    Ignorant amateur anglers on the rocks

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted · Edited by smoked1

    Yeah i can feel the racial undertones too and what you guys are forgetting is its the communication and education that is the problem. Its hard when people can't understand or listen but i have seen just as many Caucasians guys running around the rocks with no footwear slipping and cracking the heads open. I've seen "white" guys if you like swing off peoples ropes and fall off and injure themselves badly... no one ever talks bad about them, i think that's even worse considering English is not an issue.

    A few years ago one of the most experienced Caucasian rock fisherman in the history of LBG died on the NSW north coast. Washed in with two of his mates because they got complacent so experience and respect counts for nothing. All 3 should have died considering they were fishing 4m swells and all 3 went in the drink so that's a very lucky outcome. Did anyone bag them out for being stupid trying to fish those conditions? of course not, they were white and experienced right?

    Everyone has learning to do and its the ones who think they know everything that will take more risks... a catch 22 really.

    Longtails at Port Stephens

    If your boat can't manage that distance then straight out the front of Fingal Island is good (that is where I got the second one). They are also caught off the rocks at Tomaree (the Southern headland at Port Stephens) so you can anchor and fish here (lots of bait here too but also a few noahs that often steal tuna hooked by the LBG guys).

    Awesome report and great to see you both getting decent fish.

    I personally think if you have a boat then you should use it and access areas where you cant from land. Granted tuna hug the shoreline at certain times of the year but to anchor up infront of a popular LBG ledge is a pretty poor form especially if there are fishos on the rocks already.

    donuts on the pittwater once again.

    There is no need or justification to keep undersized fish. These laws are in place not only for you but for the future generation. I know one day your kids will be able to enjoy catching big reds if we all follow the rules.

    As for deeply hooked fish then a quick snip of the line and less handling time might do the trick.

    Better luck next time... thats fishing!

    tips for catching jews

    in Fishing Reports

    G'day raiders,

    in the last few weeks ive managed to catch a few kings and have decided its time to try and catch my first jewy im mainly fishing in port hacking or cronulla beaches and need all the help i can get. Any info on tides, bait, set ups, and locations would be much appreciated.

    thanks fellas.

    Danlarter.

    Might be worth doing a search before asking to be hand fed. Plenty of info on this already.

    barramatt, good point.. i hate to see a massacre of fish. For me its quality and not so much quantity. Besides a 1m+ fish tastes much better and will feed you for a year. I am almost sure if you research and fish hard you will get atleast a 1 meter each year. Everyone i fish with has.

    Mondo, You seem to only fish in perfect conditions which rarely happens.... so maybe you havent put in enough hours. But you will find suprisingly most Jew are not caught in anything that resembles ideal conditions. :1yikes:

    Best Type of Hooks for Kingies, Salmon & Bonitos

    Forget about circles. Especially if you're chasing kings.

    You need to load the rod up slowly for the circle to 'engage'. Rarely would you want to give a king a chance to put their nose down.

    Make sure they've got the bait/hook in their mouth then hit them as hard as you can. They're not going to be nice about the fight neither, so nor should you.

    I stand corrected. Shows how clear these laws are with everyone having to contact DPI for clarification.

    Either way my "personal" view is to leave them in peace to breed. Its just a few months.

    I love catching and eating squid but I self imposed a ban on catching Southern Calamari for a few months because all of the 4 squid in my last trip all had eggs. The ban can only do good for furture stocks.

    WELL I went for a walk up the the gosford Railway dams yesterday just for a look , spoke to the fishing inspectors about the restocking both had 2000+ bass and eels put in around 2001 /2002 . he was right the water is very cold this time of year and the fish will be off the bite , but it was a good time testing the new bait caster and spinners , A good view and mates to chat with , the walk in and out was a challange but only 20 mins will keep on it and make a good trail for all ..

    Leigh :1fishing1:

    You are not allowed to target Bass or Eps this time of the year. Did the inspector mention that as well? I hope he did.

    Boat or land based?

    I got 10 on sat morning, all 20cm+ mantles.

    I regret it now as most of them had eggs. I am not sure about spawning season but I think its now. Banning myself from squidding for the next few months.

    Can anyone shed some light about spawning times?

    Cheers guys

    Good guesses, close but no cigar

    Jewy caught in the Bay, on bait - 30cm fresh squid.

    To be honest, I was a tad disappointed, thought with a bait that size a 20kg big mama would be on the cards!

    Mate,

    Better than a kick in the guts.

    You should be stoked with a PB

    Friday Night Jewy Session Newport Beach

    Hey Steve. No not a lcoal but might as well be one considering all the trips I have put in.

    I think I may know spot X you are referring to. I was checking out the weed factor on friday. Looks fishy and definately less crowd. Sometimes I dont mind the crowd on a long beach.

    How big is the PB steve?

    Squiding Clifton Gardens

    Hi Fishos,

    I went down to Clifton Gardens last night to try and get some squid to use off the rocks at Curl Curl. I have spent around $200 on jigs line and glow bait.

    After fising for around 6 hours i didnt land one squid!!! :(

    Can someone please tell me how to catch these mungrels and recisly where to squid for them at either Clifton Gardens or Balmoral????????????????????????????????????

    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    You wont catch squid every single trip man. If it was that easy my fridge would be packed with Jewie steaks. Keep trying mate. I am sure your next 6 hours might paint a different picture. Maybe better advice is live squid is better for kings off the rocks.
