Went out today to Botany for some land based fishing. I was hoping to get some action for my first session of the fishing season. Two small snapper, which were returned. Went over to Captain cooks bridge as a change of tactic, not even a bite. I don't know if it was me or the water was still cold. All in all it was a great day to go out and wet a line. Better luck next time. Tight lines fish raiders!!!!!! Regards Breamfisher82

Well done champ, that is a great haul of fish considering the weather. Mate mind do I ask, where abouts in Lugarno were you fishing, anywhere near the seafood restraunt? Regards breamfisher82

mate that is a top effort, I'd be stoked with that result. Mate mind do i ask were you using full pillies or half pillies? cheers breamfisher82

Thank heaps guys for your words of wisdom and knowledge on the uswe of plastics. I will be taking all that was said on board and try all the techniques mentioned. To be honest I am lucky I asked because I did'nt have a clue on how to use them. Now on the better note, I went out again on Thursday Arvo to the same location using green prawns. I was initially using a mustad size 1 bait holder hook casting out, letting it settle for a while and then tightining the line. I would feel bites however no hook up. This went on for abour 45 minutes. I decided to change to plan b which was off goes the size 1 on comes the size 4 bait holder hook, only this time using smaller pieces of prawn. Out goes the cast, tighten the line and what do you know I'm hooked. I thought it was a flatty the way my line tightened however once retrieved I see it is a whiting and a good one for East Hills on the georges river, measuring up to 31cm.

Hi there fish raiders. This will be my first posting on this site. After reading so much success with the plastics you guys have i decided to buy some myself and give em a go myself. I mainly use nippers and prawns as bait howvever I decided to to change my style of fishing. Wnet out this arvo to East Hills on the Goerges River right under the train bridge, using 3" minnows and a berlkey 1/4OZ jig head. Was there flicking for about 2 hours, no luck and not a touch. Despite all that it was still good to get out and have a go. Was wandering if anyone has any tips and hints on how to be sucessful with plastic. For now safe and happy fishing to all
