I think baitrunner reel has two drag systems. When you want to adjust the front drag, do not switch the baitrunner lever on; But when you want to adjust the baitrunner drag/rear drag of course you need to switch the baitrunner lever on. Cheers, Andy

Hi Matt84, What bait did you use? What is the best bait for catching pigs? Thanks, Andy

Not only in the Harbour but also in Coogee many people got snappers at that sizes on white bread while targeting Blackfish atm. Cheers, Andy

Hi raiders, I went fishing to the usual cliff at Coogee this evening as the weather was pretty bad in the last few days. Managed to get to the spot at 4.00pm using my newly bought rod, a 12ft one-piece custom made and Daiwa vintage reel 4000X with 20lb monoline and white bread as bait. The first cast straightly hooked up with the biggest drummer I've ever caught. It pulled the line unbelievable. I could not crank the reel properly, so just twisted the handle many times. Another half an hour I got several bites but I pulled out the hooks, maybe the hooks I'd been using were too small as I could feel big fish pulled the line. Then I caught big pike, but I gave it to some one fishing next to me. As getting dark and I could not see my float anymore so I quit and got home at 5.10pm, not bad after long time got no chance for fishing. Have a nice weekend. Cheers, Andy

Thank you for the information as I went there last year and didn't see any gates. Andy

I think it has no gate, you can fish there 24 hours Cheers, Andy

Hi Chris, I live in Kingsford as well, at the moment we can catch blackfish, drummer and bream in eastern suburb coast, if you need accompany just pm or email me. Cheers, Andy

Hi Kirst, Use the transparentplastic tube which comes in the pack of the glow stick, insert the leader intothe tube then insert the glow stick into the tube so the tube will hold theleader and the glow stick together. Hope thishelp. Let us knowhow you go with it. Cheers, Andy

Hi James, First of all I'm not an expert. Maroubra beach is ok but you need to beat the north or south end of the beach. If you want to have rock fishing orcliff fishing I do not mind taking you to good spots. Cheers, Andy

Wait the low tide to collect yabbies so you do not need to get wet. Cheers, Andy

Hi Butch, It is good on the table as long as you know how to treat it. Cheers, Andy

Yes, wrapthe hook with the bread then squeeze it firmly. Cheers, Andy

Yes, I use running sinker on the main line to the swivel under a running float, then from the swivel to the hook using fluorocarbon leader 10lb 50cm. Cheers, Andy

Hi raiders, I’m posting a report after so long never posted any. I went to South Coogee today which took 5 minutes drive from my place. At 10.35am started fishing using white bread from the cliff, it was notwindy at all and the swells were not too big. First 40 minutes was slow and only caught small drummers and sent themback to grow bigger. Getting closer to high tide which was 12.28pm there was feeding frenziesand I caught these ones which were pretty entertaining on light gear. Cheers, Andy

You made me jealous with your location but not with your back, hope the view will promote the healing of your back. Andy

Hi Honk, Next time we can do lure fishing at Botany Bay, we can catch flatheads, breams, trevally and sometimes kingfish there. Cheers, Andy
