Try the Tuncurry side of the bridge ( lake side ) 1hr either side of the high tide , there is a good deep hole that the flatties hang out in , chopper tailor are there as well most times ( ocean side ) but a good cast out to the 2nd pylon is needed good luck

Nice work Krispy the "flickinlures" boat is hooked up as we speak and will be heading out in the morning we will definately try the "sink to the bottom" method with the metals , thanks for the report , hopefully a little video with some action tmoro night cheers , Mark

Thanks fellas onya also COB

great video mate , gotta get me one of those drones

Another Friday arvo plastics session on the bay turned out to be a little quiet but i was desperate to try out my new little Shimano symetre 1000 on the end of a 7'2" Steve Starling camo flick stick, it was around an hour into a hundred or so casts when this 64cm specimen jumped on my 4" Gulp pumpkinseed worm , this drop in size from my normal 2500 shimano was so much better as the light weight combo enable me to pick up every little hit and it had more than enough grunt to land this fish.Also picked up 3 nice trevally around 35cm , then tried one of my other little spots only to be shutdown by 10-15 dolphins, it was a good end to a top day again on Botany Bay

thanks again fellas ,my offsider was the fisherman on this occasion as i had to grab the GOPRO quick because i thought it was about to let go,

hey i like the 3D idea will put some thought to it lol cheers Mark

Having a little fun with the new imovie program , but she was a beauty of a squid tx fellas

Hey Raiders,

Been in the dry dock for a while , but managed to get out last week for a fish and put my fishing buddy on them yet again and got him across the line in 1st place in our local fishing club comp , unfortunately this big puppy didn't qualify but it sure did shock us both when he dragged it up on an 1/8" jig head towing our favourite 4" pumpkinseed worm , ah Normo youv'e done it again

Hey mate i use size: 1/6 or 1/8 ( i think the measurement is ounces ) mostly when i fish the bay in around 3-4 mtrs if i go any deeper ( no more than 5mtrs ) i would go up a size to 1/4 on a good strong owner hook , i rarely go deeper than the 5mtr mark when flickin the plastics as i find that area between 3-4mtrs is the best over the weed and sand , use the wind at your back and wait till the line goes slack between 10 - 15 secs .We did try a few different Gulp soft plastics but the only successful ones i find are the worms that have that wriggly tail cheers Mark

Took my co pilot out for a session on Saturday with all the good intentions of getting a Kingy got some fresh dead squid from the bait shop and headed out around 6.30am as we rounded the corner out of the Cooks River entrance we noticed around 3 separate schools of chopper tailor busting up so we had a little fun with those for 30 mins or so then made our way to Molinuex Pt and soaked the squid for an hour or so .We were soon bored by absolutely no action and went back to what we know best flickinlures.I had never really bothered fishing out in the middle with the plastics but we soon discovered a 300mtr drift in around 3-4 mtrs over weedy sea grass ground broken up by some nice sand patches that produced a mixed bag of Bream,Trevally,Flathead and a nice 36cm whiting.The pumpkinseed 4" worm did the damage yet again as we cleaned up in a session that lasted around 2hrs of constant action.We tossed back a lot of small Bream and Trevally .We took home enough for the neighbours and inlaws and a couple for ourselves,overall it was a top session with a good mate.Oh forgot to add if anyone drags up a 6000 Shimano Alivio reel off Bonna Pt loaded with mono on a short boat rod it's mine , forgot to put the little white clip over the rod holder DOH

Hey nice feed there mate and love the vid. It's great when things are quiet while targeting one species you can just change tactics and end up with a nice feed. Love the whiting.

My eldest daughter caught a thumper last month 43 cm on a prawn.

Cheers Daniel

Hey Daniel i think i replied to your post about your daughters whiting it got my best by 4 cm and i thought i had a little soapie on the end of the line so hers was huge, but my mate did most of the damage on saturday due to my filming duties that's my excuse anyway

Thanks fellas , the go pro battery died after a few hrs of trolling i was trying to capture the take but unfortunately no Bass wanted to be filmed at the time , lucky i just got my new phone Samsung s4 mini which has a great camera on it so most of this video was taken on that

The southern end of Bluey's beach , the headlands at Elizabeth beach - both ends ( be careful though ) you can get livies at the marina on the Forster side boat ramp near the volunteer coastal patrol boat mooring - good luck

The float from the shore is spot on , even a slightly inflated balloon with one of those live lollipops i just can't see a Kingy not wanting to smash one - good luck

Took the boat up to Glenbawn Dam 4hrs north of Sydney for some Bass fishing last Saturday it was sooo bloody hot , it was a long way to go for an overnight trip but we had a great time got a few nice fish.I was glad to crack my 1st Bass ever as was my mate Brett .Hard bodies were the choice and most fish were caught early morn late arvo along the submerged tree lines up the back corner Our friends in the Trailcraft did well landing over 10 fish .We probably scared a few fish away as we had to jump in the drink every hour or so just to cool off ,those beers back at base camp were just sensational

A few boats from our local fisho club are heading up to Glenbawn Dam this weekend anyone got any recent mail of where this big Bass are holding up ? because i wanna drop these 2 these puppies in front of their little noses

hopefully an action packed video to come

We hit up the harbour on sat and had limited success like you guys. Had no problems getting lives, yakkas and even slimies as well as there were heaps schooling up. Spun up a rat king on a metal lure off the colours other than that all quiet, no luck with the squid either

a couple of boats were at the white drum near the navy wharf and got the kings i mentioned on the squid , but it's like anything i suppose their either hungry or not

It was a great day Sunday we got out there a little late and come home with zip but got the boat wet and jumped in the water for a dip a old mans hat at 1030am it was so bloody humid

good little video on bait fish seems theirs a few in that patch, i think your bait is to hard what were u using? a size 10 sure catch hook with a 30mm long squid tentical nails them every time, i didnt see any burley?

was berlying between shots got a little cloudy to film but we didn't really need much they were everywhere , and your dead right the squid tenticals are No1 for sure

nice vid mate, look at all those damn sweep fighting for the bait, pesky buggers they are. found mince meat keeps them relatively quiet but yakkas still like it

isn't it funny that everytime you hook those bloody things you get them in the eye

good tips fellas , its a GO PRO 3 SILVER edition but like i said i screwed up and the setting should have been set to 1080p HD anyway next time you should be able to see their scales .There were a few boats around and not many bringing them in and as it turned out the No1 live bait squid was the choice of kingies that day ,i need to get my act together and get those lolli pops 1st

Sweet of some nice fish great work

Just a short video of the bait grounds at Balmoral on Sunday morning , didn't see any squid but plenty of yakkas which were very tempremental, it took 2 of us 40mins to land 12.It was an absolutely great day apart from a big fat zero on the kings they just didn't want any part of our lively little yakkas .We saw a few rats landed within 4mtrs of our boat but those guys were fishing freshly caught "dead" squid.Sorry about the quality but had the camera setup wrong DOH
