Thanks guys Yeah I’ve fished congwong. Had some success with flathead, bream and whiting. I enjoy fishing there but yes, swimmers can be a problem I had a feeling La Perouse point was more a squid area and certainly does look snaggy. I wonder if certain rigs would do better there because it’s so snaggy Fufu

Hi All Wondering if anyone has had any luck chasing squid and kingfish or anything else really from the picture below. I’ve walked the area before and look like there’s a lot of kelp and sea grass Not after any secret spots or anything like that, just want to know if the area fishes well? P.s I know Bare Island can fish well but gets busy sometimes Cheers Fufu

Thank you for the advice. I’ll definitely give that a shot and see how I go Fufu

Hey guys Just after some help/advice Lately i’ve been fishing the piers early morning for squid with no such luck Usually start about 5am to about 7-8am with a 7ft 5 timber wolf paired with a Daiwa Aird 2500 and 20lb main line with 10lb leader Most guys there use a paternoster rig with jigs being 1.5-2.5g and a small sinker. They use a double hip or one big lash. I stick to a double hop and let it sink before repeating. It’s about 10mtrs deep. They make it look easy but I can’t seem to land anything. In the end I switched to a standard set because my paternoster rig started twisting Any advice here would be much appreciated guys. I would love to catch a few and put a few out for some kingfish as there has been some good catches on live squid FYI I have considered using a skewer jig but I thought it’s a little deep Fufu

Could anyone recommend an app or device? Sounds like some great bit of information to take advantage of Fufu

Well being algae it should hopefully die off soon and allow things to return to normal Fufu

First spot was Drummoyne and second spot was Clifton gardens I spoke to my local tackle store and he is confident it’s sea grass that has “sprung” for spring. I guess the next question is will stay a while or die off. Really frustrating at times. Fufu

Hey guys Just a quick question. My last two fishing trips have resulted in no fish. I’m find there’s a lot of seaweed at the moment. Almost hair like. I’ve been fishing land based with a size 4 sinker and size 4 long shank mostly for nippers. Normally im ok and catch a few here and there but the last two trips have been shocking. Every time I wind in to check on the bait the seems to be a massive ball of seaweed around the sinker and bait. In the end I had to resort to float fishing. Is anyone else having this issue? Fufu

Never heard of bacon as bait lol Fufu

Why wouldn’t you use oyster sauce? Heard it does ok Fufu

I grew up in Croydon Park so I know the area very well. It seems the most common cut of meat is skirt steak. It’s been recommended the most. The only thing that seems to differ is what mixes to have with it. Being daylight I guess you would need a trace that long and I’m pretty sure I would set up like this I do appreciate the response and I’d love to hear more Fufu

Wow I never thought ever of using a syringe. It’s a bit tedious but I can definitely see the benefits of it. I wonder if oyster sauce would be just as effective as tuna oil? Id like to see how I go with steak as an alternative to chicken Fufu

? my missus said the same thing. At least either way I’ll come home with a feed Fufu

Hi All Wondering if anyone has tried using meat/steak as an alternative for bait? I was thinking of cutting the meat (possibly back straps) into thin strips to mimic a worm. I also wanted to marinate it with soy sauce/tuna oil, Parmesan cheese and maybe garlic I have tried the above with chicken and have had some success but I wanted to try it with meat and see if anyone out there has had any luck targeting the bread and butter species? Fufu

I tried the dyed beach/blood worms over the weekend. I was actually very surprised when I went into the tackle store and saw them. I didn’t know what to think but I tried them anyway. I was very surprised with the success I had, particularly with whiting Fufu

I might be wrong but I think blaxland was actually asking if anyone was a guide, I.e to literally take him out and show him the ropes. Could be wrong though Fufu

I know there’s a lot of people that won’t like this and a few that would but I use a egg snap so I can quickly change lures instead of tying straight to the jig head. Personally I don’t think it affects the lures swim pattern but that’s me. I’d use 4lbs Fluro carbon leader with a zman grub or Slim SwimZ as a starter. Double hop and slow roll would be a good starting retrieve Fufu

That’s crazy!! Looks like an unreal session Fufu

Some great catches there Nice Stuff! Fufu

Yeah it was of good size. 68cm Fufu

Thanks mate. Absolutely!! Loved it Fufu

Nippers and 1 hit a soft plastic slap bait Fufu

Yeah it just seems like they are all over Mind you the bait balls around are of epic sizes too Fufu

To be honest I was set up for bream, so I had a 2-6kg rod with a size 2000 diawa reel on 8 pound line. My leader ran right through I have no doubt I completely fluked today Fufu
