And I must've just gone on a bad night cos I looked along that wall and no one was there.. the only people I saw were prawning Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

I just thought I better clarify cos I got the impression ppl thought I was weird for worrying about safety Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

I should probably add that i'm female.. and a real chicken so that's why I have a concern about safety lol Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

I could but I dont really feel safe out on my own anyway so thought somewhere well lit would have a greater chance of there being others fishing Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Apparently the lights at the entrance jetty go out at 10 any other suggestions?

Thanks.. The entrance was where I was thinking too (after I posted naturally). I might give that a shot as I really struggle with fishing the tides at Swansea

Hi all, Just after some suggestions on safe locations to go fishing on my own at nite either around Lake Macquarie or central coast please? Preferably with a decent amount of light and other people around so that there's some security at least (or that it at least feels that there is). I'm living near morisset but happy to drive half hr or so.. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

lol guess you always have to know more than someone My partner taught me the basics a couple of years back but that was it.. He doesn't even like to fish so I go on my own

Thanks so much. Don't know what I'd do without fishraider! I had no idea the sinkers I was using were designed to 'roll' with the tide. Makes sense now that I think about it though. I'll get some pyramid sinkers and see how that goes Thanks again for all the info everyone

I tried about 3 different spots.. And all the same. Sounds like star sinkers may be worth a go. What size would u recommend? I only have a light rod (I think about 2-5kg). And also, what type of rig do u use with a star sinker? I've only used ball, barrel and bean so far... Thanks again for all the help!

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. Sounds like I may have to buy some new sinkers and time my outing better One other question ... The main problem I'm finding (other than not feeling bites) is that my line is coming back in towards me and the rocks so its not able to be left out for long otherwise I'll snag. If I try the other side of the river on the same tide does that mean my line should be taken out rather than back in? Sorry if it seems silly but still getting my head around how it all works

Hi all, I've recently moved to the central coast and wanted to have a go fishing swansea but the tide was ridiculous. I couldn't tell the difference between tidal movement and bites! Does anyone have tips on what to do in this situation? I tried a heavier sinker and that made no difference at all. I'm landbased and using bait (not sure if that's relevant or not) Thanks in advance

Oh good. Just didn't want it to end up being wasted! Thanks

Thanks. Thought it must've been.. I got a feel for both today and am steering towards the Ci4. Now just gotta find it for a decent price. Anyone seen one of these closer to the $200 mark?

Was this the FJ or CI4?
