  1. Are u sure it was 5kg mate ? I doubt it I’ve got kings in the 90cm mark and there pushing 5kg at times maybe ur scales need to checked lol
  2. Just fished the Hawkesbury Thursday night for Jews . No luck only managed a couple of bream and to my surprise 2 hairtail on squid baits. I was shocked ... I thought these chromies were only around in the cooler months , just goes to show u never know what the Hawkesbury can throw at ya .. Happy fishing
  3. Hi guys just curious to see which weather site fellow raiders use before heading out . I usually use sea breeze but at times can be wrong . I've hears BOM weather is good any thoughts ? After all safety out there is paramount cheers
  4. Hey raiders I heard sum bad news earlier this Arvo regarding the blue fin off Sydney . Some guy apparently landed a 130 barrel of heatens the fish was sold to Japan for for $100 a kilo . But here is where the sad story starts apparently I super trawler got a whiff of these capture and went out wide and landed tonnes and tonnes of bluefin east of heatens and they caught that many that they could only sell the fish for $8 a kilo . Can anyone confirm this or has have u guys heard anything regarding this report . Hope these bastards haven't wiped our bluefin population out
  5. To trung and all the other Anti bait fisherman out there . Here is one for the guys who prefer baits over lures ! I'm not saying lures don't work , they do , but I like to think of them as another option perhaps. ... U guys mentioned stinky servo prawns . Well I don't know anyone who uses them but I use prawns bought from a supermarket FROZEN mind u and my PB breams are 46cm 2.3 kg, , 44 and 43 cm , not bad for a so called sticky frozen prawn hey!!!! Also caught several Jewies on these babies in the bay biggest reaching 6kg. Kingies, flathead and everything else have succumb to these so called smelly prawns lol . Also fish the stones in winter for big pigs and blackfish and caught drummer to 5kg on them . Like to see ur lures around the washes boys .... Now to the bigger stuff those Pelagics! Kingies first up and u should know trung posting several pics of ur kings on here downrigging with SQUID! What's that ? Yes a BAIT ! Lol lets see ur lures land a big hoody king unless u jig with the knife jigs .. Or live yakkas again another bait !!! What about Out wide chasin big fin and marlin! It's almost fin time so yes let's split a block of pillies ?? and several of them to cube for yellowfin and albies , dragging lures around , no way !! Save fuel and time and cube with stinky pillies lol and lots of them! Marlin often get asked the best lure for marlin .... Simple a bridled slimy ! No need to buy lures when the. Bait is out there to catch and it's free!! And lastly fishing deep water for blue eye and gemmies , what does everyone use .... U guessed BAIT ! No plastics, hard bodies or blades but bait! So guys don't knock the bait cause at the end of the day in sum sort of form everyone still uses it .... Cheers
  6. Hi raiders looking to add an auxiliary on my boat I own a savage lancer 565 aluminium hull , just seeing if its worth getting a back up just in case my yammie 4 stroke gives me grief on the deep blue . What a 9.9 get me moving? Was looking at at a 15 or 25hp but they are a bit pricey in the 4 stroke range . Don't want to bother with 2 bangers as carrying pre mixed fuel or spare tank is a pain. Also how often will get is used that's the other question ? Just want to get ur opinion on what u fellow raiders think . I think the 9.9 would move the boat and atleast I would be in control rather then being at the mercy of the sea any thoughts would be good cheers guys
  7. Sorry to hear about that paddy. To many heroes in the bay I'm sick of the idiots there especially those pesky jet skis... I wish maritime would limit them to the George's river only . The other issue is the chaos at the 2 big boat ramps in the bay . Kyeemagh and foreshore on weekends. People have no respect and common sense, sumtimes watching people reverse trailers and backing in is like watching a circus . I've always thought and u guys mind agree that when u get a boat licence it should be compulsory to do time on the water. Especially reversing a trailer unhooking and loading a boat onto a trailer simple things yes but sum people have no Idea. This is what causes people to get peed off and frustrated . I wish the maritime would see this an act upon it !!
  8. Hi bede just replying back in regards to the big splash. I heard the same thing last week when I was fishing the George's and it happened around 2am massive splash sounded like a big beakie crashing down after trying to spit the hooks out . But sounded louder cause it was dead quiet and calm. Was fishing around como to , bull shark perhaps? Or the lochness monster hehehe cheers boys
  9. Hi raiders, keen to catch sum poddies in the George's river east of como bridge. Can anyone help me out where a good place is to find the little critters cheers guys
  10. Did they come with a rigging kit? Usually consists of line, tag lines, snubbers, release clips ? U can buy a complete set black Pete make em
  11. Hey nick try and get urself a copy of the video "going for gold " its a old film with starlo in it filmed in bermi. Shows u how to cube for fin. And there is a monster 90kg yft caught in the film. It's a great watch . Pm me if u can't get a hold of it
  12. Hey Pete , what waterway were u fishing ? And bait type if u don't mind me asking ?
  13. Great report Dan. good fish! As far as cleaning up the bay is concerned well if people didn't dump there rubbish in the water then we would have a garbage problem in the bay. Heavy rain does bring fresh water in the bay which makes it murky but mate its people in general who is pulluting the system . Maybe the government should impose heavy fines for littering and people should take care of the environment more cheers
  14. G'day raiders heading out wide this weekend, how are the dollies tracking ? Anyone had any luck in the last week or two with em?
  15. Sick of there clowns on our waterways! Be it land based on boat based. The police and maritime need to get tuff with these idiots and stop them doing what the hell they want. Especially when it comes to botany with the jet skis. As for kissing point wharf it is a great spot for the land based fisho, but is catching a fish worth gettin stabbed by some punks? Or do u have to take baseball bats fishing as well ....
  16. Fishing for Jewies and kingies mainly , near a rocky outcrop. Also should the shock leader be heavier then the main leader?
  17. Hi raIders , I'm fishing with 20-25lb braid just curious to know what shock leader u raiiders would use ? Cheers
  18. Try using anodes that will help to
  19. G'day mate , great post. I have a Scotty dr and never had any dramas with my depth counter. If there still new then u should have warranty on them. Also when u hooked up that Bonnie did u wind the bomb back up ? Or did u Leave it in the water ?
  20. Fished the bay Saturday night for Jews with no success , put it down to the rain we had and too much fresh water in the system. Anyone else have any luck?
  21. Hi raiders, any one know where I can catch yakkas in the George's river ?
  22. Hey raiders, I own 565 savage lancer hard top with clears , have dramas when at anchor. The back end of the boat sways left to right . Atleast 45 degrees each way sumtimes more. I'm running 6 meters of chain and 10mm rope with either a plough or sand anchor , either one it still sways. Tried 2 anchors one from the bow and the other at the stern for the same result ...... I tried lifting motor up and it seemed worse , also with engine in gear so prop wouldn't turn for same result .. I've been told that it could be that there is not enough weight in the back of the vessel hence the swaying. Others say to use a sea anchor. I'm running short of ideas, anyone experienced this before ??? Any ideas would be much appriciated cheers guys
  23. HERE IS THE PIC OF OUR CATCH, EXCLUDING THE THE THROW BACKS. YEAH THE BIG BREAM DIDNT LET UP AND FOUGHT HARD ALL THE WAY.
