Cracking fish mate! Biggest I've seen caught from a boat, 62.4kg landbased is still biggest I've witnessed, nonetheless absolute cracker! Something you'll never forget! Congrats!!!

Mate it's all about time on the water and less on the internet once you get that first the rest will follow!

Gives me that Kingie Itch... Nice fish mate

Well done on your first King mate! May the rest be tough and back breaking

Note for future reference mate, if you're going to take something home to eat it, wouldn't you be better off taking something you know? LOL, I sure wouldn't go to Woolies and buy an unmarked can of sea creature then cook it and eat it! Eel does taste nice I agree, but what if it was something protected or poisionus? Just my 2c

I think you need to be either 24.564m from the left or 35.321m from the right, depending on the sun or moon reflection and the current, also take into account the wind and the tide... Left Side, Right Side, Middle Side, Inbetween Side? I think your best bet is to spend some time down there and work it out for yourself mate, you might have just been on the wrong side of the beach at that time, fish don't stop and wait for us, spend enough time at any spot and you'll get the feel for it and where the fish should be! People can give you reports on how they have gone, but they can't put you on the grain of sand to catch a fish, that my friend is what makes fishing fun! And the sense of achievement so much when you get on! Good luck

Cheers mate... Been a good day soo far just ashame that froze and got soaked and no fish came out to play... Bad days fishing is still better than a good days work... Time to get the drinking stomach in place... Gonna be a long/late night... Cheers Ben

Mate, You are a very lucky man... I been up there for Fishing trips twice and it was mesmerising, we were predominately throwing massive poppers from the stones and livebaiting off the stones but GT's, spannies, barracouda and the dreaded sharks (in the 1000s ) that were screaming 13kg of drag off like it was nothing ahh they were the days... Maybe next trip maybe catch up and we can have a fish or something... Cheers Ben

Shoalhaven Heads Caravan on the corner... Spent many many many many hours of holidays/fishing down there great for the whole family... Cheers Ben

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GOTTA LOVE THE INKERS LOL TOP SHOT MATE.... Just a shame he got that shirt stained Cheers Ben

Well done mate, nice way to go on a break from Aussie Waters, jews and kings what a life... All the best with trials in Greece mate, good to see people with sense, to make a break in soccer you need to get well away from the 'Hyundai A-League' an absolute joke of a league that only makes players lose skill as far as I can see... Got a few family members in pretty high up spots in Italy mate, soccer naturally, I think Lazio, Genoa and Napoli... If Greece is no good or want to dip your toe in somewhere else send us a PM and I'll see what I can organise for ya... Can't hurt to trial? Cheers Ben

Mate this is for FISHING REPORTS!! Your supposed to tell us how you went at Pittwater not ask where to fish? Hopefully tomorrow arvo you can put some pics and a good report up here instead... Cheers Ben

Mate have a little squizz back through the forums, It seems like every day someone is asking something about Avoca, seems like everytime I log on there are the same questions and answers for the area... Have a squizz back over the last week, maybe 2? Should be a tonne of info, alot of helpful Raiders here... Cheers Ben

Totally agree!! Well done mate solid effort out wide... Let us know when dinners ready Cheers Ben

Good call... Good fish mate, well done... Cheers Ben

South Coast Mate... Always have a 24kg set up for some action... Don't use circle hooks... And when line is screaming and your bait has been eaten, you'll know... LOCK UP!! Yeehhaaa bring on the New Season... Catch ya down there maybe... Cheers Ben

Yeah mate... Sharks all through the Georges... Do plenty of night and arvo missions for them all the way along... Using big game reels and have had line absolutely smoke off before busting off... Cheers Ben

Quite a way mate... Never heard of an Aussie Bass outta the mouth of any saltwater river... Can't help you out with Bass up there though, not my grounds, I do have a question though... You have a houseboat and are targetting bass?? Cheers Ben

haha nah mate... waaaayy off.... In my experiences anyway... Mate, EPs are all along the georges, if you have a tinnie I would just try fishing under a few of the bridges on your way along the river, you never know what you''ll come accross but yeah Captain Cooks and Tom Uglys in a boat for jewies would be the go... Although do some tracking along the georges at night (beware of predators ) and you never know Cheers Ben

Mate less talk more drop... It's fishraider not crabraider... So long as you got some traps in the water with some bait your a shot... Try near mangroves, try all sorts of things, you may come accross a gem spot that noone else would have thought of or knows about... Just remember, a trap + bait = a chance, bumping + repeat questions = no crabs at all... Crabbing over computing anyday!! Cheers Ben

G'day Mate... If your looking at getting the right gear to set up for this (Land Based Game Fishing) I suggest you start saving, mate it is extremely expensive and lots of hard work... But can be well worth it... You'll need to basically start your gear collection again (a good excuse) I would assume, I most certainly had to when I first got into it... Better off using a float or a balloon to keep fish on the top, don't not use a float or the little bugger will get you snagged somewhere... One other thing, if your going to be fishing for big fish of the rocks, you will need a gaff... Any other questions feel free to PM... Cheers Ben

Mate you got me number... Let us know a coupla days before you wanna go and I should be right... Cheers Ben

Good on ya guys... Good to see people openly share info... Just be sure to keep a spot or two for yourselves, or you may one day go buggah... Nevertheless hope you get good karma with your fishing... Cheers Ben

Haha yeah mate... Good feeling in the end though... Probably be going down in the next 2/3 weeks... How about you?

Well done o the sambos mate, Welcome to the site... A good gutter is quite important off the beach, well done... Eating the sambos or using for bait? If your eating, how ya cooking them? Cheers Ben
