  1. You cannot just buy across counter. You need to order and then collect a couple of days later. They are made to order by their compound chemist. The few times we have used them over the years this has been the case. Pete
  2. Where do we start? Wagonga Inlet has plenty of flathead, bream, whiting as well as tailor and jewies. You can pump nippers on the sandbars around town, they are plentiful. There are 6 boat ramps servicing Wagonga so no worries there. Beach fishing is ok too. To the north at Dalmeny there is Mummaga which holds good flathead. To the south you can fish Corunna Lake down near Mystery Bay. This is the local ski boat place but holds good fish and has a good ramp and BBQ families. A few things to do. Fish, play Narooma golf course, the Narooma Icecreamery has great homemade gelato. Best fish and chips etc are at Dalmeny. Also Oysters are a must as they are grown locally in Wagonga. Look up the Ocean Hut Compleat Angler in Narooma for all local fishing info, they are online and on Facebook. Good luck, you will definitely return. We did for 21 years for our family holidays from Sydney and still go down for a week in February as a couple. Pete.
  3. The oyster leases are in Woolooware Bay. Up the back on the southern side and eastern side. Very shallow and you can get there without too many issues but be careful as there are also some disused racks along the northern edge which are not clear and can be a navigation risk. Bream and flathead as well as whiting available. Blue Swimmers also at times but no traps permitted, only line fishing for crabs permitted I believe. Pete
  4. I agree with Sydneyfisher 12. I have a few of the exact combo's the Catana rod with a Sienna reel, either 2500 or 1000. Either works well and are fantastic. You should get this combo for around $80. Use 6lb braid and 10lb flouro flathead, and 4lb flouro for bream. Job done.
  5. Not bad, two Raiders taking Catch of the Week in successive weeks. I was in last Sundays, with a Queenfish I caught up the Kimberleys.

    Narooma

    Plenty of beach worms there for your use. The southern inlet is a restricted zone. You can fish Carunna Lake a few km down south, good for flathead and other species on lure. Or bait. Dalmeny to the north is also good for beach fishing but you need to walk along to get to good water. Very light gear and you will get a nice feed in Narooma itself of flathead, bream and whiting. Not fishing, you have fantastic Oysters in the area. Make sure you visit Tilba, Cabargo, Bermagui etc. the South Coast I'd fantastic. We have visited with the family for over 20 years and when your there you'll know why. Also excellent gelato bar. In. Narooma and a few good food outlets. Pete
  7. Make sure you slide a knife blade into the pin slots of the trailer plug to widen them a little. The sides must engage well with the female fitting on the car when plugged in. I had similar issue to yours and this was the root cause of the lights not functioning. Pete
  8. Ah, Wagonga inlet has some great action. I've only caught one Jew and that was in Wagonga while bream fishing. Caught on a nipper and 6lb line on a fly rod I was using. Released ok but as you say took a while after the extended fight. We'll done and thanks for sharing. Pete
  9. Ramp is excellent. Steeper than. Greys Point and no beach. A pontoon/wharf is there and plenty of street parking for trailers and cars at 45 degrees. Pete
  10. My better half had similar experience at Narooma 23 years ago. Caught a 30cm Reddie and it was smashed by a 4.7 kg flatty. Landed both with the flatty returned. The rediie was scaled and dead and the flatty spat it out in the net. Not even hooked!! Pete
  11. Your on the money. Bermagui is great. Narooma is the bomb. Lots of offshore options and plenty of beaches or lakes/rivers to explore all within an hour of each. Not as crowded as the North coast and the water is way cleaner. You will not be disappointed and I guarantee you will return within 12 months. Pete
  12. Jackets are everywhere. Week before last got 15 keeper flathead drifting off Bate Bay. Last week (Monday) 1 Flathead and lots of lost rigs to jackets. Even when I moved after first jackets, about 400 meters, as soon as I stopped the jackets came up behind the boat at the surface chasing anything in the water. Pete
  13. My wife and her brother suffer cronic sea-sickness. In a boat inside Port Hacking and they feel unwell. We went for 2 days ocean diving a year ago at Ningaloo reef (outside the reef) diving with Whale Sharks and she used the ET (Andrew Ettingshausen) sea sick capsules. They worked a treat. Her brother just sailed to/from Melbourne to Sydney and no worries either. They are on his Escape website and they are produced by a compound chemist in Caringbah in Sydney. You can order over the phone. No drowsiness or thirst as all the others cause. I have tried all the suggested tablets and aids and this is the only one that worked 100%. Pete
  14. Hi Raiders, Thinking of some trout fishing possibly at Oberon Dam. In the past there was lots of weed near shore and difficult to fish. Anyone been there lately and any advice on fishing locations? In a report on the weekend there was also mention of redfin there now. thx Pete
  15. Hoping to fish tomorrow.... need some flatty fillets.
