Untill recently i have discovered that there are muddies in the hawkesbury. i only thought there were blue swimmers. Can someone lead me in the direction as to where abouts? the only place i can think of is further upstream near wisemans and spencer. would i be correct with this theory? Can someone also tell me traps per person. i know its 1 trap per person. but say if three people were on the boat would that mean you can set 3 traps, or is it just 1 trap per boat? thank you

Well done on the fish of a lifetime mate. Still trying to get my first decent Jew. Just a quick question. Where abouts do you get the mud crabs in the hawkesbury? My old man wants a feed of crabs but I thought there were only blue swimmers. And is it one trap per boat or one trap per person on the boat for the muddies?

wouldnt mind giving this a go! first time tryin for trout can someone lead me in the right direction ! what bait or lures to use and where is the weir?

Going for a fish tomorrow night How are the beaches going at the moment And what species are firing

Ahaha thanks for the heads up.

Hey raiders I have just discovered my dads old beach outfit. Alvey reel and rod. I have spooled the alvey with 20lb mono I need help with the rod though It's a silstar power tip pt-1202BWA 7144 Is this rod any good? I was looking at a Wilson fibreglass rod but not sure if I should just keep this one. Pretty ancient but a bit of cleaning and I'm sure she is a beauty Thanks raiders

Are Carp day time feeders or can you target them during the night as well?

the photo didnt come up in the post for some reason

it started off with a phone call to my mate seeing if he wanted to go landbased this morning to see if we could get into some whiting. plans changed and he decided to take the boat out. so the misses and i and guy (aka kelza) hit drummoyne area today. he picked us about about 5:30 plans were to be on water by first light and we werent to far from it armed with nippers and worms, (nippers being the best bait by far first stop was an area not to far from the boat ramp. i dont want to say whereabouts as im not sure if he does mind if i give away some spots. but if you pm me i should be able to give you a few spots where we got lucky today. so spot 1. kelza chucked in the first bait and within 30 second he was on. pulled up and was a nice chopper tailor. went 33cm and back in the drink all agreeing that it will bring us good karma for the rest of the day and it did! with the misses out fishing me last two fishing outings i had to beat her today within the next hour misses caught a squire, kelza had pulled up a bream, whiting, and squire all being undersize so all of these went back in. Decided to move and noticed that salmon were busting up not to far from us. there were already about 4 other boats there. nothin that we threw or the other boats threw at them had hooked up. must of been feeding on somethin small. stayed there for a bit with my misses pulling up a starfish which kept her interested. moved to spot number 2 for about 2 or 3 hours, all undersize fish but just about when we were goin to move i hook up to a nice flatty, goin 39cm we then went back to the ramp as we decided to go get more nippers. we then returned to spot 1 and again within minutes kelza is hooked up, putting up a nice fight and up came a FAT trevally going 46 or 47cm, ive never seen one or seen someone fight them, with light gear they look like awesome fun. i think i got more excited than him. as well as my misses jumping up from her sleep to see what it was. stayed there for an hour or so for more squire. then moved to spot 3. we decided to drift for the rest of the day and pulled up more whiting and squire. then i hook onto another nice flatty measuring 42cm by then it was about 3:30 and we were red as a lobster. best day to be on the water. overall 15+ fish were caught which kept us entertained. 4 keepers. but just keeping the trevally and two flatties. just like to say thanks so much kelza for an awesome day. myself and my misses enjoyed every minute

very nice bag ! the first one is huge! Well done guys

PM sent

Thanks stewy. This information will help me out alot much appreciated

hey raiders, tried twice for black fish in estuarys and both without luck ! im new to this so just want to ask a few questions i think im doin everythin correct. I got a stopper then a float then a swivel. then 1 metre trace with size 8 green hook ! also weighted with 00 and size 1 stoppers to get the float down till about 1 inch of the top red section is only showing ! i have found the stringy type of weed ! is this suitable? i put a loop for the hook and put the weed through the loop and wrap it around the hook different ways for each side. is this correct? and also how deep do you think the weed should be in estuaries? i seen a guy today with about 30-40 cm trace and the stopper wasnt that far up ! should i be at this depth as well? roughly what depth should i be fishing at? also how often should i be burleying and how much? i dont know if im burleyin to much or to little thanks

thanks for all the replies guys ! much appreciated
