Hi All, After some advice on what people use for shoes/boots for rockfishing away from Sydney Sandstone . . . I have my good old Dunlop Volleys with cleats for around here, however am lead to believe that up the coast on different types of rock these are actually a disadvantage. Taking a road trip up the coast shortly as far as Yamba, so looking to get some of the right gear. cheers, stu.

Pretty sure there was a thread about growing your own. Have you done a search?

Yes, weed is definitely the preferred bait.

Papa, it's never the same from one day to the next. All part of the challenge! If the 'down' is slow, wait 3 or more seconds. Could need up to 10 secs (or more). If the float rockets down, tighten up straight away. Blackies have a soft mouth, so a big strike is not necessary as you can pull the hook. Hope this helps.
