  1. Next time with a smaller group I might try Luna Park or the wharves. thanks for the suggestions. I’d prefer to stay east if the bridge If possible. I’m on the north side. the kids seemed interested in catching squid too. I’ve never caught one but I’ve swum with a few when snorkeling.
  2. Very quiet night. Someone caught a fish not bigger than my hand. most of us got 0. 😳 at least the kids cachet a few jellyfish and a little snake type water creature.
  3. Going fishing at night with kids, land based in middle harbour, Sydney. To make it an enjoyable experience For kids and adults, what tips can you give us? I’d love to take my 12 ft rod but I’ll probably take small spinning rod and be rerigging most of the time. 1. im taking 6 pre made rigs 2. I’ve pre cut salted bait, prawns, squid, pilchards 3. Not sure about using a float with lots of lines out in the water so I’m going with patanoater with double dropper, running sinker to a swivel and 6 lb leader 4. using size 1 long shank hooks, small circle hooks and maybe a size 4 circle hook with pilchards 5. hope to catch yakkas, bream, flathead, 6. is it worth it to try for squid if there’s no constant lights around? 7. should I set up a lantern instead of them using head torches? Ta
  4. Does Mrs Macquarie chair/point count as the botanical gardens?
  5. this weekend I’m using 12 ft glass rod with old alvey 650a. this sort of set up is worth looking into for beach fishing.
  6. I’m using a green 650a with 12 ft rod. its a nice bit of kit.
  7. Thanks. I had a flick with my son at dusk outside the hotel but got no action or fish. Used xrap lures. So we ended up at the trout farm and got a few for a chew.
  8. Ta. He did say the retrieve rate on the 4 inch was slow.
  9. Thanks. That’s a great start. We had good times fishing at Durras a few years ago.
  10. Looking to head down to Batehaven NSW in October. I have 2 kids in tow and keen for a bit of fishing. Rock fishing is out. Beach, wall, wharf fishing is probably the go. Are Corrigans or Casey’s Beaches more reliable for fishing than the walls in town along the river? Ta
  11. Is Tomakin ok for land based too?
  12. Thanks. might take a few sp lures and a rapala xrap.
  13. Hi there, One of my fishing goals as the weather warms up is to find some new land based spots in northern Sydney. I have tried Bobbin Head, Narrabeen lake and Bayview (too many dogs at the beach there) over the last couple of months but have come up short on all occasions. Is anyone willing to suggest a few land based spots around Pitwater that are accessible by car? Ta.
  14. Is land based shore fishing accessible and worthwhile around Jindabyne?
  15. Hi Otto, If the Alvey is still around I or my son could put it to good use. We are hoping for a few keepers as the weather warms up.
  16. Hi, Im doing some research on the next Alvey reel for my son turning 11 years old. He’s on a 4 inch and looking to use a 3.2m rod at the beach. Probably for flathead, bream, whiting, dart mostly unless he gets something fishy that’s bigger. What are your thoughts?
