hulafish Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Dont know the area myself but if it has baitfish or holds squid then your headed in the right direction . If it drops away into deeper water then you have half a chance . Kings from the rocks is like x10 on difficulty from a boat Cheers , hulafish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yep20t Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 well where thinking we should be able to drag up some yakkas or squid from there hopefully... we have a live bait tank and looks to drop of just after rocks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulafish Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'd say give it a go even though I have no idea of the area your fishing . But if it holds bait then its half a chance . Just dont forget a few chrome lures and the bream and pig gear ! Cheers , hulafish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocofallon Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 well where thinking we should be able to drag up some yakkas or squid from there hopefully... we have a live bait tank and looks to drop of just after rocks... we used to get them under Bondi Golf coarse it's called the Bondi murk. So maybe worth a try but you have to climb down and can be effected by swell etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netic Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 we used to get them under Bondi Golf coarse it's called the Bondi murk. So maybe worth a try but you have to climb down and can be effected by swell etc Mate that location is definately not a good spot for a begginner....As always with rockfishing Safety should be number 1......only go to new ledges with people who know them well....

brickman Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 are netic the sweet smell off the murk,not the advice netic has given you is golden and could save your life being the last person to be helly lifed out off there after a fall[broken rope] and not be charged for the ride i also had a mate fall at rosser gully[chain ladder broke] and had to carry him out no fish is worth your life.we took the risk and payed the price,very lucky wear still fishing if you must fish the rocks here are my rules 1;never fish alone 2;watch the swell for 20 mins before you start[we never went if it was over 1.5 meter swell] 3;when you hook up your mate watches the swell for you it's that 20 seconds you take your eyes off the swell that it will get you hope you hook up to a king, off the rocks what a rush. regards brickman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yep20t Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 where do i find this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickman Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 hey yep,a boby cork or a balloon with be the go.hook through the back and use the back wash to get the livey off the rocks you would idealy like your bait about 2 meters off the bottom catch as many fish as possible[i mean do'nt just sit on the livey rod] the more bait fish you catch will atract bigger fish you can let the bait go at the end off the session if you hook a tailor[will hit surface lures and my fav,gar with 4 gang hooks]they will jump try to keep the fish in the water till your mate hooks one that way you may keep the fish there and on the chew tailor never travel alone.they make great jew bait and king bait if there not to big hope this helps gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
