    Thanks mate. My pleasure. BTW. What I have shared so far is my Tier 2 freshwater fishing spots. I have some Tier 1 freshwater fishing spots that are much better but those will remain secret for the foreseeable future.

    Here is the third video report of the series. Once again I was fishing between spots #2 and #3 as shown in the map at top of this thread:

    My pleasure

    Yep, it was. Looks like there is good supply of food in this area.

    As promised, here is my first fishing report video from Molonglo River in Canberra. This video report shows a 62cm Murray Cod being caught from spot #4 as shown in the map in the previous post above.

    Hello All, Starting a new thread as I would like to share some of my good fishing spots in Molonglo River, Canberra. The spots shown in the attached image below are not easy to reach but that's exactly what makes them such good fishing spots. I have been fishing in this area a while now and will post some of my fishing reports from this area over the next few days. Stay tuned!

    Hello All, After few months of successful fishing in Durras North, I have now decided to spend some time fishing in Tathra. If you have not seen my fishing reports from Durras North then you can see them here. Tathra seems very interesting because it seems fairly easy to catch Salmon above 50cm from the beach and there are some rocky areas on both ends of Tathra Beach that I have not explored yet. Drone fishing has been extremely difficult on Tathra Beach due very strong undercurrents that cause too much drift when you drone-drop the bait a few hundred meters out. I have caught 3 Salmon on Tathra Beach so far (2 above 50cm) and they were all caught by good old fashion manual casting. I plan to spend at least a few weeks if not months exploring fishing spots in Tathra. Stay tuned for video reports in this thread! Here is my first fishing report from Tathra:

    Another successful trip to Durras North Beach, this time with friends. My friends managed to break two rods, got one on camera. A little snapper had the strangest hookup, with one hook in its mouth and one in the tail. Have a look:

    Yep, the North end of Durras North Beach is very pretty. There is a small cave too, excellent spot for families with young kids to explore. The internet says: "The Durras cave is well known to the Durras community. It is amidst the headland on Durras Beach, north of Durras Lake. There were engravings in the cave, but they have worn away by the sand and wind. The cave was still being used during the post contact period. It had a hole through the roof so that the smoke campfires could escape from the cave" https://moruya.storylines.com.au/2016/10/12/durras-murramarang/ Yeah, hard fighting fish are often injured badly.

    I had to chuck it back as I could not confirm if it was legal to keep it since it looked too much like another species that is protected. Found out later on that it was Wirrah Cod. I doubt it survived the ordeal as it was badly injured.

    Durras North keeps on producing good results:

    My pleasure. Happy to be of help. The attached image shows some fishing spots on Durras North Beach. #1 is the best parking spot if you plan to fish from spots #2 and #4. #5 is the best parking spot when you plan to fish from spots #3 and #6. Note that #6 works best if you have a drone to get your bait past the surf. All other spots work well with manual casting too. Note that gutters and holes are dynamic so cast 10-20m on both sides of the shown spots.

    No mate, I always let them go as everyone tells me they are not good eating.

    Another successful trip to Durras North Beach:
  17. KhalidMSyed
    Yes it is. If you are ever on South Coast then fishing here is recommended.

    Sorry, took some time as I wanted to taste a new recipe. Please try this recipe and let me know what you think: https://www.recipeblog.info/2021/05/16/oven-baked-australian-salmon/
  20. KhalidMSyed
    Thanks mate. Well, the key to making Salmon more palatable is to bleed it thoroughly. Once cut up into small pieces, I soak the pieces in tap water for 20-30mins to ensure that any remaining blood is removed. We normally marinate Salmon pieces is spicy paste and then deep-fry in oil. The longer you marinate (in fridge) the better it gets.
  21. KhalidMSyed
    Yes, it is. But the results are better. I often catch something when other land based fishermen cannot catch anything just because I can get my bait further out using drone.

    The drop mechanism of my drone is home made and very simple. I bought one of these kitchen wall hooks: https://www.bunnings.com.au/permastik-white-kitchen-hooks-9-pack_p3950421 removed the metal hook from the plastic body and then used a cloth tape (easy to tear with hands) to affix the hook underneath the drone. When the drone is over the drop area, I just rotate the drone around 180 degrees and fly backwards and the rig drops. Simple! See the photo below. Since DJI drones have proximity sensors, you may have to disable the sensors otherwise the tape/hook might confuse the sensors.

    Thanks mate. Appreciated.

    Thanks. Beautiful place and the rocks are safe and easy to fish from.

    Another successful fishing trip to Durras North Beach. Caught 1x Snapper, 1x Salmon, 1x Banjo Shark and 1x Trevally. Some of the video got corrupted so no footage of the Shark.
