Great report. Top photos. Well done.

I have owed two Stradic's. Never had a problem. These days I use Penn. The past 2 years their reels have got a lot better. ( IMO )

School free day. End of their Holidays. Arrived around sunrise. Top morning. One of the easiest places to go rock fishing. First up a nice drummer ( Released ) The boys caught 2 tailor. I caught two nice snapper 45cm & 48cm. The boys caught 2 flathead & another tailor. They were happy. Enough for me for my return to the rocks. I tried out my new rod. Storm Gomoku 13ft. Casts very well. I had a Penn SpinfisherV 6000 reel on it. Good combo. Newport Arms for breakfast Lots of laughs. Cheers.

Hi All. Taking it easy. Rocks & Beach fishing can come later. Luderick & Bream were the go. Arrived after sunrise, bit on the cool side. Few people about. Forgot it was still school holidays. Very quiet. Caught 3 blackfish in over an hour. Size 32 to 34 cm. I think it may be too early for blackfish. But the burley seemed to work. Moved to south side of the channel near the bridge for some bream. Caught 2 nice bream around 34cm. Puppy was happy. Moved on the crowds were starting to arrive. Had two rods with me. Ugly Stik Carbon with a Kastking Magenta 3000reel. great set up. Wilson Magenta 8' rod for those who remember with a Daiwa Legalis 3000 reel. Bait was green weed & Aussie cooked prawns. Nice to be back fishing. Cheers.

I take two rods wherever I go. On the rocks or the beach you need two. One for bait & one for lures. If you are interested in Samaki. The one to buy is the Samaki Zing Gen3 10'6'' 12-25 lb. Top rod. They also have a 12ft. Just makes life easier. Cheers.

Mate. Have a look at the Penn Prevail 2 range. Great rods for the rocks. I have a 10ft rod. Penn slammer 4500hs. Top reel. I use both off the rocks. Good luck.

Top story. You can't beat Snyder rods.

Hi All. Got sick of my GP telling me I can't go fishing. Rang my Specialist earlier in the week. I saw her yesterday. All clear to go in a week's time. After that I decided to buy some new lures. I have heaps, but a few more will not matter. I ended up looking at surf rods. I picked up a Storm Gomoku 13ft 3pce 12-20kg rod. Nice rod. I have read some good reports on these rods. They have a Penn Prevail blank. Retail $209.00. I went home did some more research. 13ft would be great for the beach. These rods cast big lures. I don't need 12-20kg rating. But you never know. The rod weighs 12lbs. When I caught some Kingie's recently my 10ft 8-12kg rod struggled a bit. Found one on the Net for $170.00. Cheers.

When I was very young I use to go to Watsons Bay in Sydney to see the shark weigh in every Sunday. It was a part of life in those days. Turned me off sharks forever. Never caught one & don't want to. I remember I was on holidays at Kierra Beach ( QLD ) riding my surfboard. 30 minutes later a fisherman caught a hammer head off the beach. Cheers.

@mzaakir There are some wild rock places down here. I noticed some guys are using 14ft rods on the difficult spots. Cheers.

@Nrgised Most of the guys down here have 12ft rods. Nothing less than 10ft. I always take two rods when I am rock or beach fishing. The most popular reel is a 5000. Cheers.

I fish in NSW. Travel around to various places. I find a longer rod better than a shorter rod. Some of the places I go you need a longer rod. Apart from the rods I mentioned I have a 12ft 6-12kg which comes in handy sometimes. I mainly use it for beach fishing. Most of the guys here use braid. I use a good quality Mono line. 12,15, & 20lb. Never had a problem. Fishing is about fun, relaxation & experimenting with new gear. Cheers.

Top story. Super photo. Can't beat catching Snapper.

Welcome to the Forum. I do a lot of rock fishing. I have two rods I use. 10FT Penn Prevail 8-15kg. I use a 5000 spin reel. 11FT Dawia over there 110H. light weight rod & very strong. Top rod for spinning lures. I use a Penn Slammer 4500hs reel or a Penn Conflict 5000 reel. I also use various baits & circle hooks Cheers.

Great rod. Well done

Hi All, Went to the Doctor to try & get a clearance to go fishing. Forget it was the answer. No rock or beach fishing. Came home, went to use my printer. Died. Bought a new printer. Wouldn't work. I went to my friendly computer guy, with my printer & computer. Computer was history, not worth fixing. New computer. My Puppy is looking at me. Where is my Bream ? Cheers.

Top haul. Super photos. Great to see you are back.

All good advise above. We all have bad days. Make sure you use scent. I put scent on everything, including lures.

Well done !

Top Haul. Well done.
