  1. Always great to see fellow Raiders enjoy a weekend down on my local waterway. That flatty sure has got some girth on it. Nice fish jenno.
  2. Swell size is the all important factor when beach fishing. Find a good weather app or website you like and ideally try and fish a day when the waves are 0.8 - 1.2 metres, a little bit extra either side is okay depending on the beach. Stanwell Park would have been very turbulent only because the swell was too big for that beach to cope with it. If the swell is say from the south and a little too big, take a look at the southern end of the beach, where it could be protected from the waves by a headland. Either that, or find a beach that faces north and is protected from the swell altogether.
  3. Little Flatty’s Slippery Thong kind of has a ring to it…………then again, maybe it doesn’t.
  4. 46cm is indeed a trophy fish and a capture to be proud of and to take it on a surface lure is icing on the cake. Great job. These Slippery Dogs seem to be pulling a lot of quality fish lately.
  5. That’s brilliant Mike. Just proves that besides the buzz of catching fish on a lure you made yourself, you learn a lot about how and why certain lures work.
  6. Thanks Donna, I thought you would have known. KFDU is the other group I was referring to. My understanding was that site went downhill rapidly when the owner lost interest and stopped doing updates, becoming a security hazard. The good news from all that is, that's when I started searching for another fishing forum and discovered Raider. Best move I ever made and haven't looked back since.
  7. Thanks for posting that Mike, I might give that a try one day when the Mrs ain’t about. I wonder what ever happened to Arpie/Roberta? She was on another group as well that folded a few years ago, was a damn good fisherwoman and a wealth of knowledge.
  8. I’ve never had success freezing string weed, having it come out smelly and falling apart far too easy. I’ve read elsewhere that others have done it successfully though. Some spread it out thinly on half a dozen sheets of newspaper and roll it up like a Swiss roll, then store it in the vegetable crisper of the fridge to extend it’s life, though the wife may not approve. If not in the fridge, leave it in a cool spot, like the concrete floor of the garage and it should last 2-3 weeks.
  9. No apology required at all Waza, in fact I’ve been in the same boat myself for quite some time. Your explanation on the climbing technique makes perfect sense now and thanks for the detailed answer.
  10. Great vid, I can watch this sort thing all day long. @wazatherfisherman why do they use that 2 handed rope system at The Mattens for the climb in and out? I assume there must be decent footing holes for that to be efficient. In all the cliff fishing I’ve done over the years I’ve only ever used a single rope.
  11. Blackfishermen are a fairly traditional lot and other groups that I’m on that are more luderick specific show many of the guys from around your area are from families that have fished the locations you mention for generations, so hopefully the future is in good hands in that regard. Only a couple of days ago I was thinking about the river I grew up on and how its funny that most of the popular luderick spots that were fished when I was a kid are not fished at all these days. They still hold fish and plenty of them, I just have no idea why they fell out of popularity.
  12. Shame it was a tough weekend fish wise @Bennyg78 but a couple of nice fish on day 1 was a pleasing result. Bonito Point/One Tree Bay usually fishes okay along the western side, so the fish might have been shut down with the approaching southerly. Great report and better luck next comp.
  13. I’ve only done it this way with string weed @Burger and kept it alive and growing for over 12 months. I don’t bother with keeping cabbage at home as the stuff is so plentiful down here, but have seen reports of guys doing it elsewhere successfully using the same technique.
  14. Keep it in a container with water collected from the same area where the weed is collected. Run an aerator in it every 3rd day for about an hour and if water evaporates and needs topping up, do so with distilled freshwater or rain/tank water. Leave it outside in a bright spot where it can get roughly 2 hours of sun per day, but be careful it doesn’t get too hot at this time of year.
  15. Nice going Mike, great to see you have success with the FFT popper, but if bream will take one of those Saikoro Dice, they’ll take anything haha. Seriously though, bream are like cats and when all else fails, often curiosity is their downfall. Bugger about the wasps, though it could’ve been worse. It reminded me of a story about a guy that was shaking a tree to get his bass lure back, when he was “crash tackled” from above by a diamond python and fell out of the boat.
