Long Reef Tailor Or Move Further

[Rexxy]

hi all,

am a longtime hobby fisher, and have only just decided to give beach fishing a go, so have just increased my fishing artillery to include a 4.3m rod, and also pciked up the necessary tackle (3/0 and 4/0 open eyed hooks for ganging), 20lb mono line, star sinkers, weighted floats, extra traces etc

and am now trying to work out a good place to fish and learn how to handle such a large rod. I am consiering Long Reef, but am not sure where exactly on the beach is decent. But then thought maybe one of the other beaches along there may be a better option, i.e. collaroy etc...

I have gone through a lot of the threads etc, just needing some advice on spots on the actual beaches....

I dont want to find out after hours of fishing i was casting out out into shallows..hehehe

oh yeah, this is my first post here too.....

Hi Rexxy,

Mate Long reef is a good place for beach fishing.

I have caught jewies there and seen heaps of others landed there as well.

Also got tailor, salmon and some big sharks.

Fish anywhere there is a gutter. Near the lagoon on Dee Why side there is a pole sticking out of the beach.

Heaps of people fish around there.

good luck
