I know how you feel - we organised a snapper fishing trip (in Adelaide) last year for a mates bucks... 8 of us flew down for the extended weekend with 2x charters booked, got to the wharf at 6am each time only to be called off due to weather!! Didn't get to wet a line all weekend!

2-4kg Trions are great value (around $100ish) - I've got one with a Ci4 and its fine throwing 1/4 jigs to chase bream & flatties. (I don't use 1/2oz jigs on this but I would say they would be right a the limit of this rod). Samaki also make nice plastics rods (around $150), I've got the 'Zing' model and although its rated same 2-4kg its much stiffer than the Trion.

We were out last Saturday morning in Pittwater.... We had 2boats, tried everything including baits, plastics, vibes, even caught & used live squid and still got pretty much nothing worth mentioning.

Nice effort mate! How'd you keep the yakkas alive? (Cant see a LBT set-up in your tinny?)
-
Did you get the GoPro 4? I've got the 3+ and a 16Gb & 32Gb Sandisk Extreme cards.... they work fine, I think they were maybe $40-$70ea?? Don't quote me but I think they need to be minimum Class 10? More importantly, you should look at getting a spare battery or two - as GoPros tend to drain batteries pretty quick filming HD Video....

Jewies are such a cool looking fish! Great catch mate.
-
Nice one mate.
-
I've lost a fair few Zmans when i first bought them... You need to keep them out of direct sunlight and don't mix colours when storing them.
-
Looks like an awesome trip mate.... We're headed to Vegas in mid-April... PM Sent.

Great flatty mate! Seems to be a few bigger ones around at the moment.... PS> what kind/size of boat is that??
-
She would've given the drag a nice work out :-) ....Cracker flattie mate! ...
-
I've used a product called JB Weld.... (google it for specs & reviews) It's a 2part epoxy, dries rock hard & can be sanded & painted over... It's pretty good stuff.

buying a 14ft alloy for bay and close inshore ,any advice please.
PlayerOne replied to leonardgid's topic in Boating
Research 4.2m(ish) open tinnies, with V shape hull - i.e. quintrex dory, stacer seahorse/nomads and equivalent allycraft, brooker models... that's a good start.. I'd also recommend 30hp(+) for the above... -
Add $150+ for a decent charger....
-
We always let them go.... never actually tried one but heard they're not that great..... BTW - Do you mean Roseville (middle harbour)?
-
Careel Bay is worth a shot....
-
Update on this... We stayed up there Fri-Sunday last weekend. Fishing was "ok" as we caught fair few flatties between us, most around 40cm.... couple 50cm ones and released a nice 66cm girl.... As others have said, the water is clear up to the bridge area... any further up gets dirty real quick.....
-
We're heading up there this arvo (for the weekend).... Hope the water has cleared up a bit.... Have you noticed if the fishing has improved since the dredging is completed??..... We were up there last November and the entrance & main channel had silted up heaps.... the fishing was much tougher than last couple years...
-
Hi. Does anyone have (or heard) any recent reports from The Entrance / Tuggerah Lakes?? Has the dredging finished? We're heading up next weekend and hopefully the flatties come out to play.... Cheers, Alex.
-
Which ramp do you plan on launching from??
-
x2 - i use a tarp to cover boat overnight (just for peace of mind) - keep those opportunistic thieves away who will steal anthing left inside.... also use a trailer lock.
-
Great work on the squid mate! BTW - What kind of boat & car have you got? ... i've considered launching at Palm Beach but concerned about the shallow water & sand ramp (i've got a 4.2m tinny & Subaru Forester);
-
I had a few motorbikes when i first started dating the missus and got hassled that i didnt use them enough so i eventually sold them... I allways wanted a boat, so made sure i bought one BEFORE i got engaged as well (cos i knew how much effort it would have been to get one after!).... Been engaged for 2yrs now and want to upgrade the boat.... still trying to convince her.............. may take a while....
