Hey guys, Just wanted to know if anyone has had any luck fishing Paddys River just off the hume highway? Went there on the weekend with a mate of mine he owns some land there it looked dirty and muddy due to the rain. We set up yabbie traps and used rods with live worms, bread and a collection of baits. Never caught a yabbie or got a bite on both rods. Should i wait for the water to clear up or is are there no fish there? Also I wass told yabbie traps were banned in NSW waters but was told that a trap is ok to use on private land. not sure if thats true. Thanks guys.

Cant wait for this weekend. Fishing in the lake got a 3 day weekend friday-sunday (not trying to rub it in) anyways was looking for some info to some good places to pump bait from what fish you guys have got and on what bait was looking at slam baits on youtube and would love to try it out for myself and got some gulp too anyone know where i can get some slam from in wollongong/windang? Might even try my luck in wollongong/windang beach Thanks guys Happy fishing

Silly question here but i will ask it, Where can i get slam baits from? i have seen gulp and other berkley SP's but yet to see slam in a shop. Thanks Guys

Hey Raiders, Im off fishing somewhere in the georges river this weekend and wanted to know any good places for fishing. Also any places for getting live bait from?(baitpump) A quiet place would be best as i have a friend who is new to fishing and cant cast well and i dont want to piss off the other fishermen. Thanks guys

I am the same mate, been fishing twice in the last 2 weeks. only bites i got were from sand flys. getting sick of beach fishing. mate of mine goes to botnay bay alot in a boat and always comes home with a good size fish or 2. Trying to get me onto SP's as he has alot of luck. Also look into the area your fishing (beach) bait has alot to do with it some guy got me onto squirt worms in the picnic point area and i was getting bites withing 10 minutes of casting but had to leave due to work. Dont get me wrong im far from being a pro. But the advice i have been told this week is to 1. watch the locals, and ask the ones who are catching fish what they use. 2. the local bait store will always help. 3 check the shore and see whats there mud/sand/weeds and you can get an idea of what they are feeding off 4. take at least 2 rods when boat fishing, 1 for light and the other for med/heavy same goes for tackle. 5. fish finder if you can 6. last but not least a life jacket All the best, hope you catch something big, if so post a pic and good luck Its my first time out in a boat in over 10 years this friday so i will let you know how it goes
