  2. Heading south this weekend to chase a few bream around the shallows in St Georges Basin and have a crack at some big salmon off the beach great time of year for a beach fish and a lot of fun. I can feel home made fish cakes coming on. Never too cold to fish !!! Cheers The Skipper
  3. Yeah mate I want a sticker . The Skipper ( red )
  4. I don't suppose there could be a change of date please ? As it is my 40th wedding anniversary on the Sunday and if I go it could be my last. Just putting it out there but no problem if it can't change. Cheers The Skipper
  5. Hi mate am heading up there this weekend with a couple of mates and we r putting at Summerland Point . Any chance of some areas you fished for that nice haul . cheers The Skipper
  6. Mate I have an onsite van at Cudmirrah for nearly 20 years and have fished alot in the basin for always getting a feed of lizards . I was down there over the long weekend and fished all around it for not one take. Water temp was down to 13 degrees a pretty dramatic drop and this will push them deeper. Plenty of bream around as is always the case down there. I sometimes prefer to fish the beach at Cudmirrah just north of where Swan Lake comes out there are several gutters that are good fun on some decent size salmon at times to 80cms. It is a great family location as you have got the beaches , inlet , the quays and the basin plenty to choose from. My PB flathead out of the basin is 82cms so far but there are much bigger around and you can sometime even see them lazing in the shallows but will not take a lureor bait. Anyway that is fishing ! Cheers The Skipper
  7. Hi mate are you Craig from Signage One ? It is Paul here from ADCOAT Graphic Solutions you have bought some of my two pack coating for banners. I have a 6mt Sailfish which I would like to wrap can you call on 0412 383 240 to talk cost. Cheers The Skipper
  8. Hey mate I knew it was too good to be true I cannot make that weekend it is my 40th weddding anniversary on the 13th Sept so I am , again, a scratching unless the date changes. The Sklipper
  9. Mate I am in ... hopefully I can make this one. Cheers Paul
  10. Mate have not a Barracuda but had a Blueifn 525 bow rider best made boat I have had and should never have sold it.
  11. Mate use to fish the harbour a lot and always came home with a feed also plenty of throw backs. If you a drift out from Middle Head back to the rock at Balmoral you should pick up some reasonable flatties and bream.Also do the drift across near Old Mans Hat inside north head back towards Manly we always got under size snapper and flatties check keep an eye on the ferries if they are running as they do not give way. Up into the harbour try area around Clifton Gardens. Bare in mind it is a very busy waterway on weekends especially Sundays with yacht races etc so go early and come home early. Try and launch from the north side of the harbour rather than going back under the coat hanger it gets like a washing machine once all the ferries start running. We had a lot of fun over a lot of years fishing our beautiful harbour but too many idiots with big powered boats that do not know anything about boating is a turn off for me these days happy just to do the estuaries and chase Kings down south.

  12. Thanks mate yeah have always caught under size reds especially at the reef you talk about in Yarra Bay thanks for the marks I will give them a crack.
  13. Hi Raiders I am looking for any spots to chase some reds during winter in Botany Bay or beyond if anyone would share some intell would really appreciate it otherwise I might have to do the trip north and stalk Scratchie for some spots. Cheers The Skipper
  14. bloody awesome news now lets all do the right thing !
  15. Mate my go to knot is the uni knot for everything ... just my preference
  16. I am planning a trip out the newly located FAD of Swansea next week. Does anyone know of spots I can get yakkas or slimes in that area ? regards The Skipper
  17. Nice healthy looking lizards Good job. the skipper
  18. August last year took a large slimey two minutes after it hit the water.
  19. Just a couple of snaps with my Dollie PB 135cm at the FAD out of Port Hacking and a great day on the reds fishing with my two boys some 18 months ago in South Australia before the snapper ban.
  20. Mate I get my live bait where a lot of others do in the little cove where the tug boats live at the opposite end to Moullie Point and the last couple of times we have got plenty of yakkas with the odd small slimey mixed in with them. Best to get there as early as you can purely to get a spot as it can get packed with boats and do a bit of berleying it does tend to bring more slimeys up. If you do not have any luck there is a reef in Yarra Bay that attracts alot of bait fish and it normally holds slimeys most of the day it to gets popular so you should not have any problems finding it.

  21. I have seen that colour a lot in estuary caught flathead which predominently live around weed beds with the flesh not being as firm as the blue spot or ocean caught species. It is off putting when it comes to eating but have never had any issues with eating them. Have been getting a few good numbers out of the bay recently all around that 40cm mark and they are that clean white flesh along with the tailor that are lurking in there as well. If you look after them as soon as they are caught and straight on ice they will keep nicely. The Skipper
