  1. Sounds like a decent session despite the rain, but I can't see the pics
  2. Nice work on the fish Ray. Definitely hope you had some spare brekky.
  3. Second one, first full day of holidays is Saturday, already can't wait!
  4. Thanks KM, fair enough, they taste good! Cheers Charlie. Saturday 25th of November I think.
  5. Just a couple Rapala Shadow Rap Shads and a Berkley lure too, which were priced well. Lots and lots of fishing rods as well for decent prices, but I didn't buy any.
  6. Did anyone else go to the Fishing R Us Roadshow thats been on this Friday/weekend? I went and picked up a couple of new lures, would be interested to hear what anyone got if they went? Cheers Hamish
  7. Thanks Brett. Thanks Sylvathorn. Cheers mangajack, definitely glad I got it in. Thanks Ray. Cheers Jono, that's a good question, haha. Thanks Doughnuts. Thanks Neil, it's mostly from all the cast netting I did. Hopefully I'll be able to catch a couple more after this, thanks Steve.
  8. Thanks Brian. Rod should be fine as long as it doesn’t get any more damage.

  10. Hi all, I snuck out for a quick flick this morning in the river, hoping for something decent. The morning didn't start off great as I slept in, but I still managed to ride and arrive at the spot of choice by six. With the tide still running out, I was hopeful of a few baitfish, but I could hardly scrape together enough to continuously fish. Eventually I saw something of interest, a flathead lie. Maybe I will try flicking some lures around here the next time I'm fishing at high tide. I also caught a small flathead and flounder in the net, so clearly some more bottom dwelling fish get around here. https://lensdump.com/i/qGI3zP Flathead Lie As I continued to grind away for livebait, I saw someone drive by with a fully decked out lure fishing boat, which would be pretty cool to have. I didn't see him catch anything when he was fishing nearby though. Things just seemed to get worse for me though, as I managed to rip a couple of holes in my net that will need to be stitched to fix up. All my livies also kept seeming to get pickered but I never saw any bites. After about one and a half hours of fishing for absolutely nothing, I was out of bait and energy. I sorted all my gear out and had a drink, before getting back to netting. Here, I was lucky enough to net a nice size bony bream, which I chucked out on a 4/o circle hook pinned through the nose. I got back to the cast netting, and with no other rods out things weren't looking good... But then, I saw my rod get a couple of distinct hits before buckling over. I jogged back and as the fish went for another long run, I tightened my drag and the fight began. It wasn't long before more line was peeling off of my spool, and I was starting to get a bit nervous as the fish was running dangerously close to a very snaggy rocky ledge. Luckily, I managed to turn its head, and it slowly started to come back towards me. A few more cranks and I could see my sinker, then swivel... Sure enough, it was what I wanted! But the fight wasn't over yet, as the thready shot back down into the depths. After about 3 more minutes of fighting with some screaming runs on my 4000 reel, I managed to bend over and grab the fish in the mouth, landing it successfully. Nice. I got a walker to take a couple pics for me, before venting and successfully releasing the fish. The thready came in between 105-110cm, I don't know for sure as I didn't have it perfectly aligned on the brag mat. Although not quite a new PB, still a solid fish, and my first in ages. https://lensdump.com/i/qGIsCZ Thready It was only about 8:15AM when I had that all sorted, so I netted and fished for a bit longer, catching one catfish, before riding home. On the way home, one of my rods fell through the floor of my bike buggy, and some pipes scratched another one of my rods up pretty bad, but at least I caught that thready. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed. I probably won't be able to go fishing for a few weeks now because of school, so it was a good way to finish up.

  11. What lures have you been using at Hayes? I or my mates normally catch something when we go fishing with small paddletails or grubs.
  12. Try Hays Inlet on low tide with soft plastics for flatties.
  13. Looks great Huxstang, I look forward to hearing about your fishing in it.
  14. Good luck Bob, hope you clean up. Will be excited to see all of your catches.
  15. Thanks @Sylvathorn, I just I wish I could catch a few more fish haha. Cheers Neil, fingers crossed.
  16. Thanks guys, yep, better than not going fishing at all.
  17. Hi all, Yesterday morning I rode my bike to a local spot to try my luck for some fish. I was there by 5:30AM, and two people were already there fishing. They'd had no luck, and hadn't caught many livies after. Luckily, after I setup a few rods with dead prawn, I managed to get some decent livebaits - enough to start fishing. After pulling in two catties things were looking ultra quiet, with hardly any bites on my livebaits. I kept using some dead prawns too, but these brought me no luck. At about 7:30AM, the others fishing left, so I had the spot all to myself. It was pretty relaxing, and after having some more success with the bait I decided I would stop cast netting for the morning. As the tide continued to rise, I was hoping for a threadfin, but I was only rewarded with two snags in a hole that is out the front from the spot. This was pretty disappointing, but from the way everything was going it didn't look like a fishy morning. I had to be home by 11AM, so once it was about 9:50 I started packing up. It was almost tide change, and I still hadn't gotten any bites on live mullet or bony bream. Overall, it was a quiet morning but nice to get out of the house to go for a flick. Hopefully next weekend I'll be more successful. Stats: Tide: 4:00AM, .2M, Low, 10:10PM, 2M, High. Moon Phase: About 1%, New Moon. Air Pressure: 1012 Humidity: 60% Fish Caught: Couple of catfish. Tackle Used: Shimano Stradic on Shimano Raider, Shimano Symetre on Sentire Rod, Shimano Baitrunner on Kmart Rod, Okuma Coronado CDX on Silstar Crystal Powertip Rod. 15, 20 and 30 pound braid mainlines. 50 pound traces, size 3 snapper sinkers, 4/o and 6/o circle hooks, small barrel swivels. Overall Success Rate: 25%, nice to get out of the house. Cheers Hamish
