After the big winds there was plenty of wire weed on most shore lines .

The blackfish are starting to show up in better quality.. weed is harder to find.. these were caught on soft weed

Sorry.. It was supposed to be a new topic.... Caught at the entrance

Went for a quick fish at The Entrance plenty of small flatties around but managed one keeper. Went to magenta beach yesterday. Managed three sambos and one trevally.(all released) However a group of Fishos also catching salmon would not release...

Thanks for the advice.... Really appreciated

Can anyone recommend a good 10 foot plus blackfish rod for ocean rock fishing. Cost between $100 to $150

There are two deeper gutters to the right ofthe surf club

No problems - will let you know few days before hand, but need to watch the tides.

Gents, Just thought I would let all know that the Sambo's are still at Wamberl Beach, But you need to the there for the high tide, and pay attention to your rod as they are biting very softly no real hard hits. Sorry but no photos as I released all the fish. There are some real studs among them but plenty of small pickers, mainly small sand flathead. I used a two hook rig, gang hooks and at the top a single hook with pilly pieces in case there were any bream or larger flathead, no tailor but still fun. Use the D & D formula dawn and dusk and you will have fun, just look for the deeper water,

Rick, Looking forward to catching up with you, fishing is always more fun when you can joke and share the experience. I will send you my phone number if you want it.

Mate, forgot to reply but I target Blackfish in the winter, SP for flathead but still learning, I have been spinning at the haven when the mac's are running and basically all forms of fishing including fly fishing for trout.

We are going to build at Wadalba and hope to move in by April next year

To the fishing fraternity , thank you once and all, hope to catch up with you soon

Dear fellow fisher's I will be moving to the Central coast next year, and love all forms of fishing from beach, boat and freshwater Fly. I have a 4.89 meter Stacy bay master with a 70 evinrude motor. If there are any central coast fishermen on line can you please give me some tips as to where to fish in this area, I don't mind travelling between the hawksbury to Swansea to even a little further. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Richard

Gutter was only 30 meters out , as for daytime at this time of the year - not sure as I never fish this beach during daytime

Went out of Friday evening to Wamberal beach - beautiful night - caught I huge sambo ( released) I tailor and a 4kg Jewfish ( sorry no photos to dark) all fish taken on pillies nothing on fresh squid. Lost two huge fish couldn't hold them on 20 kg braid - I think they could have been sharks - took off straight to NZ . There is a nice gutter in front of the surf club. If anyone is going to try hold onto your rod as the bites are very timid

One person did get a flatty, reasonable size, but one of the guys fishing for blackfish was going to use the guts for bream bait

All on local green weed - you can purchase it at the long jetty bait shop

Yes - but don't sit anywhere under the trees as bird poo flies all day long

Decided to try my luck at back fish. The guys fishing were very helpful with sharing knowledge. Ended up with a nice haul of 7 keepers and released many more. It was great to see the fishing inspector checking bag limits and licence. Always great to be near the water

The best access is from the Portal at the Denison caravan park as you can get closer to the river and then walk it. The best time is just before sunrise for about two hours and then on dusk. If your fly fishing use a glow bug (orange) with a black bead head nymph. You will need some split shots to get the flies down quickly especially if fishing the channels and runs. If lure fishing paddle tail rainbow trout plastics work as do most bright divers keep your license on you as some people got stung. Check when the season closers as I think its this weekend

Dear Fisho's, just spent 3 fantastic days on the Eucambean river with my son and two of his friends. The two young men have never caught a fish so I spent sometime in TRYING to teach them the fine art of fly fishing, well they were as happy as pigs in mud as they all managed one fish each ( all returned) as they were just under 50cm. I manager 11 in all with only one kept ( see Pic) a 67cm brown trout jack. But with low water and very clear visibility it was hard work. But it was great seeing the young guys now looking at buying their own gear for both fresh and saltwater as they are pretty keen.

Hi Raiders, late yesterday afternoon I put the boat in for a run as its been some time between fishing trips, decided to have a fish at the runway and was rewarded with 8 solid bream. I fished in coming tide with very light gear, the only bait I could get was frozen prawns. As I was only going out for a short time 5.30 to 7.30 I thought this would be plenty but alas, ran out of bait by 7pm and left them biting to live another day. Kept 3 for dinner and release the rest. Great evening on the water. Sorry no photos this time

First time post... lets hope it gets better Went to the Hawkesbury in Saturday late afternoon in hope of the elusive Jew fish, could not start worse, got the boat ready checked to see no one was at the bottom of the ramp, all ok. put the straps in the car jumped in and reversed, but some guy couldn't wait and just pull in and reversed to take his boat out, not seeing the car due the boat you can imagine what happened. Well after exchanging details still went out to Juno Point, but only managed two pike eels. Maybe a better report next time - talked to other fisho's and they had zero results.
