Hi Guys Taking the family on a holiday and want to know if any of you could recommend a fishing Charter in Port Villa. Also is there opportunities to do any lame based fishing? Cheers Pat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Thanks guys. I will be fishing for whiting off the beach and flatheads in the lake....In the Clyde River I will be targeting flathead and maybe a Jewie if the wife lets me out after dark :-) I can't wait to get down there!

Hey Raiders taking the family down to North Durras next weekend for a week and personally I can not wait:biggrin2: I will be taking the boat and my surf gear....I have never surf fished before or in this area can anyone give me advice and idea of what surf rig I should be using? Cheers Paddy

Man this site rocks. Sound adfvise fishos! Pat

Hey Raiders Been a member now for a few years and love this site because I have learnt so much form fellow raiders. However, there is one thing I am still yet to do and that is to get onto a king fish - I haven't even had the chance to lose one yet. I have my own boat and go out most weekends in Botany Bay. I have trawled, I have burlied I have even prayed :-) But I am yet to catch a king fish. If One of the mentors woukld be kind enough to help me out on a session - on my boat or theirs I would be happy to pay for bait fuel; etc....I just want to bring home a dream fish....or a rat at 65.5 cm. Thanks Raiders pat

BigB you are a legend. Well done! What a monster. Cheers Pat --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-33.921876,151.159733

Thanks raiders! Stan you were right. I didn't even bother to read you post. HA! Mate we need to head out for a fish pretty soon. Maybe the first weekend in December? let me know how you are travelling. pat

G'day Raiders, I have been fishing the bay for the last three years with not a great deal of luck. This summer I am keen to hit the Harbour...But Parking puts me off. Should I persist or try for better hunting grounds. Raiders, which is better Sydney Harbour or Botany Bay. I am determined to bag my first Kingie this year!!! pat

well done mate, its good to get your first, your second....um your hundredth..:-) great news. Keep going, god knows I am trying every weekend.

Lovin the photo's Ray. As usual they are really enjoyable and well composed. I especially love the bottom one shot down low....great color in it. Thanks mate love glancing over your reports just for the pics Pat

you are a lucky fella! what a great day to be on the water ....and you got a show and a feed. Nice work!

Thanks Guys! Hey Obey1 that was us! He loves it. Now all he needs is a reel and some line for his rod!

Great Stuff. I am heading out on Sunday morning for a session!

Took my lil boy for a fish on the cooks this arvo. We didn't get a single bite. But I did capture this moment walking home.

if you have an iphone use tappatalk

As usual great pics Ray....Peter's right tho....how did you take the self portraits from a far and get back into frame....now thats photography :-)

How much fun that sess must of been. Lucky you...I was busting up concrete all weekend!. Well done mate. Pat

G'day Anthony, Its between the runway and the Novatel. It's approx 100 meters past the runway and 100 metres towards the Novatel. Its not so much a hole its a drop off from 5 to 8 meters. The 8 meter depth starts to rise about 500 or 600 meters off the shore in fornt of or just past the Novatel. Mate, next time we go out I will show you where it is. It is hard to find as the initial drop off is quite subtle. Pat

Amazing! Do they fight? Are they good eating. A lot of peeps on here seem to chase these critters - I assume there is an art to Hairtail fishing. Well done mate. I hope its a record. Pat

Great catch Kit, looked like a good day out there to boot!

Great Report Fezza - as always! And love the banter. I bet you will have those fish shaking in their boots. Paddy

Well Done Flattie_King, they are such great fun to catch. Bet you were stoked when you landed it!

Hey Finno yes. It's the jetty in Holdbeach Ave. He went back in after the photos and victory dance.

G'day Raiders, my six year old daughter bought me a telescopic rod from the $5 Fathers day stall at school. As soon as it came out of the packet my two year soon claimed it. He kept saying "boot...boot" meaning boat. Unfortunately we didn't have time due to a family brunch (where I am typing thisî„…). So we walked down to the Cooks River to flick SPs and Henry (2 year old) could stick his new rod in the water... He doesnt get fishing yetî—. It was beautiful on the jetty, the kids were having ball and my 6 year old daughter was even casting... Not bad. Anyway we flicked plastics with not much luck. The kids loved it... Even ch7 news came and filmed us for their fathers day report!!! Unfortunately just after they left I picked up this 50 plus cm flattie! Possibly the biggest fish I have ever caught and my first on SPs (a 2in pumpkin seed minnow). Happy Fathers day raiders!
