Looks like theres some good days coming up over the next couple of weeks has anyone got plans for heading out for a fish? Maybe some offshore tailor fishing or quality table fish are on the cards. Good to get out in winter, most of us wont let days like this keep us at home. :)

hey,,,,anyone fishing tonight above the river?? i mioght head down to trigg around 8? anyone keen??

here is one for the peoples  i can remember catching  cobbler in  the truck loads not so long ago but dont seam to see or hear about them thase days   im thinking thay be a good catch for you blokes  and  ladys that like  flicking the sp,s around  anyone been catching them  ??????????

OK here is a question for the brim boys and girls , if flurocarbon is clear and fish are unable to see it why do you go down to say 4 pound fluro if the fish are finicky / shy surely if fish can't see it what does it matter if you use 4 , 6 ,8 10 or 20 lb leader .

I can't see what the diff 4 pound would have over say 10 pound if flurocarbon is what they all say it is ?????

 went to the cass today  picked up 9 bream all under 25 cm and  set free to fight agen still fun but 

I tried a few weeks ago, for the first time, light line fishing. The line was 6lb Yamatoyo braid but for me light can be anything under 20lb...

Anyway, I was very surprised how hard it is to fish with line this fine and how easily it can get knots when casting. Had a few nightmarish tangles where I've had to put it down and substitute with the heavier barra gear. The biggest thing for me was not being able to cast the leader knot through the guides... I learned this the hard way.

Does anyone have any tips to make casting light line easier and stress free? The reel I am using is a Penn Affinity 1000, courtesy of the Shizz

hey all i think there should be another admin or 2 so that ppl (or bots) like adrienne39 are banned or removed wat do you guys think?

Just wondering if anyone has brought anything through this site? Must be the cheaspest prices i have ever seen.....bluddy cheap even when converted to aus dollars and add the frieght costs. Anyone????????

So... my mate just called me and reckons he just heard on the radio that a whale carcass has washed up somewhere near hillarys marina and that due to the really squally winds and weather,  authorities havnt had the chance to remove it yet...

His thoughts are, "Would this berley up the water? is it worth throwing a line out?"

So I said id put it up on here too... whats the general concencus when theres a carcass in the water regarding fishing conditions?

Called up MetallicSharky this morning and tried to suss out where he was going, he said he was going out on a boat with his mate...

anyway 10 mins later i got a msg saying plans had changed cos they lost the keys to the boat and he was just going down to this island in the river

So I went to tee up to meet with him and his mate and I got to ashfield and like, they were nowhere to be found... rang him up and the phone cut out mid conversation and then his phone must have gone out of range or something so I thought the bastids had ditched me! So I texted him and he said they were just ducking out to get more bait.. i thought it was all bullcrap so I just stayed and fished by myself....

Chucked an unweighted jellybean styled prawn out and within seconds of it drifting to the bottom, I was hooked up.... bream ran for a snag, i tightened my drag (because it was 10lb line due to my rack raider snapping on the weekend i was using my daiwa cy and tierra with just a light 6lb flurocarbon leader) and yeah then it started to go the opposite direction for a tree stump then I pulled it in....

FINALLY, IVE LANDED A FISH IN 2 WEEKS OF RIVER FISHING TRYING TO GET THE BASTIDS!

Was a very clean approx 23cm bream.... very silver in colour? Thort that was strange...

Anyway, pulled 2 more tiny buggers in, like fishtank material and this boat rocks up... guess who!

Metallicsharky! hahah found his keys... so much for the fish though, I think thier boat engine spooked them...

I had a few more big tugs but didnt manage to land them and that was it for the day...

but im still happy, thanks sharky for sharing the spot... :) Much appreciated!
