Nice work, trying to work out where you are in that 2nd pic but i've got no idea
Bit of speeding around roseville

Thanks for your replies and PM's guys, will definitely try and put all your advice to good use.
I'll try and post day-by-day reports provided my laptop magically connects to the internet (not sure if it will)
Any more tips/advice is much appreciated.
Cheers

I know you're targeting kings and it can be frustrating when you don't get them but you've done quite well otherwise bagging out on those other fish + having fresh bait.
Firstly i'd say try and get squid, i find that squid guts with a burst inc sac never gets refused provided the fish are there.
Second if you can try and get out early morning, the fish tend to be more productive early morning in their feeding and should give you a better shot at them, the afternoon and evening can be good as well though.
And last when you see them feeding on baitfish like that it is probably better to try and catch them with lures rather than bait, they would've been chasing whitebait i'd assume and seeing an odd single slimey mackeral in amongst them probably would of been tempting but suspicious. Try lures that look like whitebait or just general king lures like sluggo's, metal slices and rapala cd9s.
Good Luck

Well i've never targeted them on plastics but i know people that have and have had success in doing so.
Storm Wildeye Shads work well as do Tsunami Swim Shads, i think the vibration from the big paddle tails works well. Have heard of quite a few caught on 5 and 7inch jerk shads as well.

Can't wait to have a crack at some of the Cowan Bream GregL has told me about.
Good tips from both of you
Cheers

Well done on breaking your kingy virginity mate!
Nice to get quite a few, the rats can be a lot of fun on light gear!
That pilchard CD9 always does the trick for me when i go out, didn't get it back from a monster last trip though
Cheers

Nice Jewie there.
Bait or lure?
And what system was it caught in?
Cheers

As Chris said you still have to find the fish, but i definitely think it makes them more inclined to eat it. I caught snapper smaller that the 4 inch plastic i was using it on, a lot of bites though so it definitely attracts.
If you could buy it in a separate tub to the actual plastics i would.

Yeh I reckon.
I was watching I FISH on the weekend and they caught a barra around 60lb in an impoundment and they said that the fish would have been around 8years old. If jew grow at a similar rate, look out in a few years from now! I cant wait!
Wow thats big.
Definitely should be good in a few years, sounds like they are really prevalent around wisemans.
Just need them to grow and move closer to the mouth

Just had a chat to the bloke who owns the tackle shop i'm going to buy from. He reckons the Sustain is a good reel to get at $318, i think i'm willing to pay that, would've got a certate or fireblood from japan if the dollar was good but i think i might settle on this.
Next is the rods, i think i'll get a Starlo Stix Tournament, maybe a t-curve.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Josh
Edit: Actually am in a bit of a dilemna, i can either get a Stradic and a really good rod like a t-curve 2009 or a sustain and a starlo stix tournament.
Not sure if its better to have a better rod or reel???
Then dno which braid to get, 4 or 6lb and the brand, was thinking Daiwa but its $60 for 150m, so maybe FINS, Suffix or Stren Microfuse?
Any Ideas

Thought i'd start up a thread about
a)Where your favourite you fished and what the highlight was and
b)Where you would most like to fish but you haven't yet.
I'll kick it off.
Favourite place so far would be the outer Reef off Dunk Island where i got my 50lb GT.
Place i most want to fish is the Coral Sea onboard Nomad so hopefully i can get a 50kg GT

Anything guys?
Squid won't be an issue.
What are good places in cowan to get Live Bait and can anyone give me some tips on catching little mullet and hardyheads for live bait. Do those fish traps work?
Cheers
Josh

Nice footage Greg, that guy was on IFISH recently wasn't he?
What gear were you using, sounded a dream to cast.
Cheers

a special well done to billy slater who tried to run down the sideline and threw the ball to benji marshall 5 metres out with ten minutes to go.. wat a d***head.
Couldnt agree more, don't like him as it is, that only made it worse

Great post Byron.
Just hoping the weather and conditions are favourable to us when we're staying at Cottage Point.
Does anyone know a reliable site that has weather predictions for up to 2-3weeks away?
Cheers

I'm not a huge fan of baitcasters but they have their place particularly with some aspects of lure fishing especially around snags where really accurate casting is required.
I have a Shimano Callisto up for sale in Swap & Sell, nice reel going cheap.

Hi all,
We'll be staying at Cottage Point on Cowan Creek from December 5th-12th at a friends waterfront home and will have our boat, gear and everything else up there.
Basically i'm looking to use this opportunity to catch some very nice fish of many kinds, Jewfish most importantly but bream, flathead, kingfish, tailor anything with size that swims.
So anybody that could share with me some info on any of these fish in terms of spots, times/tides, baits/rigs, anything at all then i'd really appreciate it.
Anywhere between Bobbin Head in Cowan to Scotland Island in Pittwater to the Road Bridge up the Hawkesbury i'd be very greatful.
Please PM me if you'd rather not say things on the thread and thank you to those that have already given me some great info.
Cheers
Josh

Hi Pete,
Roberta was right about Jewgaffer.
Iam a little surprised she did not mentioned Forster-Tuncurry breakwall.The best jewfish spot on the whole east coast, for 30 years about seven of our locals fishing at night just before the slack on high using back to back mullet strips,have been pulling in jew ranging from 30 -117lb, but as jewgaffer said you have to take a lot of conditions into consideration.by the way that 117lb was landed in may 78'.
Cheers Rick.
You wouldn't happen to have a pic of that big jewie would you
? Sounds like an awesome fish

That video isn't really painful and its definitely not fake.
Thats a Triumph boat- we own one and they are one of the strongest recreational makes of boat in the world.
Just check out their website and see all the other videos like that one where they demonstrate just how strong these boats are.
Cheers

Well i am laughing to the bank i put 1000 on them 2 win
Serious?? Well done if so.
Didn't really see it coming but don't care too much-its only league

Looks great Glenn, now you can find out which lures work well on them
-
What line were you using, is that just a reef shark or a little whaler.
How big do you think it was?
Cheers

Sounds like a great day, kings on light gear can be deadly fun.
92cm on 12lb is a bloody good effort though, well done.
Looking forward to pics.
Cheers
