Fish there a bit myself find lipless crankbaits in chartreuse during the day is proven technique for me.

Hi all just bought a nice older quintrex fishabout 4.88m just looking for an opinion on moving the centre bench thwart seat which has a top weld and centre support.looking at bringing it forward and getting rid of the front pedestal seat arrangement.Two reasons why first I find the current helm position not ideal very cramped and also to open up the fishing room a bit.A checker plate floor would then be added.Dont want to risk the hulls integrity at all.Ive spent hours researching on line and the juries out,just looking for some up to date advice.This boat is strictly estuary and impoundment use no open ocean.

The jetty at east hills will keep the kids entertained plenty of small to mid sized bream the odd flatty and trevally plus swings nearby.I just rig the little bloke up with a light jig head and substitute the soft plastic with fresh school prawns with the head removed works every time.Havent been there at night but a good lantern will sought it out either way.I Have taken him to Kelso at night and had similar results he got 15 bream there on night up to about 25cm.Good Luck

Hi all.Recently advised by a tackle store that the pre-packed fisho bait is no longer produced as the bloke responsible retired.A great standby estuary bait in fact a successful bream pro on the gold coast recommended to me to use it above everything else in the bait freezers.Rigged on a standard jighead as you would soft plastics works a treat,great for novice and junior anglers.

Thanks really enjoyed the report and video good stuff.

Hey mate ive fished the Campbelltown event get there early before the crowds get there its a small lake and by 8 am it looks like its covered in spider webs theres that many lines in the water,people casting over the top of your line,heavy leads scaring fish and mayhem if you hook a descent one and it picks up half a dozen other peoples lines.Get there early fish the side near the recreation center that's where ive seen the better fish caught and bread is frowned on for bait they encourage corn to be used but earth worms seem to be the go for best results I reckon block cheese could be a difference maker as well.Its extremely well run though and a fun day, kids have a ball as well.Good luck.

Fish there a bit myself I find fresh prawns with the head removed and fished on a SP jighead weighted to slowly drift with the tidal flow can bring a better class of bream undone.Last trip hooked something I couldn't stop on the light gear as well.Good luck.

I agree New Signing not much weight in the goldens at all.

Yes mate the camping park still there,went there to use payphone it was pretty deserted we planned our trip during the weekdays to avoid the ski boats.

Hi raiders just got back from 3 days at Wyangala what a great place a return trip already in the planning early in the new year.We had 3 boats who spread out trying a variety of techniques bobbing live yabbies and worms,plastics,casting hardbodies and of course trolling hardbodies and spinnerbaits.We got about 4hrs of great weather the first day after that the weather turned foul for the rest of the trip,but we still fished hard for a total of 4 cod and 4 goldens all between 40-50cm.We pulled hooks on a couple of big fish also.All fish were caught trolling with purple and chartreuse hardbodies doing the damage apart from one cod caught at camp on cheese(yabbies and worms went untouched).Interestingly all the goldens disgorged shrimp on capture but our shrimp traps which were deployed the whole time returned 5 shrimp only.A Wyangala regular advised me upon arrival back in Sydney that December is always tough fishing there and we can expect better returns February to May,just wondering if any other raiders have experience at Wyangala and agree.All in all we had an awesome time in a great location and cant wait to hit it again.MERRY XMAS AND TIGHT LINES.

Absolutely was rigged for bait having no luck and switched to the gulp worms.

I've got a mate who lives local and has a couple goes there for very slim pickings.The fish are there but he reckons not worth the effort.You don't know till you give it a go though.Loved fishing there back in the day.

Hi mate I've used them in the shoal haven river on a running sinker rig and had great success while my two offsiders with fresh prawns couldn't get a bite.They switched and started catching.Im sure they would work in the surf too.Just remember the above advice about storage they dry out quick.Good luck.

Awesome work on a variety of techniques well done, heading down mid week at the end of the month myself your report gives me a lot of confidence as I haven't fished Jindy for a long time.thanks for sharing.

Mate of mine goes well on the central coast jews and swears by salmon heads as his go to bait.

As above Ribs is spot on.Was there recently live worms the go.

Hi mate the cooks is salt water so the usual estuary tactics should work ive heard the breakwalls at the entrance fish well.Ive never fished there though, it is polluted and wouldn't eat anything caught there.Good luck on the day.

Good job great to get first up success in a new spot.

The bream are really on in the Georges at the moment had a recent good land based session prawn style plastic, 1/8 jig head,2kg flouro straight through just cast down current and the tap-tap would come just about instantly better class fish would just hook themselves.

Well done great solo session, got my 8yr old out this morning for a bream sesh he got 3 to dads 2 including catch of the day hes tickled pink.Seeing your photos makes me want get back up there quick smart....

The co-op had em last week some great prawns and oysters too.

Forgot to mention plenty of squid around the jetty early morning and on dusk good luck.

Ouch heard of the numb ray, handled with care and released as was everything else except one gar kept for a livie.Thanks Scratchie.

I use a 3kg kettle bell and some chain does the job for me but I don't fish in strong current.

Hi all just spent a great week at Shoal bay.Concentrating on lures only landbased found the fishing a bit tough only landing rays and small sharks on plastics which seemed to be rife throughout the weed beds.Kids had a ball chasing the wily garfish which were everywhere, at one stage while having a swim a school of them showered everywhere around us couldn't see what was chasing them though.Also spied a school of whopper bream,luderick and some cruising bonnies throughout our time there as well as a huge bust up just past the moored boats, got a good look through the binoculars and appeared to be tuna of some sort the culprit.The bait fishos using live worms seem to do well on the whiting on a rising tide.On the jetty one evening seen a lunker whiting caught by a gent who earlier bought a couple of pre rigged handlines a packet of prawns and a fishing liscence ,first time fish for a first time fisho who I assisted preparing the fish for the table,he was very greatful for the help and looking forward to grilled whiting for dinner,ah the luck of fishing.In hindsight I probably concentrated to much on the plastics plenty of them came back chewed without hooking up , when maybe shallow diving minnows might have bought more luck over the weed beds,tried some small poppers which the garfish tailed in at times but no luck there either.Cant complain the family had an awesome time and will be back post haste to crack the code in a wonderful part of the coast.PS attatched a few pics can anyone help with the ID.
