gundi4 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi raiders, New to the forum, but have been admiring the posts from a far for a while. Love the work guys. The info that is shared is absolutely invaluable! I thought I would share yesterday's outing on Sydney harbour in my new centre console that was purchased a couple of weeks ago. I must say reading some past posts actually inspired me to finally bite the bullet and get myself into the boating life to add to my fishing addiction. Anyway, myself and a mate (both novices to say the least) went out in search of squid for bait to hopefully tempt something bigger. After many a cast around camp cove for nothing we went around the boat moorings at manly (which I believe isn't in the sanctuary zone) where I dropped one that was half way to the boat [emoji35] didn't get any takers after that. To cut a long story short we came up empty handed but it was still a great day to be out and hasn't dampened my passion in the slightest. I'll be out there as much as I can trying to earn experience which hopefully will put me onto some fish sooner or later. Anyway here's a few pics of the harbour in the morning from the boat Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fragmeister Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Welcome to the forum. Exploring the harbour is half the fun! By the time you get your bearings we'll be into the warmer months and with a little advice from fellow Raiders you'll be in amongst it. Maybe you could put a few pics of the boat in the Member's Boat section. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4myson Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Hi , my name is Sash & I'm a "Fishing Addict" ( LOL ).....Welcome aboard fellow FISHING ADDICT . Sorry to hear about the DONUTS on your first trip out with the new boat . A great place to try for squid is around the moored boats around the Spit Bridge ( north side ) there not huge but perfect live bait size . We normall use Tunks Park ramp & it's always our first stop on the way out & we always get a few ...( stick to the smaller jigs ) Edited August 24, 2015 by 4myson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Welcome to Fishraider! Although your trip out wasn't successful, what a bonus being on the water with a backdrop like that. Better luck next time. Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity what size jig? The smallest I've got is 2.5. And do you recommend a certain colour or does it change to what the weather/sky is doing?

Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You can get away with the 2.5 jigs & always keep a variety of colours but my favourite are white & pink jigs . I like using cloth jigs as I find that the scent spray stays on longer ( make sure you use scent spray ) or as another raider recommended after every couple of cast wipe a pilchard along the jig .....
