saturday 9 - 5;30 working sunday - monday hitting the lakes Happy fishing all

Thank you luderick59 your a champ i was going to try my luck with the soft plastics resembling yellowtail but will def try live bait ( never used that before either can you belive that lol ) thanks very much for the advice mate maybe ill catch you down there sometime ... im going straight after work if i can ditch the kids lol , and thanks for the warnings about the waves etc havent been rock fishing for long but goddamn its scarey sometimes Cheers

Hi fellow raiders how are we all ? Just a quick question , would i be delusional to target kingfish of dee why headland , i dont know much about kingies but would love a go and dee why headland is a 3 min walk from home any advice is greatly appreciated , its just ive never caught one before and i bet it would be a mad rush Cheers

Thanks Wildfish Here is a link for all ppl wanting to know more about fads http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recrea...shing/fads/what Sorry for going off topic guys

What are fads exactly and how do they work ? i know they attract fish but thats it ... lol

With that information , Ill be fishing this weekend instead Jarad Happy Fishing all !!

i was thinking about it but i have a horrible vision of showing up and there being an abundance of 4 x 4 and camping but only a little fishing gear ... Has anyone been ?

My success was on the new squidgy pro "fish" Grasshopper colour , i still have not tried the pearl watermelon but will do next fishing trip ( sigh which means a sunday ) unless the weather picks up then i can go after work ( I love daylight savings dont get em up home qld ) Jarad Happy fishing all ....

Is there anywhere you can buy fresh cunje ? ( sorry for going off topic all ) i mean things like ab gut is available for purchase so there's gotta be somewhere that peddles cunje

yeah ab gut has to be the smellyest stuff ever , but it does catch the fish , will have to have a go at the prawns though , and i have heard that cunje works well too Jarad

Bait = Ab Gut ?

I havent chased the pigs either l8ly been focusing on the lake . But always keen for a feed of drummer , i caught my first one a few days after i moved here at dy headland , by chance on a piece of squid lol , id also like to know when they spawn ... Ta Jarad

Well goodmorning all , first id like to thank everyone for their advice I have some success to report After flicken my first new squidgey ( Grasshopper colour ) into the lake , i jigged it up and down and gave the line a few quick retreives and BANG it felt like a truck hit my squidgey .... my drag was set to high and he snapped my line and swam off ... Re - Rigged i flick another squidgey in .... After a few gentle pulses on the line i hooked onto a nice taylor he fought for about 3 mins and measured a decent 32cm i let him go to fight another day Well i flick another squidgey into the lake , and 30 seconds later i got hit by another truck fish lol well i lost another rig for the day and the kids were getting hungry so i called it quits ..... But now i have a newfound love of the lake and those awsome squidgeys Thanks again everyone HAPPY FISHING

Never caught a king fish in my life ... as a matter of fact i did not even know they existed until this year But really really keen to give it a go one day , Beautiful Fish

See more great advice thats what i love about these forums .... Thanks Kit i might actually try the 2-3 kg rod my mate gave me its one of those rods with the cork grip havent used it yet but its very light and whippy Cheers all

If its raining - Go to shops and look for game that resembles fishing If Its not raining Might go off Dy Headland or hit narrabeen lake

Thanks very much luderick and everyone im sure with the new info im getting off you guys my success may just improve , Just wish i was not at work as id be fishing right now Im going to be majorly cheesed if it rains tommoro on me day off Cheers all

Thanks everybody i need to re-educate myself on how to fish as where i was living in qld the fish are rather dumb and would basically catch themselves i usually fish near the entrance of the creek across the road from the highschool or whatever it is , heaps of bites nut no big fish , i gave up on fishing the woolworths bridge area as all i caught was shopping trolleys lol Thanks Everyone

Thnx Very much that info is gold hopefully this weather clears up and we can wet our lines ! now i think of it i actually bought some 3" pEARL WAtermelon berkley's yesterday

Hi all , Im new to the fishraider forums but already love the wealth of information and general feel of the forums , i have been fishing the lake ever since i moved from qld last xmas and i havent caught anything other than tiny tarwhine and bream , i have been using a mixture of bait including beach worms and tube worms ( store bought ) my rod is a shimano 5 -8 kilo General Purpose rod and my reel is a shimano alivo 4000 ( trying to fish on a reasonable budget ) My primary line is 4 Pound Fireline and im using a 6 pound invisable shock leader ( as per my neighbors advice ) now my question is to increase my chances of big fish should i switch to live yabbies etc or start using some of the new range of squidgeys ? as i have heard stories of success from people using both , just hoping someone might be able to share some pointers / tips with me Thanks Very MUch And Happy Fishing
