Hey mate this is my first time going down is there any were to land base fish when the lake is drained??

Well crap I don't think I'll be doing much fishing as I'm going down there in may .....I might go to bunnings and buy blocks of wood and strap it to my feet to increase surface area on mud like snow shoes 🤣

HEY guys I need your help im going down to lake mulwala and I would like to know what the fishing is like land based and as I am a salt water fishermen I often use live poddy mullet for bait I was wandering if there were any freshwater bait fish species like or similar to mullet Any tips about any type of bait would be appreciated

hey pickles i 100% agree you don't know what you have hooked till you have landed it it is defiantly some thing big. i suspect a manta ray or a massive shark. on a norther note i love the way you fish. keep trying new baits see what works and keep using it . i would be a idiot to switch up my bait that works very well for me its good local bait caught from about 1km away. i believe you cant beat local bait .

hey mate that gave me a good laugh. i use fresh caught dead mullet when fishing for jew fish as i always have left over poddies form flat head fishing. they make grate dead bait i have taken a lot of flat head on dead poddies evrey think seems to eat them ...any way back to the point ..you talking about 80lb line and saddling up me and my uncle go land based at a little beach and we keep hooking some thing that keeps snapping our 50lb line like butter. the line is obviously snapped or bit off . we maniged to get this thing into a few feet of water befor it went on a massive run and busted us off i was wondering if you have any idea on what it was ... 8/0 hooks , lots of sharks and rays in the area.

hey guys i am a 17yr old land based fisherman in the paramatta area. i know that yakkas , live squid and mullet are the best bait for jews and kings but i struggle to find a spot to catch yakkas so i was wondering if any one has tried baby tailor as live bait i know tailor fillets are said to be amazing bait for jews. small tailor also closely resemble yakkas so i was wondering how baby / small tailor would go as live bait for king fish and jews.

legend depending were i fish the most i use is 12 to 30 all depends when drift fishing in my normal spot i use 12lb but when in Pittwater i use 15lb

i dont set the hook either mate unless brim fishing ..i find they hook them self specially using poddy mullet

hey mate ....me and my uncle keep those 1-4kg k mart rods in the boat for catching small bait ..one day we caught a 45 or 50 cm king fish on them and the rod handled it like a champ

cheers for the help mate

thanks mate .....with new boat i should be able to keep more rods in the boat

hey mate this might be a stupid question but if you spool your line onto a norther reel so the fresh line is at the top of the reel. are you not worried about a fish stripping line down to the bad stuff ...i know it wont happen but just came to mind

hey mate thanks for the help i really appreciate it. i just sold my crappy no name tinny yesterday. in hopes of buying a bigger boat such as a qintrex 440. hopefully then i will be able to carry more rods in the boat as i fish in my old mans boat and he is very old fashion the typical "why do you need more than one rod" "what do you need all this shit/gear for" i was looking at the shimano fxg viper 4 to 8 kg as it is not super sensitive but its not to stiff

hey mate thanks for the advice i have a million rods but im trying to find my self a fairly light drift fishing rod. mainly for up the back of estuary's for those flatty's. i was thinking the shimano viper fxg 4 to 8 kg as its fairly cheap and there good rods...

hi guys im looking for a hand deciding what kg rod to use for inlet / estuary drift fishing with bait. i have recently seen a rod i like but its only 3 to 6 kg and very sensitive. from my experience with drift fishing you don't want any thing to sensitive while drift fishing cause it looks like you are getting bites when you are not. any advice or experience would be appreciated
