HI Guys, Was launched by about 7am picked up some livies and headed out the heads saw some bait schools feeding so we decided troll through a couple of skirts. Nothing touched them so we headed on and in about 5 mins hooked up on a couple of nice frigate mackeral whicch were kept for bait. We arrived at the fad and did a few drifts and only hooked one dolly but it was only about 40cm so it lived to see another day. We moved on towards the peak and upon arrival there was a good showing of bait fish. First baits down resulted in 1x 61cmkingy which was thrown on ice and a pigfish for me.a few drifts later and a another 62 cm king for my brother and a pigfish for me and nick. Then we noticed some xl unicorn jackets ina our shadows so we spent about an hour trying too get a hook in one but dropped it when we had chance. while we were berleying up came the dolly schools and we hooked in to another few small ones all were released. The wether was pretty good out there had a great day despite only a few fish been brought home I'll try and post pics tommorrow but i have been having trouble in the past Kane

Nick & i decided a trip to the fad was in order. So we hit Kyeemah ramp at 6am and stcoked up on livies and made the trip out after a few problems finding it we were there with about four other boats about but not much action going on. On our second drift through Nick came up trumps witha 3 - 4 kg Dollie which put up a great fight on 6 kg it took a slightly weighted half pilly. Our third drift past my bait runner went off and after a short hook up another good fish was lost. After that we headed back in to the bay and chased some garfish we ended up with 3 they were real picky but next time we are going to take some small luderick hooks and doe Nick and fish This week we are gunna try porthacking fad I will let you know how we go Kane

I am pretty sure they can get better got a good deal and they make underwater housing for them so i thought it was worth it kane

Well after a weekend off the drink. after lunch on sunday decided maybe a fish was in order so loaded up th eboat picked up one of my mates and headed out. For an hour or two got to the spot about 3:45 and started fishing. Packed up and went home at 5 15 but did alright took home 6 flathead plenty of them still around. But a lot of smaller ones in between them Kane

I have a canon ixus 700 7mp with 1gig card and an underwater housing rated to 40mtrs. An awesome camera Kane

Straight out in front about 150mtrs just burley a bit and they will find you Kane

Yeah that was my brother on extreme i am pretty sure we saw you out there . Kane

HI all, well the weekend looked like it was going to be bad weather but my brother and his mate and i decided to go anyway and put up with the farely average conditions. Day 1 We hit the ramp at 6am and were out the heads by about 6 15 and stocked up with a heap of slimies. But decided it was to rough to head to th e banks so we headed for currarong bommie the current was ripping down the coast with dark blue 25 degree water so we were hoping for a few kinds we trolled some skirts around for a while. But after a while gave up and found a nice patch of reef to fish over as i was winding in i hooked up and sooner released a kingy of about 50cm. after a while of bottom bashing all it returned was a 40cm re rock cod which went in the esky. as the conditions were pretty crap we headed back to the river and picked up a 27cm bream and a 57 cm flathead. Pretty average day but better then work Day 2 The whole plan of the weekend was to chase marlin having never cause one from our boat before. we left the ramp @ 5:30 and got about 6 slimies and headed for the banks. As we came over the top it was like a washing machine slimies out headed south along it not much luck and decided to pull in the livies and head back to the northern side and start again. we headed off and about 5 mins later nick my brothers mate see's something in the water next to the boat Marlin excitement is high and the livies are put back out but without much luck. After a while in that area we headed back to start the cycle again. This time round slimies out and my brother spots something in front of the boat he calls it for a marlin and we all whatch in anticipation as this approx 100kg black runs the length of the boat lines up the slimies and shoots off for them he had a play with the one on the right hand side then out of nowhere snatches the left. The drag was going nuts on the pen then this smart bastard snatces the right livie as well with two reels going of i prepare to set the hook (This being the first time on a marlin) i hook up farely solidly on 24kg a nice big buckle in the rod this is where the trouble starts. He drops the right hand livie leaving me and him still loaded up. BUt as i lifted the rod tip i knocked the drag causing it to spool up and the hook pulled. all in all it was one of the most memorable hook ups for me the fish showed no fear of us or the boat and it was awesome looking in the water It has now got me hooked permanently to marlin fishing plenty more trips will be to come We have some photos of the flatty rock cod and bream to come so you can put faces to the story Kane

We are heading out wide off culburra both saturday and sunday so with any luck Kane

Hi we are currently runningthe above motor on out 6m cruisecraft and at 60 bucks for a bottle of oil for it to keep its warranty it's prety expensive. we are using the XD 100 evinrude oil My question is do you guys know anywhere cheaper or where they sell it in bulk Thanks Kane

Well the weekend is upon us and against the weathers mans advice we are still heading down ( since when is he right) Gears sorted boats ready all we need now is the swell and seas to calm a bit Kane

That would look unreal in our salt water aquarium congradulations Kane

Plicked plastics around the hacking witha couple of mates between 6am and 12pm. Not one fish hit the boat which was strange but i put that down to the traffic. ended up with 4 squid and found a new spot for them for live baits. Watched a couple drop their nice new fibre glass boat on the ramp. Poor bastards It was still stuck on the concrete when we left Kane

Thanks Mate rods will be loaded and ready to go. I have heard a few other reports saying the same thing. so its gunna be a good weekend nomatter what. Kane

Hi Guys, Got a boys weekend away fishing lined up for the 4th and 5th. We will be fishing from a 6m Cruise Craft. So unless there is massive seas we can get anywhere. My question is does anyone have any recommendations for fishing down there. We will be chasing Hopefully kings, snapper and we will be definately heading wide in hope for maybe mr marlin. Locations / depths /gps marks / spots for catching livies any info will be appreciated and the favour will be returned cheers Kane

Yeah thats for sure they never give up. Had a few close calls with the prop fish was picked up whilst retrieving the plastic in a hurry for a spot change. I have pm'ed you some more details rob Kane

Been since a bout when i could walk and talk and i am 21 so about 18 i guess kane

Deffinately a Mac i have never seen them in there either i Have caught heaps of both frigate and Mac before been fishing for years didnt have camera went straight from a night out on the piss to fishing on a half clear half pick shad Kane

After little if any sleep left at 5am to throw around a fews soft plastics. Having never cause anything before on them i wasn't real confident. First fish on was an undersize squire but it just showed that my technique wsnt that bad second fish on was a 1.5kg mac Tuna. This fish gave me a run for my money on 6lb line and a 2-4 kg spin stick. best fight i have had in a while. I finished off the day with about 4 undersized flathead and a few whiting on nippers. But nothing was brought home for a feed. But it was a good day on the water Kane

Trying out the new tent at Sussex. go for a beach fish and i hear some rumours that the prawns are running but we will see Kane

You guys are killing me i am at work and i pretty much read every report there is. If only i could find a rich wife who would work while i went fishing They are some good fish congradulations Kane

Hi all we have a cruise craft 6m explorer which has a few chips out of the front which my brother kindly did while driving up the trailer. so the question is do you guys know of anywhere they will fix them. i am from around the shire area Kane

That has been what i have been using interested in finding out more about dual hooks Kane

Hi Just wondering how you guys rig you rlive squid? Any pictures would help Kane

It looks like concord in the background kane
