landbased

sorry to hear about your problems I have just recently bought a book called "Hooked on Paradise" NSW 8th edition from a local news agent it has detailed satellite images of all the areas in nsw including macquarie and also has all the hot spots detailed and clearly marked. it also tell what should be caught in an area. please try to find this as it will help greatly chris p.s welcome to fishraider

the hire boat limit was from muli point to bare island so we were limited in opportunities. I would have thought that we could have gone to oil wharf but those were the limits of the hire people. maybe i'll try to find one on that side of the bay

I had similar luck yesterday on the bay as well. That is after the guy at the boat hire place actually turned up 2 hrs late. Also thaks to Ian at fishfinder for some advice yesterday morning p.s those green eyed squid that they had for the social are good

work for me might hire a boat on tuesday tho in MH and chase a king or 2

I am taking a few days off work in early Feb (02-07) and was wondering if anyone had some space for a landlubber like me? I dont get sea sick and can help with some expences etc thanks chris

wd guys as a recently ex kingy virgin myself i cant wait till i find a way to get back out and catch more.

wd on the kings guys.

thanks for the heads up guys

Hey all, I'm looking at hire opt ions for a tinnie in the pittwater for the week after next but cant seem to find much about hire places. As I have no ability to tow I cant get one of the hire and tow anywhere ones. So i'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas and maybe places up there to fish as ive never been there. thanks chris

Hey all, Hired a tinnie with my mate from work today and went around the hacking in search of a feed. Alas there were very few fish around for us except for a couple of small pinkies and a ray. Tried around Lilli Pilli and all the other places for nothing. Has anyone else had teh same sort of luck in the hacking recently?

I would like to know what is the best type of knot to use for 2 hook live baiting. I bought some 6/0 live bait hopoks for the top and some size 2 trebles for the bottom but have no i dea what knots to use i.e snell etc. I would idealy like to have adjustable top hook but what ever you guys/gals use please help me with cheers chris

I'm from around that area and in the same circumstances. I find that Clifton Gardens is good on the north side, alos I get a good feed from Gunamatta bay from tome to time and also from lilly pilli (both are basically the hacking) also if you dont mind a little drive go into the royal national park and hit the sand flats at mainbar, good for flathead and whiting at the moment. also where you guys from?

Monday was heaps fun. Thanks for the trip and my first kingie

nfi sorry

i want one too well done that would have bust up most of my gear

please tell how you go as i'm going to take a friend on tuesday

I found it dead as well but I scored 2 puffer fish and a couple of pinkies

Hey all, Just got back from a morning/ early arvo fish at Gunamatta baths. all up 4 keeper whiting as that is what I was targeting. I do have to say that when those litle witing get a bit bigger they do fight a bit . bait was sand worm pieces. sizes are: 2x 32cm 1x39cm and 1 at 44.5cms (I think thats a record ) also weighed in at 1400gms. needless to say taht is the biggest sand whiting ive ever caught. will post pics when i can figure out how to get from phone .

xtra xtra over size??

from memory you do a half hitch each side at the bottom

marinade overnight and no bbq:( we used it all

Hey all, I went out at about 6am today with a work mate to see if he can get his first ever fish Went to kurnell flats early to see if there were any whiting but alas there were none Then decided to take him to old faithful Gunamatta baths. Caught 2 sand whiting at abouit 25 cms and 21 cms, threw them back while my work mate complained that he will never catch a fish lol. Then started hooking up those pesky small snapper max size about 24cms. then all of a sudden oliver (workmate) catches his first ever fish a huge snapper of 18cms went quiet for a while and I feel a small hit at my 2kg outfit so I pull it in and it feels strange then all of a suden I feel big headshakes and it goes for a run taking about 20m line which I get back really easy, I start pulling in more line and I see a shape in the murky water which I call to look like a shovelnose. I pull it up a bit more then it goes for another small run so I tighten up a bit coz the drag is only at about .5kg get the fish to about 1.5 m from the surface and see that its not a shark but a HUGE flatty est 1m+ It looks at my ugly mug turns its tail, one sweep and bam she's off Would have liked a pic with her but she was going to go back anyway. After that the tide changed and went quiet except for a couple small bream biggest going to 24cms (1more cm and he would have been lunch damn it ) All in all good day. Flatty was on prawn shelled whiting on sandworms and rest on chicken with soy and cheese.

thanks Roberta and Miller I will give these places a go

no one??

Awsome fish there mate> Just one question... You fish in white??????
