gday raiders headed out to the show yesterday and wanted to see this guy again. it was pretty awsome seeing these smaller baramundies smashing some lures that he had. shame it wasnt saltwater fishing though cause never been freshwater before. heres two pictures of his tank. as you can see he gets some fair crowds.

i caught one on the stockton brakewall last weekend didnt know about the harbour and all the crap being stired up but if you wanted to give it a go theres a little warf around next to a boat ramp that i usually try and get legal sized flattys bream and whiting. good luck stockoboy

first fish in ages where i managed to catch fish!!! but my bad luck soon took its toll... headed up to stockton on Sunday morning with plenty of fishing in mind! first tried the brake wall at about 4-5:30 but not one single bite!! so decided to head home grab some food and come back later when it gets darker. came back at 7:45 and it seemed like a totally different place. my first time fishing there at night and there were so many other fishos out so i felt like tonight was the night to brake my drought! we started fishing on the beach side but nothing.. so at about 8:45 we headed over to the harbour side and shortly after my lil bro pulled in a 35 cm bream. didnt really have the intentions of eating it so we put him back. then after that all we got were snags... so we headed home. Monday headed back out there at around 12ish and found a spot next to a bloke that had just pulled in a fair sized spanish mackeral. every know and then we'd get some fair sized bites. at about 2ish it sorta went quite so we thought we should move and try some where else. but us i was bringing my rod in with the new reel something grabbed the squid. got it up on the rock and it was my first flat head in about 10 years! got the ruler out and was 47cm long! but as i turn around to put the ruler down and grab my phone to take a picture it decided to jump spit the hook and because stupid i left it on the edge of the rock it jumped back in and swam away!!!!! but acleast i broke the drought of not catching fish and hopfully there will be more to come!!!

hey raiders hows the long weekend going for every one? shame the weathers not better... im heading up to stockton early tomorrow morning and thought id try and find out where i could get some live bait from. id say preferably yellowtails cause there like the only livies iv ever used and not to fond of others. i remember reading in an old thread that you can get some stuff from the wreck on the brake wall. any help would be much appreciated. cheers stocko boy

storm manly (hate them though!!!) cowboys souths broncos roosters dogs penrith with the knights and titans very close behind... paras got nothing they'll be wooden spoon for sure!! i dont go for souths but i reckon they'll win it

alright thanks never knew that.. stocko boy

sup raiders i just rememberd today that one day when i was swimming at manly damn ( near manly vale) that on the way back to the car i noticed a guy walking along the edge of the water fishing... are there actually fish in there cause i never though there was?? any one actually fished there before or know if there are fish there? cheers stocko boy

thanks guys. hopfully this it doesnt rain again for us and we'll head out and hopfully catch my first one cheers stocko boy

hey raiders thinking about heading out this weekend with a friend to Middle Harbour and was hoping to catch my first king fish. i was wondering if any one could advise me on any spots to try out? cheers guys stocko boy

yeh had teeth i remember at first i thought i was snagged but then it started coming in. and i thought it was like a piece of seaweed or a stick at first then when i got like a meter away from it it started to move. thanks guys. any one else had any experiance with sea snakes?

hey raiders, just thought id post a topic about what i believed were sea snakes. every chance i go up to stockton and stay at our place on the beach up there and regualry fish the breakwall. summer holidays last year i caught what looked like a snake about half a meter long and just thicker then a thumb. trying to think of its colour im sure it had greeny blue stripes. my couzin had also caught two up there like a week before. are they snakes or eels? does any one know if there venomus? i was sorta spooked a bit cause i surf a fair bit and i have to worry enough about the great whites up there as it is. haha cheers stocko boy

haha yeh you'v told me that story scotty thanks for the help guys cheers

alright mate cheers next time im up there i'll ask about and have a look about for some new stuff cheers guys

alright yeh iv got a tackle box with all the stuff but its fair old cause im only really just getting back into with some friends. i figured i needa get some new stuff. just a question what make of reels would you suggest best to buy? im still just learning and find this website great! cheers

thanks guys a jewy would be an awsome catch i might try the brakewall when up there. is there any specific place from the ferry to the bridge i could go to where i could get a bigger flat head or brim? whats the best tide to fish on up there for a jewy though?

hey guys my first post and was wondering if any one had some places they went there.. im occasionaly at stockton and was curious wheres the best spot to catch fish. i use to fish of the brakewall but would only catch big cat fish shavel nosed sharks and the occasional snake. theres a little warf in the harbour but all is too small there.. im not really into beach fishing but would give it a crack any ideas? cheers
