A family member of mine was also out there with his partner in the last couple of days and the same thing happened to them, with the pro's making threats etc. Aparently they launched a jig at his boat and were trying to really intimidate them. Its definitely not an isolated incident. (Unless you guys are the family members i am referring too LOL)

Hi guys, Breaming tomorrow up the parra river and was wondering where is the closest ramp to the pyrmont/fish markets area that you guys have used? We know of and have used a few but none that are too close to the areas we end up fishing. Thanks for the help in advance guys. Allen.

Didn't know where to post this and assumed the reports section is the most viewed so would be the best help. Travelling Westbound along the M4 this afternoon just past the eastern creek servo, I saw somebody's front and possibly side clears hanging neatly over the silver guard rails in clear view of the road. I know how expensive these things are to replace so hopefully this info helps some poor bugger find their missing clears. Cheers guys.

We cruised around to bluefish a fortnight ago to find two rescue workers with what looked like a body on their rescue bed, there were definitly no signs of life on the bed as the rescue guys were sitting about 5 metres from the bed talking and waiting. After a short time the helicopter came & winched them up and they left, there were a lot of fishos down there which would have been horrible to come across. Hopefully it was a training drill but it didn't look good. Any body know anything about it? Co-incidentally it was the same day all life on earth was supposed to end. Unfortunately for somebody it looks like it did.

G'day guys, I have a holiday to Forster over the Easter holidays that I am looking forward to, however having never fished the area I thought I'd throw a post up seeking any advice you guys may have. I will be taking the boat however am open to landbased options aswell. I also have all bases covered from inshore to offshore from the boat and all gear from bream through to Marlin aswell as Gps charts of the area too. Any advice on what, where, when & how aswell as any baitgrounds of any type. would be greatly appreciated guys, Feel free to PM if necessary. Thanks in advance. Allen.

I named my baby, "CHEAPSHOT"

Great fish mate, I was over there in March fishing with Carl and Tobi, great guys and monstrous fish. The fisheries over there are amazing. beautiful part of the world too..

One night squidding on my boat, I watched fellow Raider "Miller" and mate TJ (in their boat) bringing up squid, rigging them up and sending them straight back down to hook up to kingy after kingy in the middle of the night while they continued to try squidding. Hooked up is right though, with his comment regarding visual hunting. This area was very well lit up.

you've really gotta wonder what goes through some peoples heads dont you? Back to the Bonito, I've been hearing a few reports myself of quite a few larger billed predators in a lot closer than what most people would believe due to the swarms of bonito around at the moment. The Bonito seem to be in large numbers a long way up and down the coast too. They make a fun target too, the little rockets. Allen.

Well done mate, a few mates from work had a similar experience down there with a baby tiger aswell. They witnessed a fisho on his own bring one in around the same size too. I'll see if i can get there pics, almost identical in size too, from what i can tell. Same size and species in the same area, Might be something worth researching?

Thanks mate, thats exactly what i was after.. Allen...

Hi Guys, Doing some work on the boat for the upcoming season and have noticed my bimini has deteriorated a little, so Im in need of someone to re-do the Bimini cover on my boat. I know there is a Mobile guy that does this in the Glenmore Park/Penrith area but i'm not sure of the name of the business. If anyone out there can help me out It would be much appreciated, Or if anyone knows anyone else in the same area, preferably mobile, could they please let me know.. By the way, you will probably have to PM the details due to site rules, maybe someone can clarify that as im not 100% sure? Thanks all.. Allen..

Thats a NICE Gemmie mate.. Well done.

We had very large seal with a bung eye attracted to my boat once in Jervis Bay. at the time I was fishing with one other mate when this thing decided he'd hop over the gunnels and have a look at what was going on in the boat. we shat ourselves at first but he didnt seem aggressive at all. so we got a few pics and threw him a couple of slimeys into the water, after feeding him he let us pat him and everything. he hung around for a while too. We were lucky he was just curious because it was huge and easily around the 100KG mark. Ive got some good close up pics here somewhere I'll get them up.

Mate one of the combo's I have for this type of fishing is a Symetre 4000FJ matched to a Starlo Stix Maxspin Tournament Pro 7'2" with 14lb crystal Fireline. For around $300-$350 (cant remember exact price) for the lot its a great bit of gear. Casts a mile, loads up very well and is light and comfortable to use all day. I only use it for medium sized plastics fishing but So far Its knocked over, Kings, Jews, snapper, stripies and Dollies and never had a problem.

Mate, Ive often seen them advertised for $199 as a combo. I bought one with a 7 foot catana rod, which is now used as a spare rod, the rod isnt the greatest but its still cheaper than the prices you've found for the reel alone. No great secret as to what tackle stores have them as a combo as I have seen them at most tackles stores as a shimano combo at that price. Not sure what area you are in but it wouldnt hurt to ask your local dealer about shimano combo's. If you would like to know more shoot me a pm. I'll be glad to help out. Cheers Allen.

Mate, im sitting in an office freezing now and its the middle of the day!!!.. Well done you lunatic! Allen

I'll be Heading wide off Sydney lookin for Fin..

Okay guys, this just in... I spoke to North Sydney Council and the boat ramp is definitely NOT closed for this weekend.. but renovations are going ahead in the near future. Sorry for causing some of you to panic. Enjoy the long weekend everyone. Allen

Sorry Pel, its second hand info at best mate. So i was hoping someone may have a better idea for us all, especially with the long weekend approaching. I agree with you about the ramp, Apart from needing better lighting there, I definitely think its one of the better ones, if not the best one around. Does anybody know who I could maybe contact to find out for sure? local Council etc?

A mate of mine was out yesterday and when he returned back to the boatramp at the end of the day some workman that were there in regards to the new pontoon had a word to him and told him the news. Apparently they plan to re-do the ramp itself aswell so that it isnt so steep. I was also planning on using the ramp over the next few days so would like to know if anyone has any other info? cheers Allen

Hi All, Heard a whisper that Tunks Park boat ramp is now under renovations and is unable to be used at all. Can anybody shed any light on the subject? Thanks guys Allen.

Thanks Gary, Will definitely be stopping in for one of these maps.

Excellent work guys. Thanks for the info. Allen

Hi Guys, Im heading up to Crowdy Head for a 4 day weekend next week with a few other boats for my local pub, fishing club, annual trip away. Having never fished there before I was wondering if anyone could help me out with locations to gather bait or any reefs or marks anybody is willing to help out with. • Will be fishing out of my own boat (CHEAPSHOT) with one decky. • Have all bases covered and will be able to fish for anything from Whiting to Marlin. • Am able to swap GPS Co-ords of other areas in return. • All info greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys Allen.
