antman Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 gday all. im pretty recent to this whole fishing sport. iv gotten into it and been goin pretty much at least 1 time a week for about 3 months now. i have no boat and live in the inner west. i usually fish at entrance of the georges river into Botany Bay. however i have also fished a few other spots in botany bay. (with no luck). The Cooks River (no luck, and would neva eat from that dirty place but at least its close) and under the iron cove bridge. id be really keen to try some new spots and techniques. wheter it be the beach of rocks, mangroves at low tide, the harbour where ever. i live in newtown and it would be great to get some spots close by and a few techniques in how to fish them. thanks for all the great storys iv read on the site, and much more to anyone who offers any advise. cheers Antman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 to the site mate ide go down to the fishmarkets thats nice and close. Theres heaps of places near there just move around casting at structure, a good tip is to try the storm nippers around the fishmarkets as lots o people throw prawn heads in the water and there the closest SP i can that matches them, good luck.

Can you also let me know if you are going to fish at IC so i can come along for some after work entertainment. i Also have some good Landbase spot at South head. I love to fish in the harbour, but only weekdays, coz it gets too buzy on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiNH Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Can you let me know how you guys went with this meetup session? I would like to join you guys for future meetings after work. I work in the Ultimo area so not too far off. Have to get me a real soft plastics rod first, at the moment Im bumming around with fibreglass tip rod. Waiting for the Xmas sale to appear before getting some serious gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaulpang Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hey all, Sorry to cancel on everyone, got a family dinner that popped up, really sorry. Next time I won't pike out, guarranteed. And Sinh, love to meet up for afterworkfish. If ure after a sp rod give the Berkley dropshots a go in 2 -4 kg. They're round the $90 range and have had a good rap. Im using a Strudwick sic stick which was $99 and Im happy with it. People say they break easily but u have to catch a fish for that to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiramasa Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 OK lads, here is my report. Got to the wharf at 1915hrs. Water was fairly murky from all the fresh but still quite fishable. I fished from the wharf back towards the bridge. I threw 2 inch grubs for the first hour with no joy excpet for some ravenous toadies. Decided to swap the grub to a 3inch berkley bass minnow in pumpkinseed coulur on a 1/16 jighead. First cast had the minnow hit hard by what felt to a small/medium size bream, but dropped it after a few seconds. Kept getting small hits, until the jig got hit by a good sized whiting, which after a short tussle was landed and measured around 38cm. Soon after sunset the water somewhat came alive with lots of fish (tailor perhaps) chasing baitfish on the surface and the odd big bloop (maybe some more bream). Anyhow, I pulled up stumps at 2030hrs as the mozzies were getting a little ferocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antman Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 went for a quick fish sunday night around 6 30 till 730 under the bridge. was using pilchards for bait. gave them a little flik on the bottom as i pulled them in. on second cast had my first bite and managed to pull in a dusky. just under 40 cm. every other cast bait was taken. once had a really big pull. but it spat the bait. think it was a decent sized flathead again because it stayed in the same position. just needed a bigger hook and mabe couldhave pulled it in. but thats the luck of the game. so basically i didnt pull bait in once. i ended up throwing the fish back. not sure if i trust the area. does anyone eat the fish from there. antman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
