Oh ! Glad to hear others have been in the same boat , tried & tied so many time it's no funny with the big 0 as a result. went out with a mate . and caught my fist Squid 3 weeks ago . now what was the Dif my mate is a good Squid Specialist . all I did was using one of his jigs & bingo . I used to big of a jig and it was only a cheep one . his was $20+ jig 2.5 small jig with result so I went out got one myself & when I went out the week after , I got two squid . so it defiantly matters the quality jig you use. (note that's only my experience) good luck ! Cheers Oziodin

Any Raider's entering in the 22ND Hawkesbury Classic 14,15,16th Nov. ???? maybe if there is someone who needs a ride or got spare room on their boat . just putting it out there . Cheers Oziodin

I would say it's about 1.5-2 k out between Palm beach south and New port north about 1/4 way north of New port I'll give you the coordinates if you are interested. cheers Oziodin

Got to Parsley bay Boat Ramp around 5am had a chat with another Raider at the Ramp it's a small world. went straight out to Pittwater just inside the "Light house" head land (intended to Down Rigging with live Squid at ScottsIsland) .after an hour off trying with different yamashita jigs and only had 1 Squid to show for it . decided to change of plans was meant to go to Scott-Island Down rigging but with only one live Squid instead decided to go to Long Reef , Ha Ha Ha never made it there. Half way between Palm Beach & Newport tried to do a drift around Birchgrove wreck around 42-45 meter depth started to pick up some nice Flatties between 38-51 cm size . after bagging 12 flatties we decided to try west Reef as the wind started to pick up "NE" by the time we got there, There was white caps on the sea decided to give it a go but couldn't hold bottom so ended pulling up Stumps 2pm headed back in cleaned our Haul of Flathead ended up with 2.5 kg Fillets Between two of us . I say we will be eating like Kings ( just checked at the shop $43 Kg) & Ours is Fresh Yum Yum and most importantly it was Another Awsum day in Paradise, Being on the Water in this Beautiful Country .like I say if Plan "A" fails use Plan "B" Than "C" always works out . No matter what JUST enjoy Life !!! Cheers Oziodin

Same here a big 0. when I went on Sunday. when Down rigging at scotts with live Squid & Burley heaps only to be chumped up by small Tailors. but a good day on the water is pure Magic. cheers Oziodin

Head only off 1 yellow on channel 21 where I don't know

Browns Today . Got out early today put the Boat in at Roseville Boat Ramp 5:30 am . motored thru the Fog & the dark. the fog hadn't set in motored out thru the heads and about few kilometres of the head the fog lifted nice going 20 knots ! calm sea as well really enjoyed the ride watched the sun rise ( about 12 mile) finally arrived at Browns 7:15 am and all ready about 15 Boat there ( The Mako Comp was on ) the sea was quiet calm anway dropped the 6 pound led and line over the side and with in 15min first hook up. 450 meters down after 10 min of the Electric working hard to bring my first Blue Eye up to the surface ( only a small one ) but none the less my first blue cod .how good was this ,Awsum !. Than the going went a bit slow go another bit but Mr Shark decided otherwise & about 350 meter line as well, bugger #@%$&%$ !. rigged up again still had plenty of line left rigged up again 30 min later same again ( sharked with another 250 meter line shorter) I wasn't interested in catching a shark . rigged up again but next drop I could only get down to 350 meters no more line to get to the Bottom, lucky I had a 80lb Braid 1000meter spool spare in the boat got enough line on the electric did another drop. next hook this time I got a bite only Half Gemfish came up. and did few more drops tried few different spots . There is some very unconsidered fishoes out there balloons every where you just had to go slow and watch out but some of the boaties just sailed over cut line of others from what we head on channel 21 about 10:30 got my Biggest Gem Fish 110 cm nice one had my limit and my buddy also bagged out so off we went to 12 mile tried some jigging for Kingfish after 1.5 hour and nothing to show and very sore arm's & shoulders we decided to call it a day and head back in going was a little slow as the water was getting sloppy, got back in loaded the Boat onto the Trailer than cleaned the fish, After a Top day on the water & good Company, I'm now sitting down hooking in to some nicely Fresh cooked Gemfish the wifey cooked make all worth while . after We cleaned the Boat so it ready for the next adventure witch most likely will be Hair Tailing next week as the weather forecast doesn't look good to going offshore . if anyone haven't been Gem Fishing before put it on your Bucket List .
