  1. That's what happens when you don't take me! Joe B
  2. Tell them how your mate has been out fishing you for the last 8 years! Joe B
  3. Hi all, A little late however a mate and I fished the Hawkesbury on Saturday and once again managed a few fish taking the record to approx 12 Hawkesbury outings in a row where fish have been caught. Surprisingly we caught 2 bream and flathead at night while trying to catch bait just around the corner from Brooklyn ramp. As the sun was coming up we decided to fish flint and steel on the run out tide, we did reasonably well there considering the first 4 baits that were dropped magically transformed into the following: - eel - stingray - eel - port Jackson It was at this point we questioned whether we made the right decision "should we have stayed in bed". Being ones not to dwell the call was made " one more pest and we are packing it up " then bang, bang, bang, bang the bream were on. We threw back a few keepers as we generally only keep enough for a feed for 2 families. As the tide began to run harder the dreaded Hawkesbury half spin began. So after and hour of untangling lines and re rigging snags we decided to change spots. We now found ourself facing directly at Juno point first bait down BANG a nice 40cm break comes up the next hour or so was pretty hektik fishing 4lb we got dusted on a few big bream and brought up a few more reasonable bream. Then once again the Hawkesbury river half spin found us and we decided to call it a day. All in all we battled the wind, the spin and the 1m swell at Juno point but still managed a few fish. And most importantly the streak is still alive! Also for any fishing the river over the next week personally I would be staying down river around Juno & Flint. [emoji16] Joe B
  4. Scratchie, They aren't twins, one is slightly uglier than the other. And the only time that boat catches a fish offshore is when i am not on it!!!!!!!!! Joe B
  5. Mate pier 2 on hickson rd usually holds a few but you will have to brave the crowd. The lighter you fish the more hook ups you will get. Joe B
  6. Will Another method to try would be to catch some live bait then choose your desired location ( old mans hat) anchor up and start burleying. What I find sometimes works for me is that instead of cubing for them which is what you described you could also mix in bread crumbs, left over bait and some tuna oil. Once this hits the water it's a lot finer and covers a lot more area which can in turn bring the bait to your boat which will in turn attract the kingfish. This is generally when the Kingy will fancy your struggling baitfish on a hook and worse case of its not interested as bigpigs described above you can throw down a lightly or unweighted bait.

  7. Bigpigs is one of those blokes that can say "Ohhh I bet there's a drummer in about 3m off those rocks" and then catch a drummer 3m off those rocks. Joe B
  8. Just a standard ball sinker swivel leader hook, Smallest sinker that gets the bait down and 4-6lb leader generally. Mate at least you have got fish from the vines previously. I tried about 20 times then gave up. Usually anchor up around at the mid point between the point and the land. The closer to the point you the more snags. Joe B
  9. Shakey, Mate anywhere with a few snags on the bottom I find around bar point to be better in the early morning or low light periods I would concentrate in the deeper areas while the sun is high. Most important would be to fish the tides I know it's hard but if you can pick your days try and find the small tide differences i.e 1.3 - 0.7 where there is minimal change it will allow you more time to fish. Joe B
  10. Shimano symetre is a pretty good value for money option. Reliable and won't let you down have had mine for almost 5 years and it still doesn't miss beat. Joe B
  11. A few days late but none the less. Hit the Hawkesbury river up around bar point in the morning followed by a couple hours at Flint and Steel. Totalled - 7 Bream & 1 Flathead Bait - Hawkesbury prawns & Fresh Tailor Joe B
  12. Have a green one that looks ridiculous in the water, however i have since given up using it for squid and soley use it for attracting live bait in the dark.
  13. its because you strike like a fairy. as discussed that night on the boat STRIKE EM HARD
