  1. NICE BAG OF REDS STEVE I WAS FISHING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF SECOND ROPE OF THE FRONT LEDGE BUT WAS PLAGUED WITH TREVALLY FINISHED WITH 14 TREVS 3 BREAM & ONLY 1 REDDIE & 2 SALMON WAS FISHING THE SAME TEQNIQUE AS YOU.BUT I WOULD HAVE TRADED ALL MY FISH FOR YOUR REDDIES.
  2. It would take a brave man to eat anything out of the Parra river i would advise against it.
  3. You definately need to stay on the ball with these blue ring octopus as it,s not uncommon to catch them on your hook.I have seen about 3 caught over the years around Manly Wharf mostly amongst the ribbon weed beds.
  4. Hey Sambo it would not surprise me if you and that cracker of a bream are of the same age .Your not wrong about the thickness of that fish either that would be the fattest i have ever seen.
  5. I agree with luderick Angler on the Daichi being the best they definately increase your catch rate for sure but some of the old timers out there would never trade there old flattened shank snecks for any other hook out there.
  6. Akuna Bay Hairtail .There cant be a Hairtail Season without Hairtail These fish have certainly copped a over years gone by and its a real shame as they are great fish and pretty good on the plate too.
  7. Nice bag there it has been a while since i have hit the blackies up and your post has switched me into blackfish mode as soon as the seas settle i am off to fish "the gutters" past little bluefish Manly for some of these tasty fish i can taste those crumbed fillets already
  8. What a great report good to hear the trevally have started to show in numbers as i love targeting them on plastics great fun & that the bream are thick you cant complain about that.I bet you get the kings next time.
  9. Where i fish (North Head ) i use a westerly wind to my advantage as it gives me the opportunity to fish in relative safety without the heavy white wash which is what bream prefer.In these conditions i can also fish those in close shallow rock shelves that extend outward from the main plattform & areas were water washes up a plattform & funnels back in a specific.This allows me to keep a unwaighted bait in the strike zone with ease.Useing this method you can catch excellent bags of bream in a short period as for offshore fishing i cant comment as i fish landbase only and have caught bream,drummer.silvers,blackfish,and plate snapper in westerlys providing there is some white water & burley is used to switch fish into feeding mode.
  10. Personally i dont eat anything that comes out of the Sydney harbour that includes the lower reaches near the heads.I have done alot of research on the contamination of our harbour from slipways,stormwater drains,factories,old dumps,Navy depots and the picture paints a very disturbing picture.
  11. Definately worth restoring that rod the enjoyement and satisfaction you will get from useing a old classic rod you restored yourself beats purchasing a boring new one of the shelf with hypalon grips anytime.Just make sure you stick a centerpin on it when your finished ,black fishing is not blackfishing unless your useing a (pin) Good luck with your project.
  12. What a TANK Your a true angler for releasing the fish as well.
  13. Sorry mate mixed things up a little go to online shop and type in alvey yabby pump washer repair kit.
  14. No need to upgrade there mate you can get an alvey washer repair kit of online shop will set you back around $10 bucks just go to online shop and type in alvey yabbie pump.An alvey pump will last you two life times.Ive owned my yabbie pump for over 20 years which was given to me by an old salt and it is showing no signs of wear .
