Thanks guys, yeah I'm very big on safety whether it's a breakwall or on the rocks. A fish isn't worth a human life and falling into a deep drop with a fast moving current is an avoidable tragedy! Yeah the gen black(2-6kg) flicks like a dream and has the power to stop a swimming brick.

Drop me a PM anytime mate! We also do jew sessions in the cooks and tomorrow morning we're going to probe some of the deep ditches we managed to locate.

2.5" Motor oil grubs always go hard! Great fish and great work

Good evening, Me and my work colleague (Vendee) who is also a raider decided to hit up botany bay real early. Initially our first plan at foreshore drive boat ramp turned into donuts so we relocated to the break walls near the cooks for a chance at some mean thumpers on SP. Vendee drew first blood on a pinkie which was promptly released, after an hour or two of talking and joking around that the bay is dead my sp was suddenly and violently pulled during a slow retrieve. 5 Minutes later we had a nice fat flatty on the breakwall, team effort as my colleague used the landing net. We moved to the edge of the break wall facing the airport and on the second cast I felt a sharp tug which prompted me to strike. Initially I joked that it gave up and started laughing as I started to haul it in but as it came closer to the shore it dived for the submerged structures, refusing to yield I ended up like mario kart with the bruiser steering it away from structure for at least 10 minutes. When I brought the bruiser closer for the 4th time I opted to lock the drag and finish the fight (it was clearly weakened by then but still fought hard) whilst steering it into old mate's net. All in all today was a team effort, I didn't catch the fish - We caught the fish! Any raider is welcome to join our shenanigans as we fish weekly.

Thanks Adamski! I'm currently waiting for the opportunity to chase Jewies, I'm just afraid that the usual holes I frequent are fished out.. :/

Good evening guys, I love to travel outside of Sydney just for fishing since it is so densely packed full of anglers that most areas are overfished. After catching a lot of undersized bream (where are the monsters?!) that were promptly returned to the water, I've managed two large flatties, one small flatty and of course a random pike who decided to have a go at the nuclear chicken shadz. I was also busted off by a large trevally, brought it close but the bugger kept diving until it took my leader. All fish were released, despite craving a battered flathead! Thanks!

Thanks guys! Unfortunately those anglers weren't getting bites on their prawns and squid, hopefully their luck turns around.

Good afternoon, My first report on this site. I went out for a flick this morning at botany had some good runs but the wind got the best of me so I ended up relocating to lugarno, I did not expect to catch anything considering georges river is usually dead this time of the year aside from blackfish but was interested in dragging and hopping my soft plastic on the bottom when all of a sudden i felt a hard pull, set the hook and the reel screamed (drag set to 1kg). After 5 Minutes of fighting I had a nice flatty on the boardwalk which was released to ambush more bait fish. The next cast I was on again but unfortunately the hook fell out and my 2.5" grub lost its tail, unfortunately my part of the boardwalk became unfeasible as the other anglers (I guess they had enough of flicking sp) decided to cast in front of me and stand close to where i was standing so I bid them good luck and left. Gear used: 1-3kg Jungle stix Symetre 1000FL Braid exceed 6lb + 8lb Sunfire FC leader 1/6 Headlock + Atomic Plazo 2.5" GrubZ (Silver) Thanks for reading!

Hi all, I'm a 27 year old angler who enjoys the thrill of the sport especially on lite gear where as hooking a large specimen is the easy part, fighting however is the most challenging. Naturally all fish caught are released regardless of size and species as I would love to fight them another day. I am a highly mobile angler and I tend to visit multiple spots over the course of a day from Pittwater to Port Kembla as well as fresh water areas (Lake Lyell, Nepean etc), constantly marking my map for deep holes and productive spots. Lures: blades, plastics, poppers and metal jigs (beach) Bait: Weed/Cabbage (Luderick) and Bread (Teasing carp) I have a lot to learn and I look forward to contributing to this community. Have a good day! Chapfish
