Thanks for that, i'll give it a go at the weekend.

I'd like to get in with some bigger fish (as does everyone), should i stick to the same places as i'm getting the smaller fish and just persist or are there areas or tactics that produce better fish?

Last saturday i managed to get out and throw a few plastics around. It was an area up near Rozelle. There was a few spots of rain coming down but i'd made so much effort to get there so i was'nt gonna call it off! A couple of mates who dont fish came along out of interest and i set up two extra rods so they could get involved. We got there and these two started thrashing the water with a few casts with the bail arm closed, god knows how many knots they got on my new reels loaded with brand new braid!!! But lowe and behold after 20mins one of them shouts "i think i've got one......yeah....it's moving ...i think it's a fish" Turned out to be a flathead of around 45cm. Over the next 2 hours he caught another, so did my other friend again all around 45cm. I managed to drop two fish then at the last gasp (You know, the "one last cast disorder") i managed to score one!........about half the size of the one's my friends caught! Basicly i'm after some new friends! lol Nah i'm just joking, i'm glad they caught because they never would have stayed that long, infact they want to go again in the week after work one night! Oh well looks like i'm gonna be untying a few more knots....and unhooking fish......and tying rigs......and hooking bait....and...you get the idea.

Wow you lot play your cards close to your chest dont ya! lol Thanks, i'll give that place a go and thanx for the reply.

Hello fishraider! I'm currently living in waverly (eastern suburbs), now i've only been here for 3weeks and i've struggled to find any bait or tackle shops near by to get and advice. Where have you hidden them all? I'm in to lure fishing but it's alot different out here to back in the uk. Is anyone willing to give me any pointers on A) Which places to try? What kind of tactics to use? I seriuosly want to catch a flat head! They are an awsome looking fish and tailor look pretty cool to. Any help would be greatly appereciated. Tight lines.
