little rockets any way lost about 6good fish and came away with 4 packed it in at 8,30 as it was getting to rough had fun in the rain and rough seas but thats what blackies love weed was better than cabbage this morning i think the cabbage was washing to fast in the white water compared to the weed peter ttachment=62871:IMG_0418.jpg]

hi royce can supply an old split cane rod for your float making if you can pick it up from nth beaches peter

very sad news my condolences to his familly he will be missed by all that knew him peter

fish any corner of any beach where rock meets sand [from the rocks] throw out behind waves or into gutters mainly on a rising tide fishing very early morning or from dusk into the night you should be in with a chance good luck peter

good on ya nice fish try going down in trace size to around 40lb you may get more runs peter

great catch stormy that spot sure looks good peter

any 7144 should do the trick but come down in line size to 20 or 25lb mono and make sure it is a low winch mount peter

thinking of you byron merry xmas

try right in the corner of nth cury where the sand meets rocks on a high tide top spot peter

hi whiting slayer its about 10kms north of long reef peter

hi newbiewhunter my system of cleaning blackies is when caught keep alive in a keeper net until you have enough first i cut the heads off and gut them and scrape out the black stomach lining i do not scale them put in fridge overnight then i fillet them as i find this firms up the flesh then i skin them [easier to skin with the scales on ] cut the blood line out and tou have good boneless fillets to cook and enjoy peter

fished the mona vale rocks 6.30 this morning started off very slow with only 1 fish in the net till 7.30 as the waves picked up so did the fishing by 8.30had 6 big blackies so called it a day all fish were over40cms also tried a small new float that was quite good made by my mate peter

troll them as slow as you can have two lines out one white and the other pink or orange 30mts behind boat main line.....swivel............smiths jig if possible keep boat going after hook up [as your pulling one in there may be one on the other lure]unhook fish and tosslure back and pull the other fish in use a handline 60to80lb when you hit a school shorten the length behind boat to 10to 15mts try and circle the school after first hookup peter

hi roberta great news happy birthday keith peter

the smiths jig is one of the best trolling lures for any surface fish especially tailor use white and pink or orange they are still available peter

hi mannyk was using cabbage fishing the gutters at the edge of the rocks with no float just a light sinker 6lb trace and no8 hook peter

full moon eve n the blackies were shy this morning peter
