HI all in two weeks heading back to one of my favourite get aways PT Stephens usually stay at soldiers point but this time Shoal bay it is. Will be land based and lures only just wondering apart from the usual bread and butter estuary species any small pelagics inhabit the area at this time of year(will avoid the rockfishing mostly as the kids will be with me).I checked the link on fishraider to the marine park and am I right in saying there are no restrictions land based.Any advise always appreciated and tight lines to all.

local councils often have collection points and days check their website.

Havent personally but a mate of mine has and has got similar results as you mentioned above minus sharks and bonnies.He uses frozen servo bait pillies on gang hooks.As always if you source quality bait the more chance of better class of fish.He also mentioned he found high tide the prime time and the northern side of the inlet was the go not sure how far up the beach though.Good luck mate lovely part of the coast.

The basin is an awesome spot particularly after dark.I always use my yak now so fish further downstream im getting a bit lazy for the steep walks out around kentlyn.Just be mindful i know a few blokes who have had vehicles broken into there.

Hey mate fish the river myself are you landbased.The river tends to throw up a lot of fish on the smaller side of 30cm better size fish tend to be downstrem towards glenfield.When the sun gets high i find small floating shallow diving hard bodies in orange/gold work well cast tight to structure they will often get hit on the surface,let sit for 10 seconds after casting if no enquiries begin a slow retrieve sort of gives you two bites at the cherry maybe the bass get interested as these lures imitate goldfish which are in the river (but shouldnt be).Good luck hope the big bass find you soon.

GOT CALLED TO WORK GRRR.Went out there this arvo just to for a quick look very coffee coloured around belgenny and the airport,mate had a go this morning for no luck.Good luck Paul.

Cheers Hawkesbass could be worth a few extra km's and try Douglas park.

Finally get a chance to take yak out tomorrow.Just looking for a heads up of the colour and flow of the nepean after last weeks monsoons around Camden.Cheers guys.

Hi just wondering if anyone has given this line a crack.I do most of my luring with straight through quality mono or flouro and interested to here of any feedback on this product.

Try a bucket of soapy water tipped on the garden any worms will rise to the surface.I pump my washing machine out on the lawn in summer they always come up.

I back that up Mf50 same colour works well for me got a few Bass as well,its actually the first lure I tie on estuary fishing.

No wonder my cicada lures are doing no good at the moment.Thanks for sharing the fishing looks good in the valley.

Well done thats a ripper by lake illa standards nice markings too.

Hi rabbitohs boat ramp at belgennys has a locked council boom gate,locked every time i go easy to launch a yak there though.Ive only seen one tinny launched at Camden in recent years a little ten footer on trolley wheels launched at macquarie grove reserve another good yak launch spot.

Awesome !!!

Worm place on junction rd leumeah

Im gonna hang up a PPPPPP sign over my rod rack at home.It will never happen again.!!!!!

Keep trying mate they are there,the bridges in the area well worth a crack.Good luck.

Had the arvo to myself so i thought it was time to have my first crack at the bass this season.Not enough time to get out the yak so bush bashing it was and of i went to a new location id been sussing on google maps.Knew when i got to the river id have to cross and cover some ground to reach my spot.On arrival I couldnt wait to get casting it looked great ,selected a lure,attatched reel to the reel seat then when I went to put my rod together realised I had the wrong top half.OUCH.I reckon i stood there dumbfounded for about 5 minutes before i thought better get something out of it and sussed out some more fishy areas on foot before i went home sheepishly without firing a blow in anger.

Plenty of monster carp around Camden if that's your thing.

Your week definitely better than mine working 12 straight days.Thanks for sharing some good info there.Best of luck for the rest of your week.

Thanks heaps guys golden advice will be having a crack in next two weeks will provide feedback.

Thanks jimmy72 checking google maps now as never fished the Dilly before.

Hi all used to fish the above and pull a few trout but havent been there for 6 years just wondering if there is anyone with some mail on wether its still worth fishing or have the carp taken over,need a trout fishing fix in a hurry.

Well done mate fished there and up to the moons all day Wednesday for 2 flattys slow going but a cracking day.
