    Beach fishing

    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!
  3. Nice one! ill have to get one, where'd you get it from?
  4. 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?

    Stolen

    Shimano stradic 1000fi, Shimano T curve tournament and a rapala bag full of SPs, HBs and jigheads. Cronulla area.
  6. 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?
  7. 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!
  8. there is a reason for that.
  9. Nothing to do with water pollution.
  10. Nice fish, to me it looks like captain cook bridge.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. If conditions suit, and you have a suitable boat i would suggest Shark Island.
  14. Imo you can't go past nippers, they are live and they are what is natural to the whiting.
  15. I have only ever seen one in the river, and that is with 50 combined years of experience.

    Spotted Trevally?

    Since when did they venture this far south?
  17. Yea my preference is Tuffline if over 10lb. No its not, its fused line from memory.
  18. Bonnivale, Royal national park.
  19. It is massve TBH its the biggest I have seen. We got them around Bate bay, as in round the Jibbon heads and round towards the Bombora. We get the the rats around there, they are fun, had 4 goes at them, Put down a live yellowtail, dead yellowtail, pilchard and a Squid, of course the squid was taken by the King as it hit the water. Ahhhh yea, I think thats because they are breeding atm, but yes he is right about that, get out there and give it a red hot go! Cheers Hi mate, um I was flicking around a 2.5 jig and got told to put it away so I did, i put a spike out with a yellow tail through it and that took them all. If you want good squid maybe try around the kelp beds in your local area. Cheers.
  20. Went out this morn, launched from Dolans bay, headed inside for zilch so we went out. Did really well getting 3 squid new (PBS) and some rat kings bout 50cm so they went back all the rats were taken on squid. Heres the pic.
  21. Good stuff, I plan on going out tomorrow. What are the seas like? BTW what ramp is that?
  22. So how do you prepare octopus, do you still belt it as you would if you were frying it?
