Cheers Berg Hey Berg didnt end up goin last night mate, got out of the office too late. I too was also considering going out tonight but am a bit worried about the crouds. At Maroubra i get a whole range of species, mainly palaegics such as taylor, salmon, kingies, cobia, sharks e.t.c, depending on where in maroubra im fishing. Where have you been trying at yowie bay?

Big Berg Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Just the little wharf near the marina. The only problem with yay place is that it is small, the squid are only on one side and the light turns off around 10 or 10:30. Is this the place you go to?

How was port kembla? were fishing near the steal works? Cheers mate...didn't end up going to Port Kembla. I ended up fishing at Minamurra (land based) just further south. Not a very productive day...only managed a frigate mac and a salmon There was a few people there but they didn't do any better I wish I went to Port Kembla instead....definitely need to get a boat though. How about you? Did you fish the long weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you? Did you fish the long weekend? Yeah mate i went fishing at yowie bay, maroubra and munmorah lake. Ilove minamurra river, what side of the bridge did you fish? the golf course side or the other side? Thats an awesome place for flathead, bream and taylor. If you fish under the bridge on either side of the tide you can get silver trevally there around the concrete pylons. I bet the wheather wasnt too good, i had shocking weather so i couldnt fish much (due to the missus complaining about getting wet) Im going to head out to the harbour this weekend hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rocks were very uncomfortable coz they are not level. The weather was actually good but the seas was a bit too flat.

Oh yeah i know where you were fishing, i once went there at night time and fished the point facing the ocean, in the dark i didnt realise how much the tide had come in, manouvering them rocks with water is not fun. Did you catch anything? you may have already answered this lol. I was planning on going tonight but the weather looks rubbish so maybe not. Do you have boat experience?

Drove almost 2 hours and fished for 8 hours and I ended up catching a frigate mac and a salmon...not worth it. I have been on a few charters and hired tinnies at Terrigal but not on smaller boats....I would love to try it though. Im desperately trying to convince the missus to let me buy a boat but she wont budge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just offer to take her friends out on it and it will soften her up hahaha. What charters have you been on? i asked my girl to get me one for my birthday coming up soon and have been looking at a few within her budget. U going fishing this weekend?

Big Berg Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 The charter I went on was not good at all. They still decided to head out in stormy conditions. We were out half the day and only got to fish for approx 20 mins due to the bad weather and big swells. One of the charter crew members even said that we shouldn't have gone out that day. They also didn't have rods...all they had was down riggers (if thats what it is called). I'll get you the name of them so you don't have the same experience I had. I was hoping to go fishing on Sunday to target Kings off the rocks but the swells are forecasted to be 2.5m so I might just try one of the safer spots around the harbour...don't know how I will go with the crowd though. Mate if you ever need some company or an extra decky let me know... I be more that happy to chip in towards the cleaning, petrol, bait and beers.
