Hastings River This Morning . Water quite dirty on the run out. 7 flathead landed, 3 quick release at the boat ( fell off, too lazy to use the net,) 1 bream landed, 2 bream busted me off. The new Daiwa Risky Critter SP,s Work well.

A few years ago I went looking for a light 4 to 6 kg spin stick for the beach. I bought a Wilson Live fibre 10'6" 4 to 6 kg. Matched to a 4000 stradic fk. 15 lb braid. ( breaks at over 20 lb ) Almost a one handed outfit. Super light ! Spin all day with it !! Perfection !! Backs up as a great Bait rod too !! 6 kg is plenty for Salmon and Tailor !! But put 300 meters of Braid on it. 125 or so isn't enough !! Howard.

See the colour of them when they dry out ? They were once called "Leadenel" Tuna.

no 4 1/12 oz arrived today. Not 1/20 as said previously !!

Mike, Have a look at TT snake lock Finesse. they go down to 4 ! I just bought 4, 1 and 2/0 online. 1/20 th. Howard.

Old School graphite broke if you looked at it the wrong way! Now with new technology, Especially Nanofill, they will take a lot !!!! Forget it and keep fishing. The final word !! Howard!

Silver Biddy ?

Ok I love a fresh tailor fillet for Breakfast Fried, Grilled or BBQ for breakfast with ground black pepper and salt. It has a stronger taste, But I like it ! In the past I caught a large variety of fish, I love big chunks of boneless fish, so Drummer and Grouper were Great !! Have eaten Kingfish and Snapper but cant remember the taste. Snook from south west rocks was good. Now days Jewfish fill the bill ! I really only catch Flathead, Bream and a few whiting these days, Flathead is mine and the families favourite by far. I love Whiting , Very sweet !! Bream I usually release. Thanks for not liking Flathead Dirvin21 More for me !!

You have put a smile on my face !!! Howard.

Atomic 38 caught the whiting, and a Bream. 2 and 2,1/2 inch Zman curly tail in motor oil. 1/8 oz jug head for Loghan. Coastal 360 GT shrimp in New Penny ( salt water yabby ) 1/8 jig for me + atomic Crank.

Had to go out today, Looks like the Best day of the week weather wise ? Grandson and I hit the entrance to the Maria. 18 caught, 6 kept for a feed or 2 . Whiting 40 c/m.

Photos from Yesterday !

Perfect XD. Slow down. Let it rest on the bottom. Use enough weight to let the lure slowly sink to the Bottom. I mainly use a slow lift retrieve , Or small double hops. Think , How would your SP swim in real life ? With Lures you are Hunting!! Where would the fish Be ???? Move and search! Structure, Undulating sand flats, Dips , Channels, drop offs even small ones !

Love. Female flathead often have Male suiters around them. If you find a patch of Males. There could be a female not far away !! Males are often under 50 c/m. Video is a perfect Example !!

Mullet hooked not in the mouth but under the Jaw ? I have caught 2 on sp's like that. Yes they go hard !! Howard.

Jon , Mine is broken ATM , The guide up here has a Garmin, He caught this one. I have a motor guide so I may stay with Lowrance ?

Jon, We hunt them in the rivers with the latest side and live scan. Works well ! Im happy to have strict rules ! As long as I can get a feed !

http://www.fishingworld.com.au/news/video-beach-hauling-of-depleted-mulloway-stock-continues Were allowed 1 fish per trip, with a strong Catch and Release due to them being Endangered . This needs to be looked into !!

Im going back a while, but most of the bays contained Yakka along the rocky shorelines. Grab a few large potatoes and a scaler and burley with potato scrapings !! Prawn or fish for bait small hook. Howard.

Measure it please, Is it 7' does it feel life it could be 2 to 4 KG ?? If so probably 2 to 10 Gram. Howard.

Exciting time mate. I will let others comment. Never had a boat that size. Howard.

I have been catching a few larger models lately on 3 ". and 40 m/m HB lures, The thought came to me that big fish like Jellybeans Too !! Howard.

Im starting to use weedless more and more. Mainly for mangrove roots as I fish for Flathead in the shallows a lot. There is a lot on You tube regarding weedless rigging, Zman go into it in depth. The softer the plastic the better. Not sure about hook up rates, I was wondering about that also, So far so good ! What fish are you chasing ? Howard.
