Hey all, Short notice, I am heading down to Curl Curl tomorrow at 1pm for some beach fishing and maybe rock fishing at the Southern end if the swell is low. Feel free to come along, I'll be fishing with my 12ft beach rod. High tide is 4pm so I'll be there until a bit after that. Pm me if interested. Latham

Update: Went this morning at 6am and only managed a small whiting and an average sized flounder, both released. Hopefully will get something decent soon.

Yeah a family friend works at the education centre and recommended it to me, i am hitting it up tomorrow at bout 5:30 on the high tide. Plan to use a Shad tomorrow and hope for a bigger flattie

Hey raiders, Decided to finally take the advice of my mates and switch to soft plastics. Bought a few of packets of gulps; Nuclear Chicken 4" Shads, Nuclear Chicken 2" Shrimps, Pumpkin Seed 2" Shrimps and Lime Tiger 4" Shads. Rocked up at the national park and parked near the Field of Mars near Buffalo park. Short walk down to the spot and rigged up. First chucked on the NC shrimps and was hoping for a flatty or whiting, after about 20 mins of fishing, we managed a flatty of roughly 30cm's, chucked him back and fished for another 30 mins before we had to head off. In that 30 minutes we just amused ourselfs catching little puffers on lures ( more fun than you would think ). Anyway here is a pic of the sun heading down just around the corner from where we were and a pic of the flattie is soon to come since my mate has it. Happy fishing

Mmmm i'd say in about a month or so we will be well into the season

Sure is, got him smack in the gob.

Hey guys, decided to try my luck with my mate at balmoral again after next to no success last week. This time i was with a mate who fishes every month or so down here so he had a tad more knowledge of the area more than i did. We set out to get to the wharf after midday and arriving on the 3pm high tide. Our plan was to catch some live yakka on a jig and chuck it out hoping for a very early season kingy or a tailor. First off we chucked in some berley made of bread crumbs, catfood(sardines) and bread. Didn't seem to make much of a difference as thought. Like last time we had little success starting off but managed to find a spot off the wharf that has a few rocks and must be a hole or something because it was just swarming with fish. Every cast got a fish, sadly it was mostly small bream and tarwine. Eventually we got a yakka so decided to chuck it on the live rig. At first it was swimming well and seemed well. After 30 mins it was starting to die and had no hits but boy did it attract more fish! Left it in close to the wharf and i swear it been wounded got more fish coming. After a while it died so we cut it up and chucked a fillet on and put it wayyyy out. As it got close to 6 we started to get bored of the little ones so pretty much packed up. When i checked the yakka fillet it was gone, taken a clean sweep so something was out there! In total we caught roughly 30-40 fish between the two of us, all were chucked back except the yakka. Good day of fun even though no real keepers! btw the local pelican was back begging for some fish.. he got one Here is a photo of a stingie we caught on some gulps at the spit last week since i got no photos today :/ sorry guys!
