trigunner54 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hey guys. I've been wondering where people get all their green weed from. I've read that you find it in creeks or drains but couldnt find any after searching in the georges river region. Can anyone be kind enough to pm me a place that has some (wont use alot, only have time for max once a week). Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Try wharf pylons facing the sunshine. Otherwise ocean rocks. Ocean rocks have huge amounts of the stuff. Just go for an expedition one day and grab a bunch of cabbage and other weed types if you can find them. In my experience a simple zip-lock and refrigeration should keep it good and usable for a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigunner54 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Ok, thankyou. But does it only last a week or can u keep it longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 There are some ways that people keep it - have a look at the thread on blackie fishing. I normally just keep mine for a week and get new stuff if I need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMG Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 if your rock fishing for blackfish get it from the rocks where your fishing,i use cabbage type not weed. I would only use fresh off the rocks as you need it,only use what you need to bait up your hook. 1 large leaf hooked up correctly will be irresistible to a blackfish off the rocks in the correct conditions.

trigunner54 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Ok thanks, I'll use cabbage next time i fish at bare island or some place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Don't get sucked in to using just cabbage off the stones. They will go the weed on some ocean ledges Bare Island is a classic example. If cabbage is not taking fish try weed if it's growing on the ledge. Fish with what's getting washed in to the school of fish and what they are tuned in on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luderick -angler Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 You must love going to Dawn Fraser lord! How's your cardio level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lord Loser Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 You must love going to Dawn Fraser lord! How's your cardio level? Its one of the better spots I have fished and love the cardio work out, carrying the sand down is bit of a work out so I only like to carry one bucket of burley in, I wouldn't recommend trying to carry two buckets of burley in, only a fool would attempt that!!! Its fishing, not a Strongman Comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMG Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 They will also take that brown weed you see too. Bare island thats one of my spots when everywhere is rough. but i like cabbage and yes Dark Vader is right you should try different options. im a bit lazy.

DMG Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) hmm I was down that area today not Bear island but close by. only caught 3 out going tide too,then the tide came in and white washed my area not to mention the wind and thunder storm had me ducking for cover under a cliff ledge,dont like lightning and I got wet from the tide. I wasnt using my normal set up and the line twist was frustrating but not as frustrating as re rigging a different float. I got sunburned too lol.

DMG Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) I was at The Gutter. I know i fish some of the same rocks as some people here , just think i could have been standing right next to you today. I been fishing those spots since Prince Henry Hospital was there. I bet ive seen some of you before,that regularly fish those spots. I grew up in Bondi back in the 70s then lived in Maroubra and Matraville for a long time where the old Matraville drive in used to be.
