Woke up at 5.30 this morning and went down to the lake to try and catch some live bait, didnt have much luck there, ended up with two poddy mullet lol so i stopped and grabbed a bag of Pilchads on the way to the beach.
Headed on to Budgewoi beach at my normal spot and set up, Didnt really get any bites on the pilly gang hook rig or the live poddy so i just sat back and enjoyed the sun rise pretty much as seen in the pic below.
After about im guessing an hour or so of no bites finally the pilly rig went off and i landed a small Bream, Big enough to keep for a feed tho, after that i didnt get anything else and got sick of it and went home, but 1 fish is better then none i think.

Hey mate
Casting them at First can be hard and require practice but once you get the hang of it the benefits are great. When im out beach fishing i take my 12 Foot Spinning rod and a 5 Foot 6 Over head both with 25Lb Mono on them and the Overhead can easyily outcast the spin rod with little effort.
The main tip i can give you is to keep your finger on the spool even when casting because if you take it fully off your bound to get a birds nest, Although ive found when using 25Lb Mono on my Overhead i can take my finger off safely most of the time.

gday btk
ive been getting some good lizards and bream at picnic point just off to the left of the boat ramp at the entrance(just near the skate park) you dont really get much run in the water because of the state of the channel but ive fished both the run in and out with good success , ive been using live white eyes or small poddys and they seem to be the goods ...........also been getting some good lizards at the eny channel using the same baits but if you fish there use a float otherwise youll get snagged quiet a bit
if you wanna know anything else give me a shout mate
cheers steve
Hey mate
Thanks for that info ill probs try there
i have another question maybe you can help me with, where do you find the best live bait around that area and how do you catch it? (if you do)
Also do you know any decent suppliers of bait(frozen or live) in or around the Entrance Area.
Cheers

get hold of a yak if u can and fish the flats you cant go wrong appart from that you can wade the water ocean side of the bridge fish the flats and drop offs plenty of lizards,bream and whiting around there
mick
Thanks mate ill check that out
What are you targaeting?
Do you own beach gear? As there is some great beach fishing to be had around the entrance
Dan
most likely end up targeting flatties, bream and whiting.
I do have beach gear, thats what sort of fishing i do mostly, ill take that gear but most likely end up walking around the flats because i feel like a little bit of a change
but its always good to have a back up plan!
cheers

Gday all
Ive lived on the Central coast all my life but never seriously fished the Entrance and i was thinking of getting out there this thursday or friday and i was wondering if anyone could tell me where any good land based spots are out there and when to fish them like on high or low tide.
Cheers

Nice flatty mate! well done
-
Great report Cory. Nice tailor too.
The shot of the dolphins riding the waves is sensational!
It looks like something has had a go at the salmon alright. Would a squid or cuttlefish do that? Also, is it just the photo or does the salmon's tail look really big in comarison to the body?
Cheers
Peter
Not sure about the tail, it was actually the first salmon i caught and i did not even know what it was until i got home because once i got the hook out i snapped a quick pic and got him back in the water so he would hopefully be released safely
-
Great report mate. It looks like the salmon has a bite taken out of it....
Thanks mate and yeh it did not sure what might of taken a bite out of it, but it wasnt me

Hey all
Went out this morning, got to the beach at about 6am or just before sunrise.
Started off using some Squid i caught a few nights back and caught a decent sized Tailor roughly 40 Cms i think (pic below). Got sick of using squid so i changed to Servo Pillies which i caught a smaller Tailor on and threw back, after that there wasnt much action for a while until i started seeing some Dolphins cutting through the waves out the back, after watching the dolphins swim past i hooked up to a decent salmon and landed it which i threw back aswell. Stoped fishing around 9am.
Tailor i kept
Dolphins
Salmon

Cheers
Cory

hey mate
i cant answer if it helps you catch fish or not, but i know where ever i go land based fishing i always take my beach rod just because im attached to it lol, get some wierd looks sometimes but its my fav set up and most comfortable to fish with.
Cheers

lol i hate cats, if fish were to be called Seakittens then i guess i would never throw any back. Just kidding but it really is a stupid name for a fish, if anything all its good for is a Laugh

Down the road from my house there is a Jetty that has a light on it, of a night all i do is put a squid jig on with a float on it, and have the squid jig fairly close to the top so i can see it in the water. Just wait and give it a few jingles every now an then, when the squid come around they will attack it and u just have to try to pull them up onto the jetty from there.
Cheers

Wow Mate, thats a great fish! Good work

Nice boat mate id love a set up like that.
As for looking after gear like what was said earlier on in this post is to give a wash with fresh water and use Innox or Lanox (pretty sure its the same thing?) after spraying it with the innox or lannox put the reel away from ur clothes and give it a wind so it doesnt clog up the reel and get all crappy if u dont fish for a while. and Also every few months either give your reels a service yourself or take them to a tackle shop and have them serviced. If you do it yourself you can put a water proof lubricant around the gear and all those parts to protect it a little more.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Cory
