G'day Eveyone!

[bog6on]

G'day, this is my first post on this site so i hope i have posted this in the right place!

I went fishing on the weekend at camp cove, under the spit brigde an at narrabeen lake and didn't get a bite! I was using squid, pillies and prawns and had absolutely no luck.

I have also been fishing around berowra lately and the only thing i can catch is small tailor and and small whiting! i don't know what i am doing wrong. Is any body else having the same problem?

On a lighter note i am looking at planning a fising trip to lake lyell, i don't have much knowledge of fresh water fishing or the lake i self. If anyone can help me out with some info it would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

Luke.

Are you using servo bait ? It's a good idea to have fresh squid,

perhaps some you caught yourself as servo squid will often sit there

untouched unless lj's are in plague proportions AND THERE!

Also i purchase my bait from the markets, fresh school prawns ,

mullet etc. The best thing to do though is catch your bait live

Live nippers are a gun bait!

Especially now in winter, fish are few and far between so you have to

work harder to catch them, if the fish aren't on the bite after 1 hr I move.

Many people will say just stay abit longer, but it's alittle hard when

you're pressed for time. I also have a plan beforehand , if i'm not

catching in one spot i'll know where my next spot will be.

I would also burley - chicken pellets and tuna oil does the trick,

even mashing a loaf of bread till it's milky.

Also take note of what works when you are actually catching fish ,

quite often you can use the same formula and add abit to it

- remember 10 % of fishermen catch 90% of the fish.

This website has taught me alot and my fishing has improved

remarkably because of all the great help from our fellow raiders.
