Size 4000 should be alright for beach and light rock fishing using 12 lbs main line and 10 lbs leader. Cheers, Andy

Hi Krist, Use small float, small hook #10, small (4lbs) and short leader about 30cm, tinny sinker with small piece of white bread on the hook. Don't forget to burley/chum with crushed bread Hope it works, let me know how it goes. Cheers, Andy

Why don't you just try to make them by your own that will even give you a chance of selling lures. There are a lot of info on the net about how to make fishing lures. Andy

Hi Julian, PM sent. Cheers, Andy

If blackfish, drummer and bream that you are after just go to Maroubra or South Coogee. I'll be fishing there tomorrow or Thursday morning, if you are interested just pm me I'll take you there. Cheers, Andy

It seems it is due to the low air pressure has been currently. Andy

The success of sharpening a knife depends on: The quality of metal the knife is made of The quality of the water stone/sharpening stone used The way we do sharpening the knife I bought and used this attached water stone and I am impressed with the result. Andy

Hi Steve, Looking forward to reading the result. Cheers, Andy

The sea was flat, no wave at all. Sun shone brightly with a little wind. The water was clear as I could see the bottom with my polarized sunglasses. It looked as if no good for fishing, but I got 4 breams and one trevally on white bread in two hours from 7.30am to 9.30 am. I gave away one bream and one trevally The other guys fishing at the same spot got sweeps and wrasses with bottom fishing. Good for exercise

Happy Birthday fishraider and thanks a lot to all the moderators who have been working so hard and all members who have been participating to make this website the best fishing website. I have to acknowledge that I have made a lot of friends through fishraider and I learnt a lot about fishing through fishraider. As fishing is one of my hobbies I like most that makes my life in retirement beautiful. Good luck and keep being the best. Andy

Yes it is. Some people do not like it as it has poisonous spikes, but some do not mind.

Went fishing at Coogee this morning, the weather was beautiful. Started from 7.30am until 9.30am using white bread and got 4 mixed fish, one silver trevally 29cm was released

Wow, by doing that you have created a new recipe. But actually you didn't need to add sugar and curry paste as it becomes Chinese and Indian fusion fish recipe. They are competing each other at the moment.

Hi mate, Have you ever made it steamed with ginger and spring onion or shallot? It is a Chinese recipe. Just scale, gut and clean it including the black line inside. Make 2 diagonal slices on each side and rub the fish with lemon juice and salt, then leave it 20 minutes in the fridge. Cut 2 spring onions or shallots into 2 cm length and julienne 3cm ginger into tooth pick size. Chop 2 cloves of garlic into small pieces. Boil water on a steamer. Put the fish on a round Pyrex glass plate with some of the ginger and spring onion at the bottom and some covering the fish. Put 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and cover it with aluminum foil and steam it for 10 minutes. While steaming the fish, fry the chopped garlic with 3 tablespoons of sesame oil until golden brown and pour it on top of the steamed fish and keep steaming it for another 4 minutes without the aluminum foil cover. You can have it with steamed rice. Have a nice try and let me know how it goes. Andy

Yes, it's getting harder to collect nippers in Winter time, as they are in hibernation. Cheers, Andy

Hi Keegz, Which part of Sydney are you going to fish at? But it looks it's gonna be to windy to fish this week. Cheers, Andy

Hi Kevin, I do not mind taking you and your 4yo son to some safe fishing spots in Sydney eastern suburb. I'd suggest fishing with bait. I think fishing from the wharf is safe but still we need to keep our eyes at the kid. Unfortunately I do not have little kid as my youngest son is 26yo. You are lucky as the memory will last forever. Cheers, Andy

Donna and Stewy, I am very sorry to hear of your loss, My sincerest condolences to you and your family through this difficult time, Regards, Andy

Starting from what time mate? Tomorrow afternoon will be nice. Andy

Hi Dave, If you want someone to accompany you fishing just contact me as I live in Eastern suburb as well. Then we can learn together. Cheers, Andy

I caught bream, snapper,tarwhine,trevally, flathead, tailor, Yellowtail, flounder, crab, wrasse, sweep, catfish, eel,Sergent baker etc Andy

Hi David, I live in Kingsford close to Coogee, I fish land based, maybe we can go fishing together someday when the weather alright. Regards, Andy

Hi James, If I am not mistaken people call it Mistral Point. You can catch calamari from that point at night. Of course there are also bream, trevally and tailor. But you will get a problem to lift big fish up from the cliff. I have got one if you like just PM me. Cheers, Andy

Is there anything to do with the current low air pressure ( check seabreeze) Cheers, Andy
