Fished the Hawkesbury today from wisemans to spencer in search of a crab and hopefully a Jew in between lifts , very disappointing no crabs at all ,and only soaps on the rod biggest going a measly 38 cm . very quite indeed ,has anyone had any luck elsewhere in the river.

Well done mate ,had a similar surprise some 20 years ago on the Hawkesbury river bass fishing , I was hooked into a bass around a pound on a surface lure when a all mighty smash broke the water, after around a 15 min fight a Jew of about 20 lb come to the boat, it took one look at my ugly mug and dove to the depths making short work of 8 lb leader never to be seen again . a great experience I will never forget, has anyone else ever had a similar experience while fishing the brackish waters of our rivers

I am glad you're enjoying your fishing ,can I suggest you check the rules and regs on catching and releasing REDFIN especially in your doing it on video, tight lines

Anyone know where to buy Hawkesbury prawns at the right price

Was told this morning that Windsor bait shop had closed, can anyone shed some light . used to buy my Hawkesbury prawn from there on the way through to wisemans ferry to have a fish. where can I get Hawkesburys form buy the kilo without having to remortgage the house ?..

Well done mate i am taking the kids out Saturday to try for some crabs I will give the chicken a go as well. what area are the crabs hanging about .if you don't mind giving me a heads up many thanks

skull dragging yes ,i was not there for the fun of it ,had clear instructions from dear old dad . go and get me some kingfish cutlets for the family xmas lunch . still getting a ear bashing, WHERE THE *&^%$# FISH ! and the old back in my day son,,,, and so on and so on anyway they enjoy chicken fillets on the BBQ and prawns

for the PM guys a good work out, fishing two 37kg sticks with 80lb braid and 130lb leader ,or what i refer to as THE COME HERE RODS the left shoulder this morning still has the pins and needles feeling 🙂 molineaux point is where they are holding, around the green markers. only cast out 30 feel with a small weight to sink the squid slowly double 7.0 circles ,they will hook themselves .once their on ,use two rods only land a fish when the other is hooked up .this method seem to keep them firing . hope the young fellow has fun

Hit the channel markers at botany this morning at first light , 5 lb of squid and big expectations, well 4 hours of rats 55 to 63 cm , 71 fish boated . The fun wore off after the first dozen,but keeped tell myself there has got to be a couple of good ones in between them , Off the water by 9.30 empty bait box and empty fish bin ,on a positive note ,it would be a great time to get the young ones out there or the novice fisher person they would have a ball and be hooked for life . off to ice the shoulder,only rats but they took their toll on the rod arm lol

EP mate well done
