   I should’ve learned from HLS… With a craving for a days fishing, i succumbed to doing something I swore I’d never do… I heard there was a hot bite of carp on in Lake Burley Griffin. As you two gentlemen both know, there is not enough nature in the world, not enough words in book, not enough pictures in FHM to make carp fishing worthwhile… 6 hours, 3 tins of corn, and not a bite. Although in all honesty, i’m not sure I wanted one.

   port stephens is the place for really big fish,i had agood bream halfway aboard the other day when the air ways turned blue with bad words.i had to let the bream go again because the water level dropped so far that all the charter boats had gone aground,probably too tough to eat anyhow.

   My mate learnt a good lesson last week, never run on the rocks! A few of my mates and myself were fishing a secret little jewie hole in sawtell and one of my mates somehow managed to catch one before me and my other mate picked it up, but it slipped out of his hands and down the rocks, so stupidly he decided to run after it not realising the rocks were very slippery and slipped and landed real hard on his back. He winded himself pretty bad and layed in bed the rest of the day. The day after that he called my mate up and asked him if he could take him to hospital cause he was in alot of pain so he did. He had to get a urine test and it showed he had blood in his pee and the doctor said to rest up for a few days. He ended up missing out on few good days fishing, that’ll teach him.

   SO. In Darwin, take my boat 70 klicks to the Blue Holes catch nothing. Heading back, huge mackerel jumping out of the water, troll for hours, nothing. Continue heading back and come across a big school of tuna, throw lures at them, nothing. Spot a little bommie on the sounder 200 meteres off the boat ramp, cleaned up on reefies. Wife is trying to work out why I want to shoot a hole in the bottom of the boat………..

   Too windy in Darwin last weekend to do much offshore. Barra a bit quiet as well due to the cooler water temperatures. Mackerel and Tuna in numbers around bommies in the top end with live baits and trolling producing good fish.

   Good reef fish being caught for those brave enough to go outside the harbour in the wind.

   This weekend looks better as far as weather goes but tides are a bit springish so the pelagics may be the stars of the weekend. East Point and the 6 mile grounds for Tuna and good Macks at Mack attack off Lee Point and also the pinnacles and Lorna shoals.

   One of the best things to do in winter is to sneak around the yachts moored on Lake macquarie fishing for bream.
   Its allways sheltered there somewhere, the right day will see a bag of nice bream for a feed and its never too far from a watering hole somewhere around the lake.
   Sometimes the fun starts if a surprise jewie or flathead takes the bait, but usually you can get a feed and a bit of fun.

   the muddy Dawson River at Moura Central Qld has plenty of big barra, saratoga and yellowbelly and you can always get a catfish

    g’day names andrew I’m 16 and have been in a boat since I was 6 months old and have loved it ever since. My greatest fishing trip’s I have ever been on is the one my Dad and I take every year for the past four year’s up just past Weipa to the penny father river. my Dad and I camp there for three weeks at a time and love every minute of it sometimes the old woman (my Mum) will come up she isn’t as enthusiastic as the old man (Dad) and I but she try’s. I have pictures or all the trips (if you are interested I can post my photo’s to you) the barramundi up there grow to a good size we get close to the meter mark every year but still haven’t cracked it yet we have hooked them but they are too smart for me. The first year my dad took me up there we found a tree that held some big fish, we could not us rods because the drag and rods could not hold up against the fish first pull and we where snagged ever time we tried to us the rods, in the end we had to go to hand lines, by the end of the first day on that tree I had fishing line cuts almost at the bone. We did get some good fish off it I got 2 barra at 87cm each. We met a guy up there that we became mates with and found out that he was taking a home video of his hole trip and on a few occasions I went out in his boat and he would come out in our boat, one time he did we were just going lure fishing up the back of a river and I seen a school of queen-fish going past so I threw my lure at them but before I could ever do the first twitch there was a beauty of a barra on it I have that on video, I made a fool of myself with some of the comets I say but it’s good for a laugh ( I can post that to you as well if you would like). We also have some videos of my shark fishing off the beach using the anchor rope getting dragged down to the water, this is are good for a laugh as well I can post then as well. On this year’s trip I nearly got the meter barra on a hand line, she was 97cm. I haven’t been able to stay up there for as long as I normally would because of schooling and work but it’s good in some ways I fly up and the camp is all set up ready and I then fly out so I don’t have to pack anything up and I don’t have to sit in a car for 16 hour, but I do have to wash it all when the oldies (Dad & Mum) get back so I do pay for it in a way, but it is a small price to pay for a week or two in heaven. I also do a bit of spear fishing and deep water fish (60 to 80 meters) but that is another story.

    Headed out today(25/1/10) for a spot of Mako fishing off Low Head.We Had a later start after finishing night shift we got on the water by 8:45 put the pot out.It was very fishy looking with bait busting up every where we done a spot of bottom bashing for nil return. Then at 11am the rod out back started to click slowly. Then within a couple of minutes when had lost a good couple of hundred meters of line with out even seeing culprit this was his one and only show of speed.It then towed us for 3 and a half miles and 3 a half hours and staying down deep and a much reluctant change on the rod .When we finally get colour but it was not the big blue shape we had hoped for it was black a very big very angry Great White Shark after coming up and putting a big set of fang marks in the transom showing us his size. We take some video and photos and he was released like nothing had happened.No Mako but needless to say three very happy boys.
