hey Brendan. im new to this site but know a bit to do with Narrabeen, as it's my local fishing spot. I normally fish the rivermouth for some great chances with bream and flatty's. Other places worth trying are the woolies bridge and Pipeclay point. p.s going to pipeclay tomorrow heres a map of woolies bridge... i caught my first flathead along wellington street, so maybe give that a go good luck, James Quillan

Hey raiders, I know this is outdated but i would love to write my very first report on a fish i caught in the week of the superstorm! 2 days before the storm, the surf at narrabeen was massive, and ruled out the narabeen lakes river mouth due to the sheer amount of water moving out to sea. After attempting to fish near the Lakeside caravan park, i moved to the Woolies bridge. after 3 casts, i felt some force on the end of the line. Thinking it was a snag, i pulled my rod up to try to get a better angle, then BANG!! fish on!! luckily the hook didn't pull and I had my first flatty,at 38cm. Thanks for reading, James Quillan

Hey guys, a couple of days ago i went fishing and used frozen pilchards as my bait, and they went well for probably the first hour. After that hour they went really soft and i couldnt even really place them on the hook. I was wondering if anyone had any techniques for preserving the pilchards to keep them from softening up? Thanks, James Quillan
