Hi guys went out today with my nephew round 11am, put the tinnie in at Kooliwong, then did a few drifts at the start of the run out tide. Got a few pesky little bream but nothing to write home about. At least it was an excellent day on Brisbane Water and I hope to be posting about fish in the near future instead of the weather! Ant. PS Just used prawns for bait soaking and got the bream on Gulp worms cut in half...

Hi just got a v small rock cod or something.... Didnt stay that long tho cot a call up for work Ant.

Anyone interested in going to sth Avoca rocks this fri the 27th June? I will be floating strip baits and livies and also breading for drummer. Cheers

Has anyone fished either Terrigal or Avoca Lagoons? They get opened up fairly regularly so I can't see why there wouldn't be fish there. However I have NEVER seen anyone fish them (been living at North Avoca now for 6 weeks) - I tried to see what was at Avoca by throwing some bread around but nothing touched it. There is good structure there from fallen trees, plenty of bird life, but I'm interested to know if anyone has any info about these lagoons. Much appreciated, Ant:)

Has anyone used these by just floating them under a balloon or similar? Want to set a line at Avoca rocks (using the squid SP as 'bait") whilst I play with wash for drummer and bream. What do you think? Any advice?

If you need to kill some time at work or Uni then google newgrounds for hepas of flash games and movies / serials. My fave at the mo is "Mole surfing" - Google that and then try it out. My PB is 1375.4m Took me bout 25 mins to get it.... Unfortunately you can be hooked easily so BE WARNED you can spend ages playing this one. Dont get the boss angry link to mole surfing http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/mole-surfing/

Hi, You can pump nippers on the other side of the Gos Railway bridge, always seem to be plenty there. I also like Paddy's and The Rip, but the Rip can get crowded. Also there are heaps of oyster leases about but not all are in use - so a fish finder is good to have a squiz at whats about before tying off or anchoring. As for sand flats, try Patanga creek. Bit of a drive but I've pulled out huge lizards thare, in the 2-3kg size (landbased spinning snd on SP's). I reckon a drift there would go off!! Ant.

Guys, even though I threw out the beach fishing idea it seems the Jew Social has gathered far more momentum and as a result I too have jumped on that bandwagon. I'd rather score a ride and sit in a boat than get wet feet and sore arms from casting - geez I sound like a whinging Pom!! Have a good time if it goes ahead, if not maybe reschedule till 07??????

30th September sounds great. I'd rather go hunting for jews (make that mullaway!) than beach fishing as it allows more time for Lock me in Eddie (or whoever the new person is) PS. Above jew/mullaway reference aimed at Mel Gibson.....

Reckon I could get the bro inlaw out for this one. November eh? Count us in.

With me being a Uni student I get plenty of time during the day to watch cooking shows. I reckon the best tip Ive got is when deep frying DO NOT put your food on paper towel, cause when the towel gets oily, the food sticks and batter goes soggy. You would have noticed in fish and chip shops that they have a wire basket to deep fry with, and once food is cooked they usually lift out the basket and let the oil drain off over the fryer. To sort of replicate this you need to put the fish (or chips or whatever) onto a cake cooling rack, which would be over paper towel (to absorb oil), thereby suspending your fish and keeping batter crispy!!! Ant. PS. I thought there was talk of a recipe section being created? Any more news on that front?

Well it seems that those dates in August are not too good. Maybe we should allow more time? It would give the weather a chance to warm up, and maybe the majority of interested fisho's could make it. Septemeber? 16th & 17th? 23rd &24th? All suggestions welcome. The more raiders that can make it the better! Also, pushing the date back gives me more time to practice....

Sounds OK to me. I need to have a date though to arrange time off work, cause I live on the Central Coast I will def need the whole weekend off. How bout 26 and 27th August?

Thanks. I googled "kayak rod holders" and it seems that if you dont want to drill into your hull (which I dont) then the humble milk crate is the go. Still, I would like to see some setups to get some ideas....

Would anyone be interested in doing some "social" beach fishing? Would probably be better once the water / air temp gets hotter, but nearly everyone could do it (no boats needed) and the area to fish (ie beach) would accomodate heaps of people. No real "specialist" tackle is needed either, as those without beach rods could work the shallows for choppy tailor, whiting etc. Area to hold it could be done by popular vote. Anyone interested? Any thoughts?
