    Great catch Peter,

    The flatties are perfect size and the Rock Cod is a nice bonus- I hear they are good eating???

    Yeah I heard them refered to as "poor man lobster"... The only time I've caught one big enough to eat was well before I would have considered eating them. :05:

    Hey mate,

    Have spent a fair bit of time out there in the last 6-12 months and for the most part it's been very disappointing. =P I will add that we have only been fishing SPs. (soft plastics) One thing I can tell you is that there is no shortage of Seargent Bakers and plenty of Red rock cods, or whatever they are. Only fish I have kept from there are a 75cm jewie caught at the crack of dawn and a small slimery mackeral for bait.

    I've heard from a few mates that bait works well on pinkies out there but yeah, I hardly ever fish with bait.

    Worth a shot though. If you can get out there on a calm morning then the fish are only a bonus.

    Best of luck.

    Quick Question Regarding Closed Threads.

    Evening Fishraider,

    Firstly, I realise this isnt a fishing report so feel free to move it to the appropriate area but please dont close it.

    I've just noticed lately that any thread that has even the slightest amount of contraversy involved is closed as soon as being viewed by a mod. I understand this is a family site but I feel it is important that the contraversial issues are discussed for the knowledge of those that may not understand the rules and regulations that apply to fishing and the waterways in general.

    Everybody has the right to their say so maybe instead of just shutting everyone down for having their's maybe it'd be a better idea to create a new section of the forum for these matters. That way people can choose whether or not they want to view the content and get involved.

    If the thread turns into petty name calling and fighting then I agree to close it then but from what I see the majority of the members on here are mature and fair, well, the ones that post anyway.

    Tight lines. :1fishing1:

    Few Fish Off Dee Why

    Got them on bait. Not very sporting bottom bashin out there in the deep but I usually get a feed if the weathers OK and there is not too much current..

    I have had a few unsuccessful tries in close with lures, and have put some SP on the bottom rig sometimes but only seem to get the seargent Baker on them.

    Regards

    Yeah we've had our fare share of seargent bakers that's for sure. Have got some crackers too I'll admit..

    Noticed you're in Pennant Hills as well! Props to be a local.. I'm in Thornleigh..

    Nice fish mate well done, but im not sure if you would have the record. I was fishing at Swansea in the school holidays and i got a 74cm 3.25kg on an Instinct baitfish profile. They are truly great fun on the 6pound gear arent they :thumbup:

    I will try and upload a pic but i admit that stupidly i never put the fish next to a measurement device as i was caught in the moment and decided to let the fish swim free again; only dawned upon me after i put him back that he could be record contender.

    Anyway mate well done just the same :thumbup::thumbup:

    Hey mate just looking at your PB's in your sig and noticed you have listed a 113cm flattie! :1yikes:

    Can I ask when that was?? And possibly where?

    That is insane.

    Woy Woy Road And Rail Jew

    in Fishing Reports

    Got my Ps yesterday and also recieved a calcutta TE200 in the mail (ebay ftw) so I took the reel out for a test drive. I was shorebased, tide was just about to stop running in, weather was fine, nippy but no clouds and there was a heap of baitfish activity. Started off casting a powerbait prawn and after a few inspections decide to step up to a 7" gulp jerk shad. A little big some might say but I've been trying to get a jewie on a lure for ages... 2nd cast I come up solid but the hook pulls. :1badmood: Wasnt really expecting it... a few casts later I hook up to something that reefs me, I'm suspecting jew :ranting2: This was all under the rail side.

    Had to call it as I had no other tackle to rerig as the main purpose of the outing was to give the new reel a workout...

    So my lure jewie hoodoo persists... :mad3:

    cheers

    owen

    Unlucky! Sounds like a bit of fun though!

    Where were you exactly? At the rail bridge that woy woy bay flows out through? I'm confused because you said Woy woy road....?

    Cheers!

    It certainly is a great feeling landing a croc that big.. My PB went 90cm and I was shaking for a good 10mins afterwards.. :1prop:

    Would love to see some pics of her??

    Edit- Awesome fish

    What a beautiful looking fish...

    Not that that's what I'd be saying had it just taken my leg for lunch :1yikes:

    I also agree with Shaune and Chewy though. It's pretty disgusting how the media has portrayed this. The last thing we want is irresponsible fisherman, and there are plenty of them out there, to get the idea that they are going to go out shark hunting. I realise the bull shark is a killer and a menace to humans but it still deserves as much respect as the great white shark.

    Anyway that's my 2 cents.

    How big is your new boat?

    I'll be up the coast this weekend but just be aware of the conditions if it's your first time out. All weekend are expecting fresh NE winds developing and reaching up to 30kts, approx 50kmh. It's going to get bumpy out there.

    Also, watch out for the great whites :1yikes:

    Best 'o luck!

    Narrabeen Lakes

    Hi Astina, I used to live on Mactier st, the lake was at the end of my driveway. If you fish alongside the road there with chicken breast, you'll get some fantastic bream. Hope this helps abit.

    Goodluck. Tobe

    Agreed!

    Not so much about the spot (as I haven't fished Narra Lakes for years) but chicken breast, wooah!

    I was very sceptical at first when my stepdad suggested chicken breast as a bait but I was keen. Fishing off our jetty in Phegans Bay on the central coast small bream, snapper and whiting are common on bait. We went down one night with chicken breast and only caught keepers! Also caught the biggest snapper I ever have on chicken breast at 26cm. Not big (or legal) by any means but a good fish and nice fight on light gear. Back she went to grow a few inches more.

    But yeah, chicken breast works.

    I find all you need is a hand line, a fish head and some patience.

    We just throw the bait out and wait fro them to start pulling. Then very very slowly retrieve it as to not spook them. Then just scoop them up with a net when they are in range.

    Have caught heaps like this.

    Random tip - Put them in the freezer for 10mins before putting them in the pot. It's far more humane.

    Pb Flattie In Brisbane Waters

    I was fishing Brisbane Waters too around the same time too. But I didn't catch anything. Oh may be just one tailor which caught itself on a left alone hard body lure while I rest.

    I am very envious of the flatheads that you guys caught. Good work!

    Thanks mate!

    It wont be long until you are catching good flathead as well. If you're not sure it pays to ask where you should be going and what baits/lures to use. I was using soft plastics and drifting in one of the many channels near to the rip bridge. There is plenty of fish about so its only a matter of time.

    Good luck!
