kikila Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) if you want to catch a door mat get your self down to mainbar fish the evening on a rising tide use bait like mullet i can almost guarantee you'll hook one but why you would want has me stumped Edited January 20, 2006 by kikila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lbgking Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Umm yeah, Why? Try the Terrigal boat ramp for monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 If you really wanna get smoked big time ,go to the Kiama boat harbour where the boats are near the launching ramp with a whole dead slimie and hang on tight .6ft wide and I reckon that deep as well Good Luck landing one of these BLACK STINGAREES Cheers Swordfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Ive seen the ones at boat harbour and there huge . I was there one afternoon when a guy hooked up a mantaray with 24kg stand up tackle man that was funny he got smoked and the locals got pissed off and cut his line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Rock Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I'm really sorry gianniz, but I just gotta say it - I reckon you should leave the stingrays alone, especially the big black ones. You'll never land one - they're just too big - you'll probably end up killing it or leaving it dragging your rig around for the next couple of weeks. They're quite a beautiful creature and I don't reckon there's any good reason for us fishos to target them when there are so many other fish around at the moment. It reminds me of a story from my past . . . I grew up fishing around the town of Bawley Point down south, which has a resident population of huge black stingrays (as do most towns with a boat ramp). Most of them were partly tame because of their close interaction with humans (not that you'd want to give one a hug or anything) and the township knew many of them by sight. The local kids (myself included) had even named a couple - I think I still see 'Stumpy' every now and then when I'm down there. One day I wandered down to the local Gantry to do a spot of fishing and there was this idiot sitting on it strapped into a chair that was in turn strapped to the Gantry - with full Marlin gear - trying to catch one of these big black beauties. Even at my tender age of about 13 or so I knew that this guy was in for it if he actually caught one, and I told him so. His response of 'get out of here kid' got my goat until about 5 minutes later when I saw 3 or 4 local fishos walk over and tell him that his fishing presence there was unacceptable, and that the big stingrays were not for catching. He left under their supervision, never to be seen (by me at least) again. But look - as long as it's legal you're entitled to catch anything you want and I realise that it's totally none of my business. Just thought I might try and dissuade you . . .

harry.dz Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 He just doesn't want to say it but I'm predicting he wants to catch it to eat it. Greek dish to do with garlic. Why bother? Hazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianniz Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 speculations guys, i have caught couple of them before and they are pretty good fighters... i am not after those 300kg monsters!! hell no... that will make my worst nightmare come true where i can pull into the water by a big fish!!! i just want a decent doormat size ones 5-10kg model that will give me a decent challenge. coming back from the south coast where every second cast was a monster salmon, sydney really sucks!

Captain Pugwash Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Gianniz, I can understand your frustration. If you have a boat, watch these posts closely and you will pick up some great tips on where to fish. If not, put your hand up as a deckie and get a first hand look at what Sydney has to offer. You are welcome to come out with me one weekend, the Kings are thick at the moment and when you land one of them you'll never look at a stingray again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
