Hi, I know we have a section for Desperate and Boatless, my impression of this section is to try get a ride as a deckie. What about something like a Fishing Trips section, where people landbased can post up a trip, such as Beach fishing, Land base Jew Fishing etc. I have a beach outfit and only ever used it once and got this shites with it, but am keen to give it another go if there are people out there that go beach fishing and wouldn't mind a tag along.

I was gonna say I grew up in Lansvale and never heard of this club, but just noticed it is in Canley Vale Dan

My wife and I had a call from one of these numbers today.

Hi, Anyone able to help me ID what sort of fish this is? Dan

Good stuff, the Kings go pretty hard, always good to crack your first. With regard to jagging, it is illegal..below from DPI website. Line fishing No more than 4 rods or lines to be used or set by any one person at any one time. No more than 3 hooks or 3 gangs of hooks attached per line.(A gang of hooks should have no more than 5 hooks.) One line may have 6 single hooks with lure attached to be used by the method of hand jigging only. No more than 3 treble hooks attached to a lure. Jagging is illegal (hooking, or attempting to hook, fish other than through the mouth). Drift lines are banned.

You can also download an emulator off the Lowrance site. Dan

hehe, yeah dunno what happened there maybe the fish was jumping or somethin

Well, Hit the Port Hacking today, late start, hit the water about 11am, this was my first Trip on the Port for a bait fish, only second time ever visited. Stopped off for a while attempted to pump some yabbies, gave up on that and decided to use some old prawns and pilchard I was going to use as berley. Anyway, motored out near Bundeena and chucked a line in, I was on within seconds, not even time to get the second rod out, was a nice Trevor, kept catching trevors for the next couple hours, with a Bream and Tarwhine thrown in the Mix, got 11 Keeper fish over the next few hours. Also Managed my first Kingy! (on diced pilchard), but not legal size(42cm), was using 6lb vanish, damn these things go hard, seemed to take an eternity for him to finally concede defeat, can only imagine how a big Kingy would fight. Anyway, top day on the water... here are a couple pics. First Kingy! Final Tally Dan

I didn't think you could eat the fish out of the harbour at the moment? Dan

Had a watch of the first DvD tonight, not to bad, worth watching, shows a lot of spots that are easily identifiable. ps. Not sure if the Title for "Tackle Talk" is supposed to have weird spelling, but in the DVD it says "Taclke Talk"

See you this arvo, put 1 of each aside for me

Ok great, That helps heaps, will give it a go next time. Dan

Was up North this week and pumped some live yabbies, I was rigging the hook through the tail, the yabbies seemed to be eaten up right away but, the hooks never seemed to set. How do you rig live yabbies? Dan

Hi guys, Am heading up to Port Macquarie next month and was wondering if there are any good Bassing spots up that way. Any suggestions...thanks Dan

Well, this was my second out ever for Bass, managed to break my virginity last week with a small one... Hit the water at a leisurely 9am down at Yarramundi bridge, paddled straight past the lagoon, and another bloke helped me carry my yak over the rocks. Within in a few minutes of casting I had my first Bass of 31cm..measured this on to tip..forgot Bass measurments are different . Moved along over the weed barriers, changed lure to a bett spin casting for a while, had a touch, cast back in and bang...this one fought much better than the last, I think it managed to get under a log, as I couldnt pull it any more...let out some line...off we go again it came free, this turned out to be a 32cm Fork bass![] Had a few more casts for a couple touches and follows but no hookups. On the way back there was a nice log sticking out from the water, thought might as well have a cast at that, looks like it should hold something...well, lure hit the water and got smashed!...this thing went like the clappers...felt like I was pulling up a log!..rod bent over, drag was tight, loosened drag a bit and put the pressure on..I think I had the mother load! As the fight subsided up came a BIG bass and a PB Bass for me to beat. 38cm Fork! Got a coulple more small bass on the way back ended up with 5 Bass from 9 - 1230 Here is a few pics.... 38CM Fork! 31CM 32CM Fork Dan

Speaking of wearing glasses, here is a recent incident. Link to the news article ..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_east/4315748.stm Dan

Plenty of yakas around Lion Island.

Nice catch....where were you fishing out of...Botany?, Pittwater?, Sydney? etc, no need for exact location just interested in the water way. Thanks Dan

Yeah, u gotta be careful... Was reading In one of the fishing mags... There was a story about a father and son fishing, and the hook was stuck on something, when it came free it went right into the kids eye and ripped it open...needless to say he is now blind in one eye. The point of the story was to make sure your eyes are covered all the time with things such as sunglasses..a freak accident can happen any time. I know myself the hook sometimes comes close to the face....thankfully only hand hookages so far <touch wood> Dan.

Here is a link to a couple websites..... All Sizes - http://www.flyworld.com.au/view/navigation...str=foam+popper Sizes 1,2,4,8 http://fishouttawater.com.au/main_itemdeta...tAbsolutePage=2 Hope this helps. Dan

I trim until the boat starts to porpoise, then adjust the trim so the porpoising just stops. Dan

Oh hehe, I like the site ...I forget what I tell to who heh. Dan

you could try this aussie kayaking site... www.akff.net hope this is allowed by the mods Dan
