Jords boi

Hey my name is Jords. Been fishing since I was a young lad back in the 90’s but only just started getting a bit more serious and well, addicted. Love being in the outdoors and nature and the idea of being able to catch a fish for dinner, but also keen to throw back anything that is better off in the water for the populations. Usually fish around the Hawkesbury and sometimes up the coast of NSW (smiths lakes/forster/ port Stephens) and some beach fishing around the northern beaches. Still learning about soft plastics and have had some luck but nothing substantial. Get a lot out of reading people’s amazing knowledge and experience and already had more luck and fish after joining. 

Only picture I could find was a bream off the beach at last light (and my last cast with last bit of pilchard.

If you try during daylight you will see what your bait does as the tide goes out.There is a deep channel next to the rock wall ,follow your bait as it goes down the wall if you don't get a hit repeat the process. Good luck Scotty

which side of the bridge? like if youre driving down from the north turramurra entrance and you get to the bottom, before you cross the bridge on the left or right side?

Hey mate,try the south easten rockwall near the roadbrige at bobbin head at night on the last 2 hours of the run out tide.use the freshest mullet strips or garfish fillets cast out with 6lb line and a tiny split shot and you will be in luck.This has worked for me many times over, mind you that was 10 years ago but caught plenty of o/s bream,school jew,and even a big eye trevally from that spot. Let me know how you get on.

Cheers Scotty 

Will do! Thought it might have been too shallow there for big guys but will give it a go!

Sounds like your using bait. Try using soft plastics. In my experience you tend to get less fish but the fish you do get are usually larger.

Here's some Fishraider links if you want to get started

Thanks!! Yeh I’ve only had a bit of luck on soft plastics around this area, mainly small stuff, some tailor but that’s about it. But will take all these into account and give it another go this week! Thanks again

First time poster and fairly new to fishraider, already learnt a heap so thanks everyone. Mostly do my fishing off jetty’s and the shoreline around the Hawkesbury, cottage point, bobbin head, areas around that. Just wondering what kind of set ups where best for fishing like this, would love some advice. Been catching a lot of small snapper, leather jacket and the occasional decent bream.
