Thanks for the replies greatly appreciated, ill use all those hints and report back here

Hi, im just wondering if anyone can help me with a few beach fishing pointers. I'm new to it all so I was wondering if people could answer a few questions i have. I'm starting off targeting bread and butter species so here goes. 1. Do tides really matter? Whats the best tide to fish off the beaches? Ill fish Cronulla beach 2. What rig do I use? Normally my sinker gets twisted above the mainline where the swivel meets the lead. 3. What areas do I fish for bream and whiting? I've been told that I dont need to fish gutters but im not too sure? Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Nice one! ill have to get one, where'd you get it from?

Nice one mate! Its a massive thrill to get a King on bream/flathead gear, i managed one that went 74cm on 4lb great fun! I had a T-curve too but it got stolen, do you mind me asking what you paid for yours?

Shimano stradic 1000fi, Shimano T curve tournament and a rapala bag full of SPs, HBs and jigheads. Cronulla area.

Thanks for the replies guys, all has been considered and I think ill keep using braid with a long mono leader. Also one other thing, Whats the best tide to target squid? I've had most success in low levels of light, and jetties with flood lights. But I really haven't taken much notice of tides. Is water movement good and what is the best tide to fish them?

Hi was just wondering what the general consensus is when fishing for squid? Its getting cold so I decided id target squid this season Just a couple of questions, 1. What line should I use? Mono or Braid, at the moment im using braid but when the squid pulls it doesnt give anything and the hooks pull quiet a bit, could this be due to the minimal stretch in the braided line? 2. What rod should I use? Im using a T-curve bream plastic rod atm, that is fairly stiff, should I be using a rod that is more sensitive? As in more softer in the tip? 3. Normally I fish waters that are around 2-5m deep, considering id like to fish for medium to large squid what size and weight jig should I use? Keeping in mind that im fishing weed beds with some current? Anyway guys, if you could please answer my questions it would be greatly appreciated!

there is a reason for that.

Nothing to do with water pollution.

Nice fish, to me it looks like captain cook bridge.

Good luck with the find, But since when did Shakespeare make expensive reels? And it took a while to reaslise you lost it, anyhow you'd be surprised someone may hand it in.

Sorry bout the late reply, but if possible scrap the prawns, dont use them, try and pump nippers from Maianbar, that is when you go out next.

Where'd you pick them up?

If conditions suit, and you have a suitable boat i would suggest Shark Island.
