im going out on a stink boat on friday mornning and want to target kingfish .[ who dosnt ] so thursday arvo i thought ide take the kids fishing for some yellowtail or garfish . im at willoughby so i thought of heading to one of the MANY wharfs in the area BUT which one do i go to ??????? any help would be apreciated . cheers craig

yep me to i keep all my remaining gulps in a waterproof container [ planno make these] with gulp alive juice . i also have a problem with gulp comming out of the pack all twisted and unusable ..... this is why im going back to squidgies . i know the juice smells but its not as bad as pilchard juice ............ craig

I 2 am no expert but i always seem to manage a good feed of flathead . the way i fish for them from the yak is i simply put on a 3 or 4 inch plastic ie gulp minnow - squidgy wrigler. i then just cast it out and stick it in a rod holder and then as im drifting i flick around with another rod chaseing bream or whatever. i always pickup a flathead on the drift . works for me craig

Yeah that 200klm walk can be a killer as well craig

i want to go for a quick beach fish tomorrow night .thinking curl curl ?????? anyone know how the northern beaches is fishing at the moment . craig

if you are useing very light weight jig heads go down to 2 lb or 3lb crystal fire line with a GOOD quality fluro [ i use sunline rock ] u will cast further u will catch more fish [ and loose more ] 2lb crystal breaks at around 4- 5 lb so it is plenty strong enough . if u are fishing these light jigheads u really should fish ultra light lines to compliment the sp,s . i have a 1-3kg bekley dropshot and i run 2 ld fluro straight through and 2 lb crystal and i love the outfit. craig

surely lures should be able to take being left in the sun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean u pay enough for them so ide be taking them back to where u bought them and ask for new ones ! what next fishing rods that fall to bits because they have water on them . craig

i agree but will add use as light as line [ fluro ] as u can get away with , smaller wrigglers are good also [ bloodworm my best as well ] and eco gear sx40s . these are small suspending type minows and bream LOVE them . good luck craig

jeeezzz thanks for the heads up i spose with the increse of better water conditions and fish stocks on the increase it only natural for these things to be more prevalent as well craig

noice well done craig

Heading up to avoca for a couple of days . and im taking my new light beach outfit [ and a medium as well ] does anyone now how its fishing at the moment ??? craig

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW craig

yeah braid in the surf and mono on the rocks craig

the shorts on the news said A MAN WAS BITTEN BY A SHARK AT AVOCA TODAY . now i read that a man was bitten on the foot by a shark that he stepped on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no wonder i dont watch the news or buy newspappers . what sort of shark was it ???? wobygong ???? jeez imagine the story if he had trodden on a great white craig

sensationonal stuff guys thats alot of fish u have caught over the last few weeks i hope u use them wisely good on u wanna take me fishing ???? craig

and people think yako,s are crazy for fishing on yaks when there in a shark enviroment ............ WELL how do u explain this guy swimming next to this shark ??????????????????????????????? at any time the shark could have turned and done some sereous damage nuts craig

Thats the way and a nice yak 2 boot c ya at balmoral craig

Yeah i dont fish there because i do not feel comfortable about being out there . most of the guys that fish out there are expirenced and well equiped and confadent . they dont fish alone [ 15 out yesturday ] they have shark shields pfd,s flairs , and all safety equipment that is required by law ,they access wether to go out or not and weigh up the risk .for them they accept the risk . acording to statistics there is more chance of getting killed driving to longo than there is of fishing longo . more surfers and divers have been attacked over the years yet no one says oh dont go surfing or diving . i actually think there is more risk of getting run over by a boat than there is of getting taken by a shark which is the main reason i dont go off shore . any way c u ya on the water craig

Mates where fishing in yaks of longo this morning and u guessed it a 5 mtr gws was swimming around ...... i reakon its the same shark as last year ................................... craig

guys i fish balmoral ALL the time . i am on a kayak the wharf alway has people trying to fish in the best position . it often gets sholder to sholder and i do not really see alot of fish come in ................................................................................................ as i said im on a kayak so i dont get that i only get bad atitude from some fishos when im setting up . i catch good fish ... i dont get haslled on the water .... i can usually fish the areas land fishos are trying to cast to . i was fishing around the wharf this mornning and i saw nothing but yellow tail landed . i on the other hand caught a salmon - a big travelly - 2 nice snapper - a bream as well as variouse throw back fish . i can chase the schools of palagics that come in as well as fish the hulls of boats for bream with ease . dont know what im trying to say . my wife says im bragging i just think this area iis so much more suited to yak fishin or boat fish than being land locked . craig

no something heavyer maybe 12lb . fluro leaders under a float cast out ur float then through out some burley around the float . this should do the trick . oh and i like adjustedpetes comments as well craig

clear with a splash of red seems to do the job rebel make a good one

Parramatta river in Parramatta park . lots of the big ones as well . burley up - corn as bait and hang on . oh dont put any back that u catch . craig

disclaimers are ONLY valid if they are read with a legal professional AND are deamed fair and acceptble by both parties . ie: the disclaimers [saying the ski resorts are not responsable for anything ]on the back of ski tickets are NOT worth the paper there writen on . craig
