Now that summer is well underway, I have been heading out to my local surf beaches in the eastern suburbs targeting beach worms for bait and then bream / whiting. I find that most fishing has to be done post 730/8pm on weeknights due to the crowds but I hardly ever see any other fishos around other than in maroubra. lately I’ve getting a lot of stingrays 6 or 7 hookups in the space of an hour. Does anyone have any tips on how to avoid them? other than at maroubra has anyone had much luck with getting beach worms at the other beaches ?

Gday everyone. first time post so double as an introduction. took two friends out today (one who has a first time boater so always a worry). Late start from us and launched at rose bay just after 9. nothing too complicated on set up, just bottom bashing on a paternoster rig chasing flatheads- using a mixture of frozen pillies, squid and a few beach worms that I save from last week that were gathered from Terrigal. All 3 baits produced results. Clearly not picky eaters. Location was about about 2kms from maroubra beach 50m depth. one of my regular spots that usually goes well. great conditions with a northwesterly most of the day. Both blokes held up well and we managed to land a decent haul. First time fisher actually pulled the biggest of the day- measuring in 55cm, so you can say he’s now hooked. All in all a great day. Somewhat surprisingly rose bay was quite for the long weekend, must be the cold weather keeping the boats dry. Nothing beats beer battered flathead fillets Imo happy fishing everyone sergaus
