  1. Nice job mate, how is the Haswing Cayman going, I'm thinking about getting one for my Quintrex 420 Busta. Thanks
  2. I'll be looking out out for the next social , in the mean while I'll be having a crack this week end.
  3. Very good guys, perfect day , perfect company. How does one get started fishing for fish like that with lures. Looks like it's a very clean way of fishing. Angelvic
  4. We got a warning from the security guy and we were no where near the yellow markers.
  5. I agree with the dpi site , but the map at the boat ramp paints a different picture.??
  6. Isn't it illegal to fish in that area . The map at the boat ramp clearly shows the prohibited area.
  7. Thanks for your and the rest of the Raiders coments, I look at the above mentioned spots , but instesd of going there directly I scan any drop off on the way. If it holds bait I'll give it a go and usually the bigger predators are not far behind. As for the high expectations from the wife, yep your right, but in saying that we release most of the Mulloway as they are a magical fish to catch only once.
  8. Stop the Bus , Use to drive the Buses 4 years ago, now in a different role in the organisation.
  9. Well fellow Raiders this is a very late report, but you know how life can get very busy these days. This was around mid Feb. The old saying "good things come to those who wait" couldn't be further from the truth. Now it's not everytime I have an opportunity to fish with the bride, but I reckon she's a good omen. How many times have I tried to hook up to a decent Jewie and managed nil or Salmon or even big Tailer, now don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with the above mentioned , but when your live yakka or live squid gets taken by these thieves instead of the Holly Grail, well your spirit is dampened. Anyway on this particular day I had a good feeling, the tide was high at 7am, 2 days before new moon,7km NW winds oh yer the wife in company. As we made our way to the bait grounds, we manage to find Yellow Tail in an area where it drops down from 4mts to 8mts with bigger fish holding close. We managed to drift at this location and berley with mashed up bread and pillies, within 15minutes we had a dozen or so. With Squid caught the day before and enough live bait we set out to anchor up wind and drift back on the spot mininizing noise. By now it was 6:15 am, we put out 4 rods at different depths and distance. At approx 6:45 the lightly waited yakka started to vibrate, I gentley grab the rod wait 10 seconds and start to lift the rod, the fish loads the rod and takes its first run. I let it have it's way before it took about 50 meters of line when it started to ease back. I started to reel some line back when the head shakes started. I then knew that this could be my PB. The fish took another run, but this time it was short. 1O minutes later the unmistakable silver/purple flash appeared, I leaned over put my hand under the gills and she was onboard. Looked at the misses and said "What do ya reckon love" She replied " well it's about time you got one" . The fish went 99 cm and just shy of 10kg, What a day in the Bay.
  10. Hi fellow Raider, Went out to the FADS on Friday 20th, plenty undersize Dollies and heaps of Dolphins. I think you might be right about the number of Dolphins. Managed a 10kg Dollie. Trolled out wide for nothing, couldnt find the tempreture change or bait schools.Still had a great time anyway.
  11. Hi mate, I found that if you contact Lowrance in Sydney they will guide you through the set up. when you give them a call make shore that your in front of your unit.
  12. Mate , you can try middle ground in Botany Bay between 630am to 900am for bream and whitting.You must berley and use live nippers and fresh prawns.I've been fishing once a week usually with top catches.Then you can try the drop off in front of the Novetel for the run out tide for stud whiting.
  13. Hi mate , I went out last Friday, high tide was 9:30 am. Started fishing 6am at middle ground. The secret is berley, yabbies and fresh prawns , not frozen. A bean sinker size 2, 1mt fluro carbon 8lb,size 4 hook and 6lb main line. Stop fishing at 11am for 5 snappers at 33cm, 6 bream to 35 cm , 4 trev to 30cm and 1 founder 40cm. that was a normal outing , some times it's double that. Move around 50 mts in the area if you don't get fish in 30 minutes. Keep the burley going, it's the most important factor of the equation. TRUST ME. Good luck and Tight Lines.
