  3. boatart- PM to follow Brickman- will place an order soon, just curious what lb trace are they running? cheers
  4. Scratchie- cheers mate pretty sure thats exactly what Im after the 10 pack looks pretty good for $80 Brett - yeh mate thats the only skirt/ feather I have at the moment, haven't had any luck though on it yet though predominantly through lack of trying further to my last - any brands/ shops/ styles to stay away from. cheers guys
  5. hey raiders, Looking at getting some skirted lures…… mind you I'm on a budget Im happy to pay around $100. But I don't just want 1 lure for that $100. Would prefer a pack I was thinking under 20cm but if recommended would go bigger. Target species kingfish, dolphin fish, bonito, tuna….. basically all pelagic's outside of billfish but I wouldn't turn one down…..hahaha If you have any idea what colours, sizes, head shoes ect work best around this area I would be greatly appreciative. Cheers
  6. hey guys I recently only switched from right to left handle but only on the reels that i intend to use for lure fishing which requires multiple casts in quick succession and I have found that having the handle on the left means that I hold the rod with my right hand open the bail arm with my left hand retain the line with my index finger on the same hand that is holding the rod. so having said that the right hand never leaves the rod making it more efficient. where previously I had changed hands to cast. well at least that is how it feels to me. If you haven't tried it and you fish with lures or soft plastics. I strongly recommend you try it, not just for a cast or two but for a hole session or a hole day and you might be surprised with how good you get a fishing with the other hand. thats my two cents
  7. Cheers Mate. And well done on 5lb mainline. Were you targeting a Jew? I really need to get back out there and chase them
  8. hey mate great fish what system were you in ?
  9. Oh and I forgot on the way back in just inside botany heads there were a lot of fish busting up on the surface. I suspect it was Salmon or taylor given the time of year. they were along the northern side of the channel about half a km inside the heads.
  10. Hey Guys and Gals, headed out to the peak at around 8 this morning and were dominated buy leather jackets. lost alot of tackle to the bloody things but we also got a few to take home for a feed. we hit all of the cardinal points around the peak each of them riddled with jackets. moved in closer before the storms hit where we didn't even get a bite. Called it a day around 1 before the wind got up too much. and as expected got home and the sun came out lol enjoy
  11. Mate I have been snorkelling around there a few times and it is very quiet until you get out a bit further say 100m and the water depth is close to 3m. it may have just been the day I was out but finding fish was rather difficult.
  12. Yeh its all good guys, it was all meant in good humour. Yeh I bought me an engraver on the net the other day and when the insurance comes through I will be going nuts with it. and the local tackle store will love me!!!!!! It will be like christmas in July
  13. Hey yeh cheers guys. Im in Cronulla and the cost came too $3500, had the police come through and they took prints but I'm pretty sure they were mine. mike2153 nah mate it was 2x stradic 3000, and a sustain 4000. 4 shimano raider rods ranging from 1-4 kg to 4-8kg. god help them if i see them with my gear when I'm fishing next.
  14. Hey guys went for a fish on Sunday morning and some %%%%% had pried open my garage door and flogged all my gear on Saturday night. only took all my good rods all of my tackle 2 spear guns. All covered by insurance we took out on Thursday!!!! They will think I'm pulling there leg. Gonna keep checking all the online points of sale for it and all the pawn shops. Anyone been in this position? What's the best course of action? Cheers
  15. Hey Keflapod, mate it was tide to the bridge pylon that i was standing on, not that you can see it but yeh there is a rope attached to the kayak. ya gotta be in it to win it mate. best of luck
  16. fat_souvlaki nah that was in around Kogarah bay.
  17. Hey , Headed out to wet a line on thursday, flicking SP's conditions were good. It was a 3 hour session didn't get a thing not one touch. however I did want to share this pic.
  18. Mate any where close to open ocean will have nil effect, if you end up some where up stream check all the water runoffs and see how much water they have and also check the water colour, after a big downpour as the tide runs out I have seen the main channel of a river with brown water and clearish water either side and swimming up and down the outside of the brown water was bonito or frigates picking off smaller fish. after a big period of rain i always fish the mouths as thats where the bigger fish wait for the bait to be pushed out.
  19. your always so consistent mate good feed enjoy
