okay well could you let me know if they do when is the hair tail social

Hey guys just wondering if the hairtail have come into cowan creek etc? Has anyone been out chasing them yet ?

We used really small jigs and when they grabbed hold you strike really hard

Finally got out on the water on sunday. Got to Roseville at first light and we were away tried for some squid at the Spit before it got to light no luck. Found some yellowtail filled the tank and headed out around south head once again no luck so we decided to come back in. Went to the small bay near the spit and picked up 7 really small cuttlefish (Kingfish Candy) another boat went past and said there was a few kings around so we pulled up a mooring and dropped down three live cuttle fish and with in 5 minutes we were on. We were running heaving jigging tackle as we were in shallow water and this fishing wasnt stopping a it got us busted us off. So down went more baits and yet again we hooked up but again couldn't stop it these were big kingies. fishined their and finally land a small one wasn't much fun due to locked drag . On the way home we stop at North bridge and hooked another King and we landed this one it went 68cm. In the end was a good day just a shame we could land a few more.

Hey guys I am just seeing if anyone would be interested in entering a fishing comp in sydney harbour boat and landbased so just comment on this and ill see how many people I get

Great thanks Roberta, I hear the reports of Cobia etc off the Gaol, is there a mark or reef there? How far off the Gaol do they go ? Cheers

Hi All, We are heading to South West Rocks next week for the school holidays. Does anyone have any reports of how it is fishing at the moment Cheers

just to the left of the wharf which is under construction

yes to two fish were released im not a fan of keeping big flathead anyway

Up Early Leaving the house at 5 thinking why are we doing this leaving at 5 in the morning just to fish from the shore arriving at Roseville boat ramp at about ten past 5. Finding our spot just to the left of the wharf first thing to do was to catch some livies with about 10 or so lives we set up to rods with two yellowtails under float within the first five minutes both of them were smashed with no hook ups pulled the livies in one with no head and the other one in half ( any suggestions on what would of done that two them). Anyway we put two more livies out with no luck until abut 30 minutes later the livies was smashed and we were on we had no clue what it was until it leap from the water and i knew it was a salmon was a good fight. About 30 minutes later we were on again this time it was a nice bonito we were thinking could this day get any better in fact we thought it was going to get worst with the wind picking up and blowing righ into our faces anyhow we put a livie with a running sinker within 15 minutes the reel went screaming my mate grab the rod with me thinking it might of been a jew but as soon as i saw it i almost fainted it was the biggest flathead i have ever seen taking a whole yellowtail i was surprised final landing the beats we were amazed we had nothing to mesure it but we were guessing between 80-100cm. After this we were pumped and put another bait down and what do you no we were on again this time being another monster flathead this time on 75cm but still a big fish from Roseville wharf after this it went quite so we decide to pack up was one of the best days fishing of my life :1fishing1: HAVING TROUBLE UPLOADING PHOTOS CAN ANYONE HELP

Hi All, It's been sometime since I logged on. I am hoping the forum can again provide some information. I am looking to do a fishing trip to the NT and would welcome any advice and tips. The idea at this stage is that there would be at least 3 of us being my father (80) and son (12). We would like to enjoy a variety of fishing but at the end of the day would love to tick off a couple of personal goals such as big Barra, GT, Spanish Mackerel and everything in between. I don't want much. My research so far seems to point me to the Mary River area and the Mother Ship concept also appeals but this is all open. Any ideas and suggestions are welcome along with any websites. Thanks in advance for you help. Cheers, Aqua

Hi all, I am hoping someone might be prepared to divulge yellowtail grounds. Anywhere from Roseville up to Balmoral would be great. Thanks, Aqua

Thanks Guys, For all your suggestions the double Uni seems to be best for me to tie although I still need to practice? Thanks Again, Cheers

Hi All, I have spooled one of my reels with 6lb Fireline but I cannot seem to tie the leader knot correctly. It either consistently slips out or on the odd occasion that I think I have got it right is snaps at the knot. I have read the articles at the front of Fishraider and I am copying the knot shown there, but I must be doing something wrong. Please help. Aqua

Hello, There is an Australian Fish Museum listed in the white pages at Pyrmont. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it something that young kids would like to go to? Cheers, Aqua
