JaniFIN Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Is this right place for this kind topic? Stu and Donna just leave from Finland. And i get so bad travel bug (again), that i cant do my shcool works today, even i allready start. History: We went with my wife Saija in OZ year 2009, 1 month trip. I have been want come back to there 4 years, but havent been any chance. Now we have 2y old son, and dog, so only i have chance to come alone, and only for 2 weeks. Plan is come before next 3 years have gone. There is report from trip year 2009 http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=44783&hl=%2Btwo+%2Bfinn So "i have dream", next time when i come, i want shore or boat fishing one full day on botany bay area, drink some Jack Daniels Cola, eat ice Cram and some fried scallops, or any snacks. No matter shore or boat fishing, most important thing is good comppany and Ice Cream. Other thing what i want to do is fishing about 3 days in Forster Great lakes area. Use train in OZ and try hit Kricket ball. Anyway, tell your opinnion free words, What to do, when to come in OZ for 2 weeks. Posibles is january, february, March and April. That interesting me, what fishes you can catch this months? I dont know sure why, but i am maby moste interesting come april, then is some chance maby catch tuna, but weather is not so cool yet, or? I come small budget trip, so maby, two days is possible get some charter if get enough people in same boat. Fishs what i am interesting to catch: ALL , But moste exaiting is some fish tuna family, yellowfinn, bluefinn or even Bonito. Bream fishing is allso really fun. So tell me what fishes it is possible catch January, February, March or/and April? Sorry for this topic, this is more for my self, for thinkking, you be patient please, this maby "monolog" can be continue next 3 years.

JaniFIN Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Thanks Garry, i appreciate your offer. And it is true, long time no see. You come to visit here ? , we have allways some place to sleep for fishraiders, nobody visit so often. Exactly i did little "surffing in net", and find many kind fishs what can fishing that time on year (somebody blogger dude, botany fishing), january, February, March and April, i did not saw any tuna pictures, but king fishes and many other good loking fishs, what i did not identify. So its hard to ask fish questions, because there i so many different species what i have never even seen or hear, so dont know what to ask? Nobody know any web site, like fish book what told what fishes in close to Sydney different months? Some fish biological Guide? And in Forster have to fishing with lady Roberta allso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewie Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 You have to catch a kingfish in summer in sydney as they are the main target and would pull most other fish backwards! Bonito, Australian Salmon, Frigate Mackeral, Mack tuna are all common Sydney speedsters on the cards in Sydney Harbour!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hi jani, I've read all your reports and love the diverse nature of this site. If you come to oz I'll be happy to take you fishing. I live 1hr drive from Forster in the beautiful port stephens. I can't do jack Daniels but I do jim beam very very well. I can guarantee you a few pelagics that time of year, jewfish and maybe a marlin!!! And if the weather is crap, we have many pubs we can bend an elbow at!!! The offer is there my friend and will only be too happy to show you around. Whether it's, rock, beach, boat, estuary, river or ocean fishing, port stephens has it all. (Google it) Cheers scratchie!!!

Jewhunter Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 He knows Port quite well mate. He fished there on a charter for a few days in 09 with Stewy, Donna, Dan & Mr & Mrs Dalucius. I know he'll be keen to get back there. I just hope the weather is a lot nicer than last time! They had to leave my place because it looked as though they would be flooded in!! Very nice of you to extend the hand of friendship. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniFIN Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Oh!!, it is true, Forster and Port Stephen is quite close together. (i have seen 2 goalas in Port Stephen area, i have allso picture that 2th one). Thanks for offer Scratchie. Jewfish souds allso good, maby too good., From Ports Stephens to south (maby Nelson Bay?) is some small restaurant near harbour, where can eat cheap but tasty fried scallops ...yammy. Allso i know one good Flattie spot in Forster (Tuncurry side) what even Roberta dont know excactly, have to show her .. Oh cheesecake, sounds so good allready. I can confirmate what i did read finnish travel magazine, "Australians is the friendliest nation", i agree that. Soon i have too many fishing possibilitys, that its come to bee difficult choise, or 2 weeks not enough. Grant, i am sorry that flooded thing, we did not purposely, its only happend, same thing in Fidzi, there was moste powerfull cyklon in 20 years, when we went there. In Murwillumbah was great weather, before we did arrival, anyway you have world moste beautiful public toilets, and was really relaxing fishing your backyard with wine glas I think that i come sooner that what i did even "Thinkabout", my self. But will see, will see, own trip planning is always fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linc Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi Jani, Having lived overseas for many years I know what it is like to miss Australia and it's fishing, I spent many nights dreaming about which fish I will catch first when I return home. I am only relatively new to Sydney but by the time you get here my boat and I will be much more experienced and would be happy to offer you yet another option for getting out on the water around Sydney (if you have any spare time during your busy trip!)

JaniFIN Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Ok, new tips for trip plan. I get tip, that nowember not have monsoon season yet. So it is one chance come that time. But what can fishing then, and is it in Sydney allready warm then. November is it really good time be out from Finland, cold, wet and dark allday. But question is, is it good time fishing in Sydney area? Last time when i went there, Sydney was only place where did not rain alltime, anyway next time i bring my own waterproof oldtime rubber clothes. Maby rubber boots and lifejacket allso, for floods.

The Incredible Hull Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hey Jani, From November onwards, it is not monsoon season, in fact it is the opposite =) It is very warm (average 25+ degrees) and sunny. Instead of your waterproof gear, you need to bring sunscreen and a hat! November and onwards would be peak fishing season, so you're coming at a perfect time =) Dave.

Jewhunter Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Jani, is that 2 weeks or 2 months?!! Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 ha ha We look forward to seeing you again, Jani ..... we do tend to get a bit more rain late in the year & during Jan & Feb - so Nov or March/April would be fine - tho we've had really nasty winds on the east coast for the last 6 weeks - which is horrible - Even dangerous to be on the water! I've always found March/April to be more reliable weather wise. You got hit with the rain all up the coast last time you were here - let's try & avoid it this time!! It won't be too hot then, either! cheerio Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniFIN Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Jani, is that 2 weeks or 2 months?!! Cheers, Grant. 2weeks only , But it is better that nothing. And it have to be between November 2014 and April 15th 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
