top effort off the stones has seal rocks changed much i haven't been there for 20 years is there still only one shop when i was a kid my brother and uncle built bungwall fish co opp some great times were had at light house beach partying with the hippys cheers gary

off the stones you need your berly bag in a gutter above water level so when a wash goes up the gutter it takes berly on the way outif it's in the water it will get ripped to peaces do a dummy run with your float drop it were the gutter ends and free spool your line out and see were your berly is going then cast your rig out there a free spooled bait at the end off the gutter will acount for some big bream also forget the pillys and use gars and work the washes with a slow retreave cheers gary

i spemt many years catching big green backs off the joey we only used pillys to hold a school the best bait is garfish about 10 inches long 5 o gang hooks tailor always hit the tail off big gars and circle back to finish off the rest so you need a hook right at the tail even a floater hook just behind the tail a half hitch around the beak .cast and a slow retreave check the gar is swimming straight and keep it on the surface so you can see the tailor hit it and hang on as kings will also hit this rig this was always done off the stones around the washes we would start at dawn and it was all over by 9.00am the kings would show up 8.00 8.30 cheers gary

post a pic off what you have if your going to use a rodholder then the rod holder needs a backing plate cheers gary

if your going to use a rod holder it will need a backing plate i can knock you up a mount that fits into the rod holder and you mount the downrigger to a base plate you just need to work out the height to clear whatever we sell these mounts for 50.00 if i can help give me a ring on 0438264377 after 3.30 pm cheers gary

if your going to fish the hawks try the point opposite juno on the runout tide 25m west off the point in 6 to 8 meters and 15 meter out theres a good drop off and you need to have a berly pot with weight under the boat use you bonito baits and a small pee sinker and free spool your line till it hits the deck also use a patenoser rig with good weight straight up and down the flattys will come up the berly trail it will take 30 or so min.you can also expect big blue nose bream on the free spooled rig and the odd soapy jew as well for the best result get there 1.5 hours before high tide and fish till 2 hours past hight tide for free spooling baits like bonito the baits need to be the size off the palm off your hand the peckers will eat all the meat but the flattys love the skin good luck and let us know how you go cheers gary

sinkers are by weight you can get a round sectioned off plastic container with all the size split shot in it very handy[split shot are round with a split in them use plyers to crimp not your teeth] as for hooks lundric or black fish hooks are around the smallest and your average bream hook would be a 2 o you proberly don't need anything over a 4 o remember small hooks can catch big fish circle hooks are good as they self set but remember not to try to set the hook if your useing circles you will just rip it out off the fishes mouth bait;;; servo bait is crap get the best bait you can;;;prawns hawksberry praws are ok but fresh is best meaning not frozen ;;;pillys wa pillys are ok but there are pillys from eden that are better;;;;bonito are a top flatty bait as is mullet;; live nippers or blood worms are by far the best bait for bream and crabs cut in half are a close second bait gathering is part and parsel off fishing fresh squid is also a great bait but once it has been frozen unless done properly its crap servo squid is total crap even from the fish market once squid has touched ice or fresh water it's crap berly mix;;;mince a block off pillys 4kg and add a bag off bread crumbs a bag off polard or bran add tuna oil two cupps and freeze there is also a great bait in doe get a fresh loaf off high top bread and pull out every thing and nead in you hands with a splash off water till its like play doe do'nt use the crust but use crust for berly you can mix all sorts off things with it like old cheese and cotton wool but i like to keep it simple doe is self berlying and great for bream cheers gary
