Fun2fish

As much as I like whales I wish they would keep away from me I had 1 come so close I could have touched it with a rod scared the crap out of me

Well done planning on getting out there this weekend hopefully weather is ok

I keep remembering these blokes now another one I worked with would have about 20 joints on the boat that didn’t bother me but when we got home to clean the boat he lit up one with my teenage daughters inside the house.not happening . Re previous post rel and his mate the mate was pissed when he got to the ramp drank bourbon all day rel insisted on coming home to help cleanup gave them a coopers each and old mate starts vomiting in front yard .now it’s 99 per cent on my own I always pay for the lot anyway

I had one day about 10 years ago I took stepdaughters adult boyfriend out after I’d had a big night on the beers was crook as a dog but stayed out all day just to watch the arsehole suffer

Yeah I’ve had all of the above even had to supply a rel and his mate beer and cigarettes as both had no money always tell people to take a seasick tablet cause I’m not turning back . Dave your workmate needs a smack in the mouth

Hi Neil we all know the moon can play a big part with fishing maybe just the tides I don’t know wouldn’t surprise me if it affects other creatures as well . Might be something to all those pagan rituals after all

Hey well done will be going same grounds tomorrow after I try for snapper weather permitting

Yeah zoran is spot on I’ve had plenty of times weather reports were good get out on water and conditions have been scary as hell not much fun heading in when you’re scared shitless keep an eye conditions if things change head in

You will be fine start at 50mtr mark and keep going deeper if you keep catching under size I went out yesterday and bagged out it is a fair way out as depth drops slowly so make sure you have enough fuel also make sure you have sinkers to hold bottom.weekends normally find a few other boats out there. do you have all safety gear?

Hey pickles yeah it’s near on impossible to see where you’re going in that kind of fog it was a slow careful trip and why I stopped at juno .I do know area well but still a bit dodgy.had a few years back travelling from apple tree bay trying to work out where the other boat was that was making wash realised it was me going in circles

Early start today on water 4.30 am heavy fog would have got lost without gps easy to get disoriented in that fog . Stopped near Juno and wet a line while waiting for better conditions to head outside not much there but only stayed about 30mins and vision ok .went to 150ft deep and a few blue spots up to about 60 cm nice drift but as water got deeper bite slowed down . Back to 150ft and bagged out on my own today so only enough to share with 1 older couple I usually give a feed too just have to be careful because the wife eats the flathead and makes poor hubby eat bloody mullet

Hi mate depending on where you’re coming from parsley bay boat ramp at Brooklyn is a great ramp and only about 10 minutes further to travel to heads

I normally start at 50 metres and go deeper if need be

How deep were you fishing I’ve struggled there since the floods I’m normally in 56. 60 mtrs

Dlvbw yeah it’s my normal spot if I’m having no luck inside always wondered how far out it was as takes a while to get back to Pittwater.your right about how slowly it drops off ,I was out on Saturday picked a few snapper near whale beach and went to flattie grounds when it went quiet only 1 keeper blue spot I have found them hard since the floods.Dave it can be a good spot most times but lots of undersized so need to move around normally further out

Agree boat and car prices are crazy I don’t understand why I had a terrible 2020 work wise I would have thought people having less money would lower cost did everybody cash in super I can’t work it out.I did go out today and motor was fine ,once it warms up no problem came home with 3 pannies largest 48cm only 1 flathead fishing out of broken bay

Yeah a lot of internet hype didn’t expect to much . Going from twin 40s to a 75/90 looks around 11k only paid $5000 for boat but I’ve had it nearly 24 years did put 1brand new motor on in 2003 had to replace other original one about 5 years ago with bargain 2nd hand one just hard to find these the 1 it replaced was around 35 years old so not complaining if I have to go a single will try for used and sell these the one I got new is a fantastic motor hasn’t let me down and will have spare motor for parts

Hi frank motor is assembled and working at the moment I tried to fix with j b weld a few months ago and it worked for a while but is starting to play up again. I’ll probably order new head gasket and pull it apart again for another look just tossing up options as it’s a twin set up and those motors aren’t so easy to find.used outboards are getting top dollar and new 4str are expensive for a 40 year old hull but I wouldn’t be want to be boat less should have found a cheaper hobby

Tohatsu m40c would be easy to get at spot just don’t no how successful welding would be so after advice.hole is about size of match head thanks

Hi wondering if any one has had a small hole on outboard block repaired it’s under head gasket where water jacket is

Some great fish there mate well done

The fishing was good some good size tailor and trevally but I was going for a feed I don’t really like buying fish because I don’t think it’s normally all that fresh

Hi all so a 3.30 wake up worried about holiday chaos but launched at parsley bay 4.30 still plenty of parking Mooney Mooney ramp was closed for some reason (does anyone know why) so went to west head for Live bait got a few yakkas and sun coming up slow troll around barrenjoey headland nothing at all wind was fairly strong not what bom had posted.anyway hanging for fresh fish meal so off to flathead grounds nothing at all back into Pittwater tailor everywhere had a ball with them a few trevally as well kept 3 flathead so fishtonight

Mate great fish I didn’t realise they grew that big and good on you for letting it go too good a fish to kill for bait

Well done I went out Monday and done the flat tie ground there as well and not even a bite big difference a day makes may try again Friday if weather ok but not sure what crowds will be like this easter
