Hello gang, Traveling to Lake Macquarie this weekend and keen to find some land based spots for the usual suspects and we are staying in Mannering Park. Much appreciated fisho gang. Dingo

Happy new year first and foremost my fellow Raiders, I live in the Sydney Eastern Suburbs of and so tend to fish the beaches after work for the usual suspects (bream, trevally, whitting, flatties etc) but not having any luck at the moment and certainly a lot less luck than this time last year (when I was a complete novice) Still trying as before to follow the tides and to read the beach etc Just wondered if any of you beach fisho's are having a better time of it than I am? Cheers, Dingo

Hello Raiders, I bought a 6144 rod a few months ago and a larger carbon egg beater for it which had 20lb mono put on it (no idea of the brand). I only use this rod for fishing off the rocks and off cliffs really (balckfish, drummer etc) Need some new mono for it. I know this is quite a personal choice but what brands do you guys prefer and if you shop online, which sites do you use? Cheers, D

All good Craig, I will send you a private message with my contacts. Cheers, David

Hello gang, I live in Coogee and regularly fish coogee and Maroubra with varying degrees of success. I have struck out my last four outings with barely a nibble in places where I was regularly catching at the beginning of the year. Anyways, fairly new to australia and always keen to hook up with raiders who fiah the eastern beaches, gets a bit dull sometimes fishing solo. Anyway, if youre up for it, PM me your email or numbers. Cheers, D

G'day fishin' folk, Had another 2 trips on the beach with a couple of little nibbles being the highlight. Anyone else having any luck on any of the Northern or Eastern beaches as yet?? Cheers, Dingo

Royce my man, Hope you're well. Just let me know when you boys are going out next then, Cheers, d

I've only been trying Maroubra and Coogee really, how about you?

Hiya agin Bennoz, Is there any rhyme or reason for this or do you think or is it just one of those things? Cheers, D

spent 2.5 hours again last night on Coogee on the run to high tide and didnt get so much as a nibble . . . . . . . . . Dingo

Hello Raiders, Just wondered if anyone is having much luck at the mo off any of the Eastern subs beaches? I havent had much luck at all over the last few months (roll on warmer waters I guess) Cheers, Dingo

hehe, yes, I should have learned that lesson from the Catfish sting on the Hawksbury at Easter!

Thanks, I dont care about loosing hooks or anything else mate, As youll see from earlier posts I am pretty new to fishing and I didnt realise this was the case.

Anyone else comment on this please? I honestly only killed the fish because I thought it was the right thing to do and didnt want the fish to suffer???? Thanks, Dingo

the Rock Cale seemed to have a pretty small mouth, the hook was lodged pretty deeply in its troat and while I couldnt get the hook out I think leaving it in would have obstructed its ability to eat. I felt bad killing it but I thought it unfair to throw the fish back to let it starve to death.
