charlie888 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Cass, Your idea sounds good. I am open to suggestions. Ryan, How about the 26th..? Australia Day.? Scienceman, If the tide comes around 7 O'clock, then 5 will be good. Of course if people decide to come earlier, they can do so. Would you be able to help with the location .? Will need a location where we can also do bbq (preferably with bbq facility) and yet still plenty of fish.. And now, we will wait for any more interested people. Ryan, should we create a new thread for this..? or just wait for people to express their interest on this ..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmiccreepers Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 What about the weekend of 15th & 16th? Or the weekend after school goes back? Less people. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burek Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hmmm, sounds like a good idea! Count me in! I think we can maybe do some Rock fishing maybe at Bulli and surrounding areas? Seeing as theres gonna be a A.C.E bbq.. maybe we can change the place of the A.C.E Bbq to a place where we are going to go fishing and that has a bbq facility? Just a idea though...

katanaone Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 good idea... but lets keep it how it is as its already coming up soon and it would take alot of re-organising. anyways we can all hang out twice can't we! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3eyedfish Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Fishing + BBQ + Beer and Drinks .....mmmm wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I'm going to try and make it But be careful with rockfish, most people are not experience enough to be fishing off the rocks. Let make it safe for all to come alone. Let agree on a date very soon so people can start planing. Australia Day is good for me, no plans yet.

Teamsherman Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Just got back in from Windang, NSW with not a fish in sight. I did start out the night doing some prawning, not much luck there as its my first time. I got about 10 prawns but that was with a Dolphin lamp, i did get a proper prawning light today but it was too late in the afternoon to get hold of a battery to run it. I can see how with the better light i would have had a heap more success, but i'll leave that for next time. After that, i had a try with a fresh prawn and a line, didnt get one bite!!!! I think i'll do a bit more research on good locations for the area before i get back there. And also i think i will start saving for a boat, cause frankly, i think shore fishing within a hundred metre radius of sydney is officially dead!! Oh well, still plenty more spots to try and plenty more holiday time to try them in. Yibbida yibbida, thats all folks!!! Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 teamsherman, where abouts did you fish? i use to fish down there alot when i use to live there but i havent been down there for over 2 years now the live prawns are the best to use for fishing down there go on the bridge and try to put you line under the bridge for bream use the current if you can to get your line under the bridge if you want flatheads then try the near the midle where the water is about 1 meter deep try get your line as far as you can then wine your line in very slowly good luck next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3eyedfish Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Oh well Alan, Thats fishing for ya, sometimes something, sometimes nothing! well but u are right about the boat, cant compare shore fishing to boat fishing or even better deep sea (Guess we arent looking after our waters good enough) Good luck for next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novafishy Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 I just went to the jetty at Clifton Gardens last night, and man it was packed FULL of people fishing!!! it wasn't a really big jetty, and towards the end of the jetty, there were soo many people there, it would've been impossible to cast/drop your line without getting tangled. hardly saw anyone catch a fish either. i only got one massive bite, which i fought for a couple minutes, but lost it as it disappeared under the jetty. what a disappointment! would've really like to land it, as it was tugging the line like there was no tomorrow!

charlie888 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Back to our get-together-fishing. We have only 8 people interested (Scienceman, Cosmiccreepers, gianniz, katanaone, danielk, 3eyedfish, lucifer, and myself). So, if everyone is still up for it; we need to make some decisions: 1. Date & time I propose the Australia day (so people that works on saturday can still come) If the tides come around 6 or 7 o'clock, we can start from 5 o'clock till whenever.. 2. Fishing Spot. The idea of 2 hours driving to the central coast at early morning may not be appealing to everyone, so I suggest we choose a closer one. Unfortunately, I can not make any suggestion, as I have not been fishing for a while. So everyone, please put your suggestion forward. 3. Food & drinks BYO. 4. Transport Own transport, but if you do not have one. Let me know, I may be able to arrange something. 5. Fishing gears & bait BYO That's it for now.

Id love to come out but im really really over shore fishing in the sydney area lately. Id love to come out on someones boat if they have one that can fit the amount of people that are interested!! if not, can it fit just me??? lol...........nah really im serious, can it fit just me? hehehehe. Its all good, i know deep down no matter where we meet we wont even catch a cold, but hey, im willing to stand around and tell tales of the old days. What do you guys think of Bare Island near La Perouse? i wont be able to make it on Australia day but any other day at that location would be bonza. Cheers, Alan.

cosmiccreepers Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Can you fish in Lake Parramatta? If you can, it might be a good spot. Or somewhere along Parramatta River (can you tell I don't keep what I catch? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scienceman Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I do have a boat (here on the Central Coast). It is only 16ft so can only fish 2 other people comfortably. We would need a couple of more boats for everybody to get on the water. Also, I am not pushing for a CC location but would not be able to join in if it were in Sydney. Long travelling time and in my wifes opinion I already go fishing enough so was hoping to take the family along - which is why I suggested Woy Woy which is a family friendly location. We could avoid a strict start time and just make it anytime in the morning with a picnic at 1pm. That way the keen ones can come up early while those who like to sleep in can join later. Wed 26th will have a high tide at 9:46am which means that at Woy Woy it will be ~2 hours later at ~12pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianniz Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I don't mind travelling to central coast. I can go the day before and hire out a motel for a night. I can pick up 1 person as I have 2 seater car from blacktown region. Anyway keep me upto date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 If poeple has'nt got enough boats then we can always hire a boat from one of the boat sheds in Brooklyn (Hawkesbury River - exit off after Mooney Mooney bridge) The boats cost $89 (from memoery) for the day and $20 deposit (these boats only got 8hp engine so dont expect a speed boat). You dont need a licence to drive these boats, but i recommend someone who knows how to drive one to be the driver. I am one driver. The boats holds 6 people, thats less then $15 each There is a tackle shop there so you can buy your gear and bait I will be going with either 1 other (better half) or 3 others (better half freinds). So one boat is half full. Bare Lsland is ok. Didnt catch anything there last time i went. Good for the swimmers and snokers also. But it would be packed out in weekends and public hoildays. Very hard to find parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmiccreepers Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Guys we really need to pin down a date and time. I've just been asked to an Australia Day BBQ- I'm sure others are wanting to make plans for the day also. Cheers, Cassandra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bit Racer Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I'm not sure if I should share this, but what the heck, I don't fish anymore... Cape Banks/Cruwee Cove - La Perouse, the northern headland of Botany Bay. Turn left off main road into golf course, park the car before the gates of the firing/shooting range and walk down the track that heads to Cape Banks. Fish Cruwee Cove in a Southerly and big swell to get bucket fulls of big silver bream, the trevally but only at sunrise, after 9.00am head home because nothing else will bite. If you want to do some serious rock fishing (not for kids or novices) fish the other side facing the open ocean (rock plates may be required or fish off 20ft high cliff) for big tailor/aussie salmon, bonito during the winter with the float, sinker and ganged hooks rig but be prepared for snags and be careful when bringing the fish in. Flint and Steel Reef - Kuringai National Park Lots of *30cm* tailor around when you cast north of the reef into deep water, there is a channel right there in front of you. Need to go at sunrise though and down a national park walking track for like 35 minutes. I caught my largest monster 2.2Kg silver bream down there. Bit.
