@dirvin21 I've fished that stretch of river many times before Dave, it's hands down my favourite spot!! Trust me when I tell you that it only gets more magical the further down you go!!

Nice work, some great fish! One quick thing though, may well pay to check out this link https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/pests-diseases/animal-health/aquaculture/white-spot-disease In NSW it's recommended not to use prawns intended for human consumption as bait to prevent the spread of white spot disease. We want to protect our fishery, this disease wiped out over 2 million prawns intended for stocking, if it gets into our waterways it has the potential to cause irreparable damage to our prawn fishery! Great fish again guys, just wanted to put that information out there!

Go the 8000 Saragosa, it's higher speed than the 10000 so better for casting slugs and stickbaits (not as tiring casting and retrieving all day) Still has 12kg of drag and can fit just under 300m of 40lb power pro, so if you put on a high quality japanese braid with a smaller diameter you can fit more on the spool for when you go out and hook a big longtail

Nice to see you listened to the advice when you came in the store Stewy! How was the water level when you went up?

Mate! Congratulations! Cracker of a beach jew! What was your rod/reel set up? And standard running sinker rig? Cheers, and congratulations again!!!

Ah legend! Cheers Marky haha Yeah, the salmon are always good fun in the surf! But then again so is just about anything you catch! Haha

Made the last minute decision after work on Saturday to make the drive to narrabeen and soak some pillies off the beach. Arrived at about 6:30 and got two rods set up with baits out, only saw tbe last hour of the run in for nothing but a small tailor, then the tide turned and fished the first two hours of run out for these two lovely sambos that both accounted for themselves very, very well. The first (slightly smaller) one took to the air about 8 times which was great fun, and upon inspecting him closer something had taken a big fresh chunk out of his right shoulder! Was a great last minute session on a beautiful, clear night with some good results. Photos of the two sambos to come (when I can figure out how

cut the throat at the beach and get it on ice straight away, will be a thousand times better eating then

Fantastic report! And bloody well do e on the fish! Outstanding BFT!!

like reubs, I too am curious as to what area you were fishing? cheers, dan

Steve, how did you go?? Dan

May or may not have heard of blues already being caught at the edges of a large eddy in the currents off sydney at the moment.. can't say exactly where obviously, but it was out wide..

Was this land based or boat?

Great stuff! Do you mind if I ask what weight jigheads you were using? it looks like it might be as bit as 1/6th oz but I would have thought that was too heavy! Haha congratulations on a great day's fishing!

Hey Raiders, I was just wondering if anybody knew of any half decent land-based bass spots around the central coast area? Or even around north sydney? (Hornsby/Dural etc). Any help at all would be MUCH appreciated, got my first taste of bass fishing last week, and now I am well and truly hooked!! Cheers! Dan
