Thanks Gary - really good advice there. Sounds like a good plan. Hopefully the wind doesn't kick up too much. I was wondering about using divers around the headlands. I trolled from botany to maroubra once with a range of deep divers out and didn't get a hit. I haven't heard too much about using divers from people on this forum though - are they a decent bet?

I was looking to get out this weekend for Fin but given the 20knt westerlies predicted I thought this may be a bit too much for my 6.5m centre console 40kms from shore. I am pretty new to Sydney (from Coffs) but I was thinking of maybe working the cliffs south of South Head. Will this be a good strategy? Are there still kings around at all and what would be my best approach? Otherwise I was thinking of just peppering the cliffs with metals aiming for some tailor and salmon? Thoughts? JT

Any news? I am hoping to get out amongst it over the next couple of weeks

Great fish mate!! I really need to change our annual port Stephens family holiday to this time in the year rather than December!!! "....because the fishing is better" doesn't seem wash with the extended family of non-fishers!

What are people thinking about this sunday? Anyone got any insight into how the water is looking wide? Browns?

That looks like some really nice 23-24 degree water and a good temp break straight out the front?

Cracker whiting! Such a shame about the Jew! Fishing can hurt so bad sometimes!

Great fish there!

Thanks for the tip but I am in North maroubra but my street is too narrow and boat too long! I am very keen to try the stones around so I might have to give the south side a try for drummer. Surely must be a few good bream around too I imagine.

Really does the trick.

Yeah that is a great idea. I think i will try and do that this weekend. I am hoping someone will come through with good local option soon though.

Yeah I trolled past that section with hardbodies. Looks like very good ground with a nice deep drop off (quite quickly to 20m) I'll be going back there for sure with some livies. Where is the good spots to get yakkas/slimies in botany bay? Can you just put a sabiki down or do you need to burley?

Yeah that's right. When the boat ramp is done kurnell will be a great place to launch from. Still 40 mins from my place but at least I'm getting on the water which is the main thing!

Mate, it seems sapace is a premium down here. None of the self storage places around here will do outdoor space for boats because they don't have any space. You actually need to rent a unit and my boat won't fit in them!
