Awesome Photos, when i was in Uganda i went fishing for them, did manage to catch one, nothing like the size of those though. Look like barra

Hi Dave Nah i haven't had a go since i posted, was up at Taree last weekend though and got amongst a few which was great. I am currently working at homebush bay and look out over the water everyday wishing i was fishing instead of working, never have tried the flats there only the rock walls where i have had sucess. Hen and chicken bay is usually productive but i have had no success as of late either, maybe i am just getting worse! Thanks alot for the tips Greg, did you sell the skeeter? Randall

Thanks guys I fish that area a bit but have caught nothing recently, I normally stick to the flats, edges so i might give the boat hulls a go (always wanted to try that, after seeing it on TV) I suppose i just have to keep trying Thanks Guys

I have a 3.85m quintrex explorer with minn kota electric. Want to fish mostly west of the bridge as it can get a bit too sloppy for the boat during traffic.

Hi Guys Looking for some new spots to chase bream on lures in the harbour as my usual spots have provided me with jack. Without giving away secret spots can anyone give me some tips for the harbour. Any help is appreciated, and if needed spots are welcomed on my boat, (nothing flash but does the job) Thanks

I have to vouch for stewy, i went and saw it and was surprised.Good show

I use the daiwa saltwater series rod, 7ft 15-19lb rod and daiwa 4000 terria. Caught jacks, barra and reef fish. Doubles as a snapper and light kingys back home as well

Can you really fit 4000 metres of PE8 braid on a stella? Would hate to be paying for that much braid, also more than the reel itself. Maybe 400m??

What kind of boat is that?

Try the daiwa saltwater series. Took one up north, awesome rod

Baitcasters are made for casting. The thing is to get the cast control and magnetic brake just right. Best thing to do is get some cheap mono and practice with that as braid is expensive. Also baitcasters are not the best for casting light weights i.e bream lures, and don't be afraid to use your thumb when casting especially as the lure withs the water.

"Sting"

I love Finns Braid, best i have used

I have a lowered commodore ute and it tows my 3.85m tinny no worries

Hey Greg What kind of depths do you use surface lures? Guessing shallow flats and the likes Thanks Randall

Thanks guys for the offers, what a great site

Hey Guys Just looking to upgrade my existing boat which is a quintrex 3.85m explorer. Was looking at the 4.5m Hornets and 4.1m polycraft boats. Never been near or seen a polycraft before, would i notice much of an upgrade space wise on the explorer? What speeds are achieved in a polycraft with 50HP? Is there much room to fit under the console for a big man (6"2 110kg)? Is the finish a bit dodgy? I have heard great things about stability, ride and noise and they seem good value for money. Any help would be great Thanks

I had a similar outfit for the NT which i got back from. It will handle it no worries. We trolled for barra and mangrove jack as well as reef fishing for coral trout, black jew, fingermark etc. Shouldn't be a problem

Smaller stuff for bream and bass i like the gulps and the old bass minnow.For the bigger stuff flathead, snapper and barra i like the squidgy. Saying that the have all caught me fish. Probably depends on what i feel like tying on, more than what the fish like.

Yeah you never know what your going to pull up! I liked your reports too

Hey guys Haven't been on here for a while ( bloody work) but i just got back from my trip to King Ash Bay on the Macarthur river north of Borroloola. It was a great trip with the old guys and the fishing was tough for the territory. Many of the locals stating that the fishing was the toughest they have ever experienced. Still we did alot of reef and estuary fishing catching many different species. The highlight was my first barra going just under 80cm, some of the virgin species were mangrove jack, fingermark bream, black jew, threadfin salmon, coral trout, mackeral, queenfish. All in all it was a awesome trip and can't wait to plan my next one (swordy that bass fishing at glenbawn looked fun might go there) Attached are a couple of pics Cheers Randall

So does the tierra

Great fish for the nepean, watched the vid too, what an awesome boat, wish i had one Cheers
