  1. There's plenty of Trevs around this size in the harbour at the moment. Great fun on light gear!
  2. That's a good haul buddy, well done.
  3. Very nice Kings! Cracking fish mate.
  4. The spines on a flat fella definitely hurt when they get you, and as mentioned they are covered in an anti-coagulant which means you bleed for ages. I read about the belly rub many years ago and last time I got pinged by a big flatty I tried it....it definitely helped the blood to clot and stopped the bleeding relatively quickly. It still stings though! I figured the slime must be some sort of self-protection for the flatty....if one of his mates hits him with a spike, the coagulant in the slime helps ensure he doesn't bleed too much. That is my completely un-scientific opinion but it seems to make sense.
  5. Just logged back onto FR for the first time in a few years and was catching up....very sorry to hear about the passing of Byron. The few nights I spent fishing with him on the Hawkesbury will stay with me forever. Rest in Peace old mate.
  6. Good stuff Byron..glad to hear you're back at it mate! And what a way to make your comeback Would be good to catch up again soon, it's been a very long time. Cheers Tony
  7. Nice report Ray, and love the pic of the Bream... Bad luck about the finger but good luck with the badge draw! Cheers Tony
  8. I don't recall insulting or abusing anyone. Lesson learnt
  9. Pukunui- it's a great spot... I love fishing there, thanks for your comments about the photos! Byron- close mate but it's not actually that wharf it's another one a bit further up river. Guys I have had a lot of people asking me to name the spot, I hope you can understand I'd rather not broadcast it over the internet as these kind of spots tend to cop a hammering as it is. The same advice I give everyone is you don't need to know the specific spot, just look for sandy areas interspersed with patches of kelp or seagrass and fish the run-in tide up to the top. There are literally thousands of possible places to get squid, especially in Pittwater, you just need to put in the time and effort to find the areas yourselves! Cheers Tony
  10. Ahhh Byron you're a crack-up mate! Would be great to have another session with you blokes in the near future...I really enjoyed the cold I caught last time Richard - Yeh mate there was a vapour trail quite close to the horizon when I got there and then watched the jet go over a bit later and leave the massive one through the middle of the sky..it stayed there for ages too....Cool stuff. Cheers Tony
  11. Steve I did think of you but it was only a short session so didn't bother calling.. We should catch up soon though mate, it's been a while. I didn't take the fish spike on this occasion but I think that definitely could've made the difference, will have to remember to take one next time.
  12. Hi guys Fished a favourite wharf in Pittwater on saturday arvo for a couple of hours. I haven't got out to fish in months cause I've been so busy with work so it was nice to be back near the water... Quite a few squid around but they were very shy and were snubbing their noses at the 6 or 7 different jigs I threw at them.. Dropped a couple that hit the side of the jig before landing this nice one on a 2.0 yamashita.... My mate caught a throwback fanbelly jacket and the guys next to us pulled this solid bream, other than that very quiet on the fish front... Anyway it was an awesome evening to be out in the fresh air and another decent bait in the freezer! Cheers Tony
  13. That's what I thought! Certainly looks similar.
  14. Ah bugger! Wish I'd seen this earlier mate it would've been good to see you and get out on the water again! Catch up soon. Cheers Tony
  15. Very nice catch there Gary. Sherackattack.....Sharked = the shark taking your dinner for lunch, lucky brickman had some backups! Cheers Tony
  16. Congratulations Steve! I bet you and the missus are over the moon.. I'll have to catch up with you again soon mate once the new bub has settled in. Cheers Tony
  17. As already mentioned... Yakkas, trevs, flathead, bonito are all great... Mmmm I'm getting hungry. Cheers Tony
  18. Yet another good report mate... Interesting looking fish that one. Cheers Tony
  19. Nice kings mate... Can't wait to get out after some myself its been too long! Cheers Tony
  20. Nice report Jake Good work on the kings mate... Let me know if you ever need some company. Cheers Tony
