Nice one Dave we were out in Pitt water on Sat morning and got busted off by something really solid which i presume was a kingy on the last squid i had(damn), even caught a nice keeper bream on a full squid which was a suprise, going to stock up on the squid ready for this Saturdays session Steve

Hi Fellow Raiders Hope you've all had a very good Christmas Im heading up to Barrington tops in the new year and was wondering where the good fly fishing spots are Any help is much appreciated Thanks to you all Steve

Thanks Groper will deffo give it a bash and who knows calamari may well be on the menu .... fingers crossed

Hi Fellow raiders I was after a little bit of help as to where there would be a good chance of catching squid, im staying at my brothers house in Cronulla and wanted to know if there were any hot spots local to here Thanks again Steve

Hi Fellow raiders I am planning a little trip up to Barrington tops over the Xmas period and would like to know where would be a good place to fly fish for trout Thanks in advance Steve

Hi, I agree woith all the replies to your post, Avoca can be seriously dangerous, and even though it is a fairly large platform you still get waves that cover the whole area, if your looking for tips on where/how to fish Avoca then you cant get any better local info than from Ray R and Mercer007, look them up on this site and PM them, im sure they'll be more than happy to put you in the right direction, these guys fish this area almost every other day and always bag a feed, they have excellent knowledge of all the central coast waters. tight lines Steve

Thanks Mercer 007 Great tips as usual, ive read some of yours and Rays reports on fishing Avoca and as usual they are very helpful, there was a recent report on fishing the lagoon for big mullet on sp's, couold i ask where abouts on the lagoon that was only i want to catch a big mullet on fly Thanks mate Steve Thanks mate ill give the Haven a bash some time soon Cheers Steve

Thanks Tom Great tips and a big help for me to catch my first squid, ive not got a boat but i do have a yak Steve Cheers mate ill give it a go as im only in Terrigal Thanks for the tips, very helpful and appreciated. Steve

Hello fellow Fishraiders Does anyone know wher i can hook up my first squid anywhere around the Central Coast, some people say the Haven is ok but ive never heard of anyone catching squid there Thanks in Advance Bunney10

Hi Avoca and Wamberal have held fish consistantly for the last few months, and last week there was a huge shoal just of Wamberal lagoon, anywhere from the surf club north generally holds fish \ Tight lines and good luck

Hi Dan Great report and i agree with the other fishraiders the idiots that take undersize fish are just plain stupid what they dont realise is that they're taking fish stock that will keep us all smiling in years to come, and these morons are the first to whinge when the fishing gets tough and we dont catch as many- should have taken the rego mate and reported them, lets hope that karma really exists

Well done Poacher what part of Avoca beach were you fishing and has anything decent come out of Wamby lately, havent fished it for a couple of weeks, last thing i caught at Wamby was a sambo and a bronzy about 4ft Cheers Steve

Hi Anth great catch mate i bet they fight like mad, which rocks were you at, i'd love to hook one of those beauties Well done Steve

Hi HSM Top catch there mate, i've just bought a Yak for the first time and was thinking of hitting BW as i only live in Terrigal and being a newbie to yak fishing could do with some pointers, what type of lures ,tides decent spots etc, any info is much appreciated, and agin top fishing Cheers Steve

Thanks anyway Johnno, i'm sure i'll get to find out how beautiful this area is very shortly Cheers Steve Thanks Gid Any particular place on the Manning and the Dilgry, im based in the Central coast, thanks for the heads up on needing a spinning rod as well Cheers Steve

Hi Fellow Fishraiders Was just wondering two things 1 Where's the best place to fish for trout around Barrington Tops 2 Whats the best time of year to fish Eucumbine and Jindabine etc? i haven't been trout fishing for ages and NEED to get back in the swing of things Thanks All Steve

Hi Roberta Having flyfished in the Uk all my life and being a right hander, it seems more natural to wind left handed, the other reason is when playing a fish it seems more logical to use your stronger arm to control the rod when playing the fish, in case of sudden runs or lunges and use the weaker left hand to regain line, so i know it feels awkward at first but do try to persevere as it will become second nature over time and the control you will have of the lure will improve dramatically..... best of luck and tight lines Steve

Hi We fished Gunrunner in Oct and bagged out on Pearlies, had a great day and a great skipper Steve

Fantastic report roberta ( As always) Could you please give me some locations of where you fished as being new to here from the Uk ( 2 yrs) i still haven't taken my fly rods out just beach and rock fishing so far, and was planning a trip down there with my brother in the near future and didn't want to waste too much time trying to find good trout spots as it we will only be having a long weekend break Thanks again Steve

Hi Matt great post, i was wondering where TCD is and also Pejar, i know of Eucombine, although never fished there before (plan later in the year) Thanks mate and tight lines Steve

Hi Jonas, welcome to the mecca of fishing here in Aus, like you i jumped the pond from not so sunny Uk 2 years ago and after never ever been sea fishing or beach (trout fisherman in the Uk) I can say with all honesty that the fishing here is fantastic and the excellent help you get off fishraiders is first class, there are so many species to target and almost all of them taste better that cod, just keep asking the questions on this site and im sure you will pick it all up really quickly, if you look on some og the past thrteads you wil find that they have perch ( redfin) and carp here and both are much easier to catch than at home and the perch grow much bigger on average Anyway mate tight lines and good luck Steve

Hi Gid Do you have any info on where is best to fish in Barrington tops, i've heard that some of the bestplaces are on private land, don't know how true as ive never been but seeing as i live in Terrigal, its not too far to drive,any info would be appreciated( which rivers/streams/places etc Thanks Steve Hi Yes Dear Where abouts is flat rock, i live in Terrigal and would really lke to get back into the flyfishing after a 2 year lay off, got the bug back after a recent trip to NZ's south island Thanks Steve

Hi Offchops Fished SWR at the beginning of the month on Gunrunner, between the 4 of us we landed 20 pearl perch and a couple of snapper up north of the ramp, There were a few boats around fish rock looking for kingies and we saw loads of bait schools getting hammered in front of the goal the bar that day was really flat hope this helps Bunney

Yeah SWR has got to be one of the nicest and best fishing spots i#ve ever been to, can't wait to get back and do it all again

Hi Peter The bar was really flat and we went out about 20km north of the boat ramp, Sorry about the widest report Arman , still geting used to it
