  1. Yeah cheers thanks yeah catch a lot of different species off the rocks we also hooked up to a big stingray and big wobbegong both released and a big tailor that bite through my leader as I brought up the rocks and feel back into the water was bummed about that but overall had a good day. Always losing grouper and other species as well might have to use heavier mainline
  2. Caught the first fish on fresh yellowtail off the rocks never seen or caught a fish like this in my life decent sized but not massive put it back to grow bigger and was unsure of eating quality ( after some research I believe this fish is a yellowbanded Wirrah or Acanthistius cinctus ) also caught a scorpion fish I believe but wasn’t certain and also heard they are venomous and didn’t wanna risk getting an injury trying to fillet it so I put it back. Looks small in photo but was quite decently sized caught on yellowtail off the rocks as well
  3. You’ve Been catching a lot of good fish as of late and that jewfish is no exception absolute beauty of a fish good job on catching and landing him. those tailor would be good fun to been getting onto a few myself recently. Your reports now are definitely better than the reports from last year you get that with experience and trying new spots I guess. Great work Hamish.
  4. Cheers thanks for all the advice everyone. I'll try live yellowtail with my mates like @AUS-BNE-FISHO and @mzaakir suggested. And try plastics like others suggested when i'm fishing by myself as my mates have just started fishing they need to get the basics down pat first such as quick and fast knots and good bait presentation. I'll go light at first for lures and see how i go like @Noah Fitzpatrick said i'll use my atomic arrows estuary rod paired with a 2500 ci4+ with 14lb leader and see how that goes. @ellicat Thanks for the video i'll save it and give it a watch. Cheers thanks to everyone for all the advice should help my chances on getting a decent Jewie.
  5. Was wondering if anyone knows how to consistently catch Jewfish or kingfish off breakwalls or just a few tips. Me and my mates are using the same setup a 750 Penn Spinfisher matched to a 6-8kg 8 foot fiberglass rod. Reels have a few hundred metres of bright 20lb green mono i usually tie this to a running sinker rig with a swivel and use clear 70lb mono for leader. Not sure if this is overkill but there is a lot of structure and hazards in the water so i want to be safe. Been using freshly caught yellowtail or whole frozen pilchards as bait. I'm not sure if this is the best tatic for jewfish and kingfish but giving it a go. Any tips or advice appreciated. my mate managed to catch a small jewfish on sunset the other night but that was it. We kept getting baited by what i presume to be pesky bream and left shortly after as we fished all day on lighter setups for bream/trevally and also baitfish. 45cm jewfish caught on a whole pilchard using the running sinker rig.
  6. Stopped fishing for awhile because of work/school and everything else.Now my mates have their Ps and soon myself. Started fishing pretty regularly. Fortunately i haven't lost any knowledge or skill and have been getting onto some good fish while teaching my mates.Tried beach and rock fishing for the first time yesterday with a new bait rod setup 8 foot fiberglass rod matched with a 750 Penn reel spooled with roughly 400m of 20lb mono and landed some solid fish. caught these two a bit back and was looking for an offical species name rather then just calling them Rock cod or Trevally. PS. Good to see this forum hasn't died as its very useful and everyones pretty good.
  7. Not a bad session considering the conditions nice GT.
  8. yeah wiping down reels/rods with a damp cloth after each day is good spraying some silicone spray on the line keeps it in good nic braid mono or leader is fine with silicone spray. spraying some WD40 on a cloth and wiping down reels and rods is a good idea if you've been fishing in heavy saltwater never spray WD40 or anything like that directly on to a reel. Other then that if you have rod and reel covers use them and always make sure you reels are well greased and oiled
  9. id give it a try considering how cheap it is . Ive tried a few different braids and have always came back to Daiwa J braid x8 or Tasline both of these braids are great but are fairly pricey. The price of Tasline is scary but worth it for bigger setups
  10. Herring sounds similar to Herron
  11. Giant herring? also known as lady fish
  12. @riceoppa I know this is unrelated to the topic but that's a really impressive planche in your profile picture I can only hold the tuck planche for 5 seconds
  13. Yeah that's a good idea I used to find cheap reels at local markets and used them for practice as well as older reels that were in bad condition. Doing that and doing a lot of research helped me a lot im pretty confident with reels now I have ruined a few cheap reels in the process but you learn from your mistakes. Awhile back I bought a used Stradic Ci4+FB and it had a few minor issues I opened up the whole reel greased the gears and oiled the bearings as well I removed sand and salt in the reel and replaced a worn bushing with a ball bearing. The reel was in great condition just had been misused a bit. I use that reel pretty regularly now and its great if I didn't service that reel it would be a different story so its a handy skill to have. Some tips when oiling or greasing reels make sure you use the right type of oils and greases certain reels mainly Daiwa and Shimano need certain type oils/grease and require a specific product to do so Take your time and try not force things when taking reels apart keep everything in order as you take it apart so its less confusing when you put it back together hope that helps
