Browny

Gday everyone, My names Dane. Im a 27 year old OHS Manager in construction. I was born and bred in Dubbo and went to Uni in Newcastle for a few years before ending up down here in Newtown. Im an avid live music enthusiast and DJ semi regularly at a mates club night in the city. I also play Rugby Union in the Sydney Subbies rugby competition over the wrong side of the Harbour at Lane Cove and can see myself propping up scrums for quite a few more years. I used to fish growing up with Dad when we went up to Lennox Head for hollidays. I always loved wetting the line with Dad but never had any gear of my own so most things that Dad taught me 10-20 years ago have been forgotten. Last year I kitted myself out with a bit of gear (estuary suited stuff), a license and have found myself a fishing buddy too. Neither of us know much about what we are doing (although, I know a fair bit less than him!) but are keen to get amongst it and learn as much as we can. At the moment we are basically working on trial and error and are really just finding our feet. Thanks to some advice from other fishraiders we had a great morning last Sunday down at Lilli Pilli, and although neither of us actually got anything we were pretty stoked to have a few decent bites to at least show us that we must've been doing somethin right!

Thanks for the tips guys. We've decided to head down to Lilli Pilli sand bar and try and give some flatties a bit of a nudge this weekend. Landbased, Im originally from Dubbo, but spent a few years up in Newcastle at Uni. My mate is originally from Parkes.

Hi everyone A mate of mine and I are relatively beginner fishermen (both of us did a bit of fishing growing up but havent really done anything serious for years) and neither of us are originally from Sydney. We are looking for places to go that wouldnt be too far for us to travel where we can get into a bit of decent fishing action. We live in the inner west and are (being from the bush) better equipped for estuary/river land based fishing (neiher of us have access to a boat or have any beach gear). We were thinking of maybe heading down to the Port Hacking this weekend. Basically anywhere that is within about an hours drive of Newtown would be suited to us for starters. Anyone got any hints they're willing to share? Cheers, Browny
