    well done champ.congrats all around :thumbup: .you guys definitely did better than us, we hit the hawkesbury last sunday too,on a hire tinny. drifted bridge to bridge, was even at the infamous 3rd pylon on the rail bridge on the run in tide, landed approx 100 fish, 99 of which was the ever popular catfish :ranting2: (even spiked my bro in the leg which swelled up as expected) and 1 legal flatty which went back.

    Barramundi in the Harbour

    its no more than a few months old if it is a barra, ive kept barra in a 3ft fish tank before and it outgrew that in its first 2 yrs, if it got to decent size it may survive thru our cold winters, they just slow down when it gets cold.... i say we stock the harbour with more :thumbup:

    Loads Of Kings In The Harbour, But None Would Take A Bait

    hi cramzzz,

    the exact same thing happened to me one day in pittwater. i was fishing for squid when dozens of kingies busted up right around the boat and nothing we showed them would get a bite. the only thing i could suggest is to use fluro carbon leader (about a rods length) if you wern't already.

    :1fishing1:

    yeah it's happened to us quite a few times in pittwater. you create action by burlying up the baitfish,kingies come but will not even look at anything you throw at them with the heavy gear, throw in an unweighted bit of pilly on the bream gear and hold on,good fun. we have melted and destroyed some of the kids outfits doing this so make sure they're not around if you do...otherwise a live squid never fails...

    Braid

    mate i asked this same question here only last week, look over the next page for the replies i got. i prefer fins myself,have used fieline and countless cheapo braid from blah blah poop but have found fins to be the one i like most, it doesnt dig into itself like braid can and excellent knot strength and casts well. ive got 30lb fins on my kingy outfit and have landed metre long fish with it. next to fins ive found fireline to be fairly reliable and casts very well and all the tackle shops sells it...yeah avoid cheapo brands,dont waste your money, buy the best you can afford..

    Braid- Which Brand Is Best?

    hey raiders.... i need to replace my old line on my over head as well as my spinning reel to be ready for this coming summer of reef bashing and plastic tossing for kings and reds. Ive got Fireline on my others reels and have also used Fins before and have found Fins to be far superior but when I went to my local tackle shop they had run out of 30lb Fins and now I wasnt sure which braid to buy, I didnt really want to buy Fireline again and were stuck with choices of Tuf XP, Powerbraid and I hear Suffix is also a reliable brand. Can I have other raiders opinions on which they prefer,pls,tnx..

    Sweep

    i rate sweep second only to leatherjackets when getting in the way of catching decent fish. they certainly arent hard to come by and are rather annoying when they school over reefs on top of kingfish. some raiders reckon they come up ok smoked, at least leatherjackets are decent eating but sweep i think is more like eating wet cardboard. :1prop:

    Good onya guys.....fishing around this great city of ours i think has improved generally over the past few years. Sharing knowledge and educating and encouraging future fishos can only contribute to the greater good of it all. :thumbup: tnx...

    Squidding In Brooklyn

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    if he dose decide to go down to cottage point boat hire as both marinas that hire out at brooklyn have their cut off limits between juno point and gunyah , and also been 6-9.9 hps that dont plane that is a bloody long trip:P

    cheers hoodlum

    hoodlums right....great plan jewgaffer and it still may work if we hire from cottage pt, cos we dont really want to spend hours travelling and those hire tinnies are down right slugs. thanks guys anyway for all your awesome suggestions. it's just i hate hiring a tinnie without a plan, we usually end up without any thing to take home. last year we hired a tinnie and drifted from bridge to bridge all day and we must have caught 20 or 30 soapy jews, good fun but none were keepers. so if anyone else has any hints pls tell, we need a lot of help..

    Squidding In Brooklyn

    Me and a couple of mates are planning to hire a tinny off Brooklyn the week after next and I was hoping to introduce them to squidding but unsure where in Brooklyn to look, can you catch them in the Hawkesbury?, Ive caught squid in Pittwater before but need help for Brooklyn area, and what kind of fish can we expect out of Brooklyn this time of year and where to look?any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am asking for a lot but those tinnies arent cheap to hire for the day and I want to be as prepared as much as possible, thank you again.
