when i joined fishraider i fished for flattys from a crap old nautiglass 18 footer after i year off break downs and getting ripped off by boat service places i bit the bullet and purchased a new savage but i joined fish raider looking for a tustworthy place to get it serviced that was the main reason i joined and got the good oil on craig what a ledgend well a few years have passed and with the help from fellow raiders with tips and locations now i'm catching marlin off sydney now i like to give back and help newbees get the passion for fishing starting with the basic getting a feed or keeping the kids busy catching yakkas i get a real buzz when a plan leads to catching fish thats what i think is the real goal off this site sharing the passion for fishing thanks to all the team at fish raider and to the back bone off the site [donna] have a safe and fun xmas cheers gary

firstly drop into coastgard at the end off the break wall in harrington and pick up the local map it has all the gps marks on the back with all the relevent wrecks and reefs on it snapper'' as you leave crowdy ramp head north west for a good 600meters to avoid a bommy then straight out in fount off the light house in 40 to 70 meters prime snapper grounds best bait fresh squid from the local co op but half pillys work well to mermaid reef is also a good spot but not in a swell as it gets shallow very quick more a spot for the sp's boys wide off mermaid is a fad in 50 or so meters hot spot for dollys and between the fad and mermaid is also good snapper grounds also perlys there trolling with the warm water hitting crowdy now anything is possable set your spread early and work the birds straight out from the light house we usuly troll wide then north and head back in to the fad then back to the ramp we have picked up stripped marlin near the fad and wahoo 100 meters from the boatramp so leave your lures out all the way home sharks berlying for snapper will bring the sharks in around 9am there a pest so start early for snapper and move as soon as the shark show up if you like shark fishing start in 50 meters off harrington fishing for flattys and move wide in 10meter hops till you find the good size flattys usuly between 50 to 70 meters abit off berly and your in shark mecca one off the mako hot spots on the east coast but if your new to shark fishing do'nt berly and piss off when you start loosing flathead that should keep you busy also NEVER CROSS THE BAR at harrington go to crowdy not worth your boat or your life good luck and have a great time cheers gary

what are you fishing for crowdy is one off my fav spots cheers gary

i have about 10 in stock left there 4.5 meter poles and spline bases there exactly the same as relax from the same supplyer only the poles are stiffer as i had them put 2 more raps on the poles they have a money back garentee and a five year warranty and at 400.00for two bases and two poles there a good deal why are they so cheap because i make my money in heavey eng.this is a side line for me so your not paying for sales staff or a wearhouse or some one to answer the phone your buying directly from the importer no middle men and i'm not greedy cherrs gary 0438264377

great read ian and a pb well done mate those blue nose bream give a good account for them self good efort on 4 lb keep the reports coming mate i'll be lucky if i wet a line before xmas with work flat out at present cheers gary

mate there is only one person i trust and he's a site sponser huett ask for craig cheers gary

get a fresh loaf off high top bread pull out all the white and squeeze into a ball wet just a little with salt water and work the ball by squeezing and rolling back into a ball should be a bit stiffer than play doe you have just made doe use a back fish hook and a small pencil float with no weight hide the hook with doe in a tear drop shape some old fisher men i know add cotton wool when making the doe and even old cheese but this was more for bream cheers gary ps don't forget to fish the cleaning table out let on dusk for big blue nose bream

i think i trolled past both you guys yesterday we headed wide water temp did'nt get past 19 c i also had one very sea sick mate on board went to 400 meters to some marlin marks didn't turn a reel but there were a few flying fish wide so all we need now is a hot currant cheers gary

do a search in the window top right as it's been covered many times if you don't have any joy there send me a pm and i'll fill you in your going to have a ball up there one off my fav spots cheers gary

we don't do the rigging the kits are on flea bay for around 50.00 i will turn up the line guilds for free and the 316stainless eye screws are at bunning for around 4.00 cheers gary

raiders i have 20 sets left and with the marlin due to show up soon it's time to get ready if your thinking do i need out riggers on my trailer boat for marlin i would recomend there a must have weather your running skip baits or lures it puts it in clean water i'll be skipping big garrs on my outriggers this year and my boat is 5 meters long at 400.00 for two 4.5meter black 2 peace poles and two 20 position 316 stainless spline bases the poles are not whippy so your lures will stay in the water you will be buying directly from the importer no middle man no 300% mark up just good quality at a good price cheers gary bricknell seriously stainless pty ltd corners off wiblin and vore streets silverwater nsw 2128 ph 0438264377 ps we can courier theres units any were on the east coast for 50.00 west coast we will advise courier costs

the lake has monster mullet best to use a fly rod or a small hook and doe the currant rips along the breakwall you will have to use a fast walk on a running tide or cast up currant there is thumper blue nose bream around the cleaning table on dark and good flattys on the inside of the breakwall near the outlet nippers are the best bait and can be pumped at old bar but not at harrington go and get some fresh bait at crowdy fish co op and some prawns to eat use the shells as berly and the heads as bait for flattys were i mentioned best before sun up and around dusk also if you go to old bar fish the whalf near the boat ramp for flattys and to pump nippers at the end off the main drag take the dirt road past the airport about 1km park and walk to the island best at low tidethe further you walk the bigger the nippers hope you have a good time cheers gary

that suxs ass i feel sorry for you do you wont me to come around and tow the lovely beast to the ramp and back for you it will cost you a days fishing wide though hope it shows up soon cheers gary

maybe we should have a carp bash i used to fish one at lake ladell up the hunter it was a week end comp you can camp by the lake and it was a fun weekend there are also monster eels there so big they would restrict water flow into the power station cheers gary

any raiders own an aqualine boat looking for some advise regarding these boats cheers gary

sunday arvo and monday look fishable but proberly not worth the drive cheers gary

it runns from silverwater to rose hillthere are heaps off mullet and bream but it was the most polluted water way west off hombush bay i may be thinking off duck creek that runns to rosehill behind the old rta site good place to catch bait but i'll give you two tips never eat fish from there and don't dig in the mud as you will get gassed from polution in the mud 18inches down very toxic a good place to stayaway from cheers gary
