ASF Fishing Thread - The Angler's Paradise!!

I just watched a show on Fox called "Extreme fishing with Robson Green". What a freakin' loser. How does a knob like that manage to travel the world being a twat and get it syndicated on worldwide pay tv?. I doubt he's ever held a fishing rod in his life, and he screamed like a girl when some of his helpers finally managed to help the idiot hook a fish.
 
Went out sydney harbour jigging on Sunday.. approx 3kms of the North head.. picked up a 1m blue fin tuna... had a dolphin give it a few wacks with it nose about 2m from the boat.. didnt bite it but damb exciting ... Fantastic opportunity to shoot out and see some marine life within 20mins of the harbour if you live in Sydney ..
 
I believe soft plastics are very good for flathead as the action generally recommended for them has them bouncing along the bottom.
 
Anyone doing some fishing now summer is here ??

Hoping to hit Browns Mountain on the weekend if I cant get some good weather with now wind .. Fingers Crossed ..

Went out in Sydney Harbour last weekend and there were tons of Taylor and Salmon jumping and herding a big bait ball of whitebait just near sow and pigs.. easy catch with a lure.. picked up about 6 for bait on the way out .. Didnt catch much else..

Is there any Yellowfin Tuna or Marlin arround (off Sydney) at the moment?

Depends how far off you want to go..

I believe with the warmer water there is..

Picked up either a blue fin or long tail tuna about 5km of Sydney heads about three weeks ago on a jig .. (didnt get it in the boat)..

I think if you head to browns you can pick up a mixed bag..
 
went out last week outside port stephens (NSW). Absolutly perfect day apart from the 20,000 on-edge tourists from sydney clogging up shoal bay with their soft-roaders!
caught ~dozen nice flathead. 20 others thrown back (30-32.5cm:banghead:). caught using slimeys on the bottom in about 40m of water straight outside the heads.

local paper said 3 marlin were tagged off port stephens last weeked.
 
Whether out of Sydney harbour has been really poor last few weeks since before Christmas.. Should be looking better from next week on I hope ... (Not worried about the rain but the wind which is the inhibiting factor for trailerboat game fishing ..) ..
 
Awesome effort jigging a tuna. HAven't heard of that doen in NZ yet. Had 3 days in the tutukaka/poor knights region here in NZ. Got a few albacore and saw 3 free jumping marlin for 500kms travelled. Still early in the season yet though and the water is just starting to warm up nicely. Biggest stripey taken so far up here has been ~140kgs and there have been a few Blues caught (and a few more lost...:)).
Tight lines.
 
We just had the Todd river flowing here in Alice, if you chucked a line in you could of caught a Green can or maybe a silver pillow...hahahhaa

:p:
 
just bought a Daiwa Saltiga Dogfight & a Jigging Master Power Stick 500 ...
on the way from the states as we speak .. best rod & reel in the world (IMO) no more excuses now.. all i need now is to catch a fish !
 
Fisheries W.A. has now introduced a fishing licence for recreational fishing PLUS it is now required to have a release weight on board PLUS the limits of catch have been reduced to a point that it hardly makes it worthwhile anymore. :banghead: But this one does !:eek:

I can assure you the delectation is to be savoured with a lovely bottle of white. A piece of fresh fillet, simply grilled or pan fried with a touch of sea salt, white pepper and a generous squeeze of lemon juice is manna from heaven.
 
This one hurt ! Just a little bit. Tried to rip it out but the barb got stuck on a bit of gristle ! Hospital emergency room and 3 stitches later. Fish 1 .. Trainman 0 :mad:

LOL ......

Glad it isnt just me then ..........

i got one through the skin between thumb and forefinger ...... went to the doc and he laughed at me!!

Had a tailor bite on my finger once nearly took off the top ..... severed part of it actually ... Doc laughed at me then too

What is it with Doctors up here :D
 
Funnily enough I had the whole emergency room in stitches (metaphorically speaking) ... they have no bedside manner and made great jest at my misfortune. One of the attending nurses was actually wearing one of my mabe' pearl necklaces so once I pointed this out to her the mood became a lot more professional !! :cautious:
