Hi guys I'm heading out for an early session tomorrow morning but I've never fished Berowra before. I've heard along the shore in front of the houses is good for bream but if anyone can give any other spots would be greatly appreciated. I'll be in a boat so i can travel around, thanks.

Hi guys the kids are back at school and I'm bored so I thought I might have a go at fishing the Nepean around penrith. I've never fished here so I would like any info on where to go and what lures to use, I will be on foot. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi I have one of the fishing calendars but I don't think it is very good. The best thing I have is a navionics map. It shows depths in feet, meters or fathoms. It shows your speed, you can save gps marks. if you find a productive spot you can mark it so you can go back to it. It shows your trip and drift patterns so you can set your drift over pinnacles/holes. You can can also take landmark photos as a point of reference. I never leave home without it.

Hi I'm going up to Forster for a week at the end of January and I'm thinking of taking the boat up. If there is any one who could share a few spots/ tips on the area would be greatly appreciated. Also what is the bar like at the entrance to the lake and what sort of fish can I expect to catch? Thanks.

I raiders I've just bought a downrigger and have a few questions. Should I put my rod in the rod holder provided with the downrigger or put it in the boat. I'm a bit concerned about putting a $1500+ rod and reel in a plastic rod holder. If not should I put the rod in front or behind the downrigger, the downrigger will be in one of the rod holders as well. I'm getting serious about catching my first kingie this season and need a little help. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tips guys, hopefully I get to test it out this weekend. By the way it's a "black marlin" brand downrigger if that's any help.

Hi I've just bought a downrigger and am not sure as to what size weight and clip tension use. I'll be be using it to chase kings etc, so any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Education needs to start with our children. I often take my kids out on the boat and they have ball. All fish that they catch go into the live tank and they take turns in releasing them when we r finished so they can go back to their " mums and dads". Now I personally don't eat fish, I fish for the sport but they eat it and understand that a fish has to be a certain size before they can take it home. Unfortunately for my old man this means that most legal catches go back for another day as well. If we can educate from a young age there a better chance that they can do the same thing with their kids.( kids ages r 4 and 8 ).

Hi raiders, I was hoping someone could give me a few tips on the best place to get live bait in and around the cowan creek system, thanks.

Hi raiders, took my 4yr old son out for his first fish today. We didnt have much time so we only went out to parra river for a quick session. The wind was blowing but we had to make the most of it anyway. My mate landed a nice bream at 28cm, took a few pics and into the live tank for release later on. A couple more babies came then finally I helped my young bloke wind in his first ever fish. It was only a baby tailor but he got his photo taken and was proud as punch. He is taking the photo to school for news. He now wants his own blue rod as he had to use his sisters pink one. While we were there we also found a very big and deep hole just off cabarita point that was holding fish. With the right tide and winds it looks like it could be a goer. I was wondering if anyone else knows of this hole and if my suspicions are right, thanks.

Hi mate sometimes I find that a little bit of scent on the jig helps as well. I also find that when they won't touch the usual colours a jig in natural colour always does the trick. I hope this helps for next time. Reguards Michael

Thanks for your replies guys we have since decided to hit the hawksebury with an arsenal of plastics and bait to try and keep out of the weather.

Hi guys I am heading out on Monday and can't decide where to go. I am not too sure if there will be too much fresh water in the hawkesbury. Any information on either would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I was just wondering anyone has a opinion on the Samurai Reaction range of rods. I have a 701 teamed up with a twin power 2500 with 4 pnd braid and think it might just be the best ever light rod I've used.
