  1. Hey guys! Going to Darling Point this Saturday night What do i need to know? I'm going with a mixed group. We've chosen Darling Point because some of them don't enjoy fishing so much, so we wanted something comfortable What's the most productive thing to do? I was planning on burleying up, trying to catch some yakkas, throwing a line out for Jews or anything else that bites. Whilst that's happening in the background, i'll be bottom bashing with possibly yabbies or squid on a 1m leader Any advice for the area? Any other suggestions?
  2. That is unbelievable !! I spent 8 hours on Pitt water, trolling, jigging, the works and got nothing haha
  3. Sounds productive enough I spent 8 hours on the water a couple weeks ago and landed nothing haha
  4. Uni knot is awesome, never fails! I always use smaller all round hooks to pretty much hook up anything that bites. I'll use Yabbies, and i'll try larger chunks of squid from time to time, incase there's anything with an appetite bigger than the fish that the yabbies are bringing in. I know the basics, but never fished the area.
  5. Hey everyone! My Girl Friend got me a $200 BCF Voucher (God bless her soul ) I'll be fishing around Darling Point with family on Saturday night. I usually don't fish that far out (Considering i'm from West) I usually go to Clarke's Point / Drummoyne. With this voucher, i'll be purchasing A proper Live Bait Bucket for my Yabbies New Tackle Box 14lb Mono line What else can i grab? Something that may be handy at Darling Point. Not too sure what gets caught from there, what size fish it produces etc. What hook sizes are good, and can anyone offer some advice on that area? I still want a kingfish! Haha but probably a low chance at that depth & time Any advice at all would be appreciated
  6. Lol it's still cheaper than most other addictions !
  7. A mate and I booked a Runner Boat from Barrenjoey Boat Hire (great lads!) We planned to fish from 7am with a 4 hour booking. "The Kings are biting" is all iv'e been hearing lately & Iv'e never caught one. Personal Opinion, but that's my trophy fish. We rocked up at about 6:45. Signed the paper work & Started to load onto the Boat. Standing on the pier, i could see Kingfish casually hanging out & thats when i knew i was up for a great day! (How wrong i was ) We got onto the boat, heading towards the Moorings At Clareville. My mate realised that his line was really loose, and had nothing to do with the drag. Looking closely, the line itself was loose so he pulled all of the line off, creating chaos! Tangles upon tangles. A lot went wrong, but for a 7am booking, we didn't get to cast before 8:30am. He felt really bad, and it wasn't intentional so i didn't care about that As we headed towards Clareville, we didn't bother checking our maps and thought we had arrived (How wrong i was ). It was our first time in the area so i was working with the rough map that i had in mind. We were actually fishing around Palm Beach Ferry Wharf for an hour, to realise we were in the wrong spot!!!! We then headed to Clareville and fished from there. I Was targeting the Kings and my mate was targeting anything that bites. No luck, what so ever. I was working with a 3/0 Jig Head, whole fresh squid & Flick bait (Alternating).. Still no luck. We decided to follow the sea gulls and they seemed to have no clue either lol We moved closer towards the rocks and houses, and finally some action started to take place. My stubborn self was only targeting the Kings, but my mate had pulled in a few snapper throwbacks. Suddenly he was on again, all of a sudden the Rod bent like crazy. He labelled what ever was on there as a lazy fish. It was really heavy, but no fight. We could not see any colour, but from nowhere this MONSTER (and when i say monster, i'm talking about the shit that you see crazy anglers catching on the Discovery Channel, in 3rd world countries) rose to the surface. It all happened to quick, but it splashed like crazy which ruined our sights as to what it was. My mate said Flat head, but the girth on this thing was way too round to be a flathead. Possibly a cat fish? Anyway, what ever this 30+kg looking beast was, spat out the baby snapper which was hooked to his line. The one that got away!! Kept trying our luck, and even extended our booking to 3pm. Tried different locations with a range of baits and methods and it wasn't to be. Perhaps one of my most frustrating days yet! PS. we were trolling with a skirt between different locations. I wouldn't take this to heart, as i still think Pittwater would produce (Especially with the Barrenjoey Boat House owners saying that their customers have been catching It was painful being awake from 4am for a nothing day, but that's fishing ! Hopefully i can land one next time
  8. Iv'e got a bunch of different lures that i can use, including the bibbed minnow, and i'll be grabbing the suggested ones tonight I live an hour+ away so arriving at 6:30 should be good, but any earlier will be tough. The boat is from Barrenjoey Boat Hire, it's near the headlands, but it's a dinghy as the rest are sold out lol. Depending on the Chop-O-Meter, i might troll towards the heads. Thanks everyone Fingers crossed!
  9. Thanks for that Would you suggest around Barrenjoey heads ? Or deeper into Pittwater? I'll go with a lighter line Possibly a 15lb. If i'm throwing flick baits around, what rig am i working with? I'll get a few flick baits and i'll take squid just for variety worst case, if the Kings are playing hard to get, at least i'll be able to fish something else
  10. First Post Let's make it a good one! I've come to the conclusion that there's no such thing as a comfortable / productive land based spot, and if there is, it's raided by.. Let's not go there because they're my kind and i'm fed up with their nonsense and mucho attitude! Lol A few mates and I will be hiring a boat this Saturday from Barrenjoey and fishing the heads. I'm pretty sure they'll be happy with anything that bites, but i've got 2 personal trophy fish. 1 is Kingfish, and 2 is Salmon. From what iv'e heard, the Kingys have been 'very' friendly lately. Iv'e done a lot of research, but iv'e heard so many different things! What's the most effective? This is what i plan, is this a good or bad move? 30kg, or 30lb (Forgot which iv'e got) Mono Line, with a 3 way swivel. One end with my line, the other end with a Float, the 3rd end with 3-4m of line with a fresh squid and a tiny tiny sinker. What size Hook should i use? Should i get a lure? If so, which? Is it worth trolling with a skirt? I plan on getting there really early, maybe 7ish. I know they're early morning top of water feeders Any other tips? I'd love a salmon too! Is it a good location for Salmon? I'm more focussed on the Kingys though Cheers
