Hey Guys,
Will be visiting relatives in Narooma next week thinking of doing some fishing will be land based. Can someone point me in the right direction where to fish beach or rocks?

No pictures as phone battery died. Usually have good success with whiting in the summer months rate them highly as a table fish.

Can gurantee that bream was nearly 26cm above legal size I would never keep undersized fish let alone post them online.

Haven't posted in a while.
Have been fishing regularly this summer decided to go fishing Monday at botany bay was finding it hard to find bait was about to pull the plug found some beach worms at a bait shop made my way down good conditions stayed for roughly 2 hours manages a big whiting 46cm and a bream also lost a big bream near the shore.
Headed out to same spot on Wednesday late start at 1pm had work in the morning missed the high tide had bloodworms and tube worms weather and wind looked good so headed out to try my luck stayed 3 Hours all up caught 2 thumper whiting and a big bream out of bait so headed home.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for you detailed review Jim much appreciated.
Huey i will have a look at the stacer range.
I was asking about side thickness after reading on various forums about thin sides been bent after heavy use. I find this hard to believe but would there really be a benefit over 1.6mm or 2mm ?

Hey Guys,
Finally decided after all these years fishing land based its time to buy a boat.
Have narrowed down to a Quintrex Lazeabout.
Now they come in 2 sizes I am interested in the 481 (Topsides are 1.60mm and max 70HP) and a 490 (Topsides are 2.0mm and max 90HP.)
Do the topsides make any difference as I will be using the boat mostly in the bays and maybe on good days around the heads and a little off shore work.
Yamaha or Suzuki which would I be leaning more towards or be looking at closely? (As the dealer now in Sydney is apparently a Suzuki dealer)
Anyone with these boats let me know what they think.
Thanks.

Awesome fish congrats.
Now time to get myself to NZ.

Just watch where you store it or rats will have a feast on it.

Good effort been out there in that weather. That king will come soon.

Just below Cook Park...
Few undersized whiting and stingrays..
Think water is still a tad cold summer months anywhere along the beach fishes well.

Nicely done. Top catch.

Jenno - It was a big unit didnt have much of a fight though. I have been getting 40+cm consistently this summer.
Anything goes - I just use yabbies i pump around at the sailing club at san souci or blood worms when available. I usually fish during the day I dont bother early morning or late afternoon. I just fish off the beach dont bother going on the groynes. Hope this helps.
Regards,
John

Hey Guys,
Headed out today for a quick session down to brighton beach 11:00pm - 1.30pm. Not much action today fishing was slow and unpleasant on the beach with the wind.
Caught my biggest whiting to date measured 48cm. Didnt put much of a fight till he was about 2m from shore.
Also caught 2 bream.
Bait used: Yabbies.
Will be heading out this saturday and sunday hopefully with a little more luck.
Regards,
John

Top catch... i usually fish the shorelines of the bay as well but with varied success, I usually fish off the Kurnell side beach and Groynes.... that Whiting is beast well done. Where abouts were you fishing (if you dont mind sharing)...
Along the beach of ramsgate. Pretty much along there off the groynes or beach.
