hey are u that bloke who asked me n dave to throw our lines in and u told us how the fish wuld react????

thanks for the advise mate

thanks hodgey that was some mad info cabbage and weed its some tough bait to get but worth it i reckon thnks tobe ill giv it a go next time im down there also u got any tips for fishing the flathead down there??

hawkesbury dave and i headed out to narrabeen lakes last week in hope of catching some flathead. we reached the caravan park at the northern side of the lake at about 5am. besides of seeing a massive rat i didnt see or feel anything. so we packed the stuff in the car and went to the local fishing shop. dave bought a new daiwa combo and we also bought some poppers, soft plastics and tuna oil. the bloke who owned the place gav us some good advice. sun came up by then so we headed back to the same spot and i was using my 8ft daiwa combo and landed a couple tailor with a soft plastic. without having much luck we ventured around to find some other spots but the same sort of crappy luck followed us. all we caught was a couple small bream. by the time it reached 10am we were back to our original spot. we spotted couple blokes fishing with some serious gear on. also they were pulling in some serious blackfish which i hadnt seen before. so we fished the same spot throughout the day. by that time i pulled out the prawns and grabbed my 10 year old jarvis walker combo ive had since i was young instead of my 8 footer. the prawns worked a treat. i had landed about 11 bream but nothing huge. and 2 fish i hadnt caught before. a flounder and a trevally. hawkesbury dave landed mostly the same bream. but for the 30 od fish caught (and released) we caught no blackfish. just out of curiosity how do u catch blackfish???? but overall the day was fun fishing a new spot. but again we are open for tips for narrabeen lakes. me n dave are landbased fishos so we were wondering how to land some flathead and blackfish in the narralakes.. cheers astina

thanks tripper for the info will be used during the next trip

hey fellow raiders yesterday i went down to apple tree bay with my cousins also yesterday was the first day i tried using soft plastics. my cousin supplied some "squidgies" so no to be greedy i grabbed one and attached it to an oversized ancient fluro green jighead. after several attempts in one spot down stream i headed towards this submerged tree and started casting from there. after about 3-4 casts using several flicking techniques i caught my 1st fish on a soft plastic. it was a 33cm tailor my inexperience lead to my curiousity. id like to know more about soft plastics and lures my target fish in the hawkesbury are flathead, bream, whiting, mullet and possibly jewfish. can you all recommend some soft plastics and lures cheers astina

shunter insane catch and good report. Wat type of lures did u use to catch them??

great catch do they put up much of a fight?? if yes compared to which fish??
