Wetting the Line

[Alexander the Great]

You could always cheat and use a drone to cast a line out.

Seriously amazing stuff. Second one absolutely smashed it

Well, I was expecting to come in here and talk about getting another kind of line wet.
Kinda line I was thinking of starts at the lower back and ends around the front nether regions.

Thanks for getting my hopes up. Hope you all get snagged!

Garie beach.
Probably the best beach fishing spot in Sydney.

Hey guys I'm a mad keen fisherman, I live in Sydney west and I just drove to the sunshine coast to buy a boat last week , I almost drove 12 hours straight just to get back in time to watch the dogs game.. what a waste that was... I intend on forgetting this season with some serious fishing.. I need some live bait grounds in botany.. any ideas? I love botany because it only takes 30min to get there..

Exactly what i plan to do after the season is done.
Not sure about spots near botany but ive heard many good things about lilli pilli for solid live bait.

And to drive to qld for a boat i would def consider you mad for it.

The last time i went on a boat if had a few to drink the night before and git sea sick the next day. Worst feeling ever

Nah, take sir betram Stevens drive through the royal national park and turn off onto garie rd. It's a fully sealed rd.
I reckon it's Sydney's most underrated beach. Shits all over bondi, cronulla and the like. I've got some mates who are lifeguards there.

You need a 12ft rod, 20lb line, minimum 100g sinkers and 3/0-4/0 hooks. Minimum.

lilli Pilli aye ?? ok that's not to far.. port hacking aint bad in summer time either... anywhere specific??

Well it was worth the drive, I got it for a steal .. you never get these deals in Sydney....

Try the northen beaches if you don't wanna travel to far. North Narrabeen is a good spot near the lagoon. Gotta sus out the tides and moon phase if you wanna target jewies. As for samon & tailor, there's a shit load up that way. If you wanna travel south, try windang. Best times are weekdays as most places are packed out on weekends.

Windang is awesome nice quiet beach where not many people go & you get some good sized fish!!! Would definitely recommend it bout an hours drive from Bexley give or take!!

around where the dotted lines are, there should be a fair few yellow tail about. but be careful coz theres a channel there.

also be mindful of the tides, wind and chop around the bay. it can get nasty real quick if youre in a runabout/medium sized boat. time it so youre not fighting it on the way back.

good luck.

that's awesome thanks heaps .. yeah ive been caught in bad weather in the bay before and it sucks ... I'm not a boating expert, so please forgive my ignorance, but why should I stay clear of the channel?? I know I need to stay clear of the bomboras near bare island

all good bro.

i say be careful coz the ships pass right through there and theres a chance the guards will ask you to move along

Caught this port Jackson shark there on the weekend, and I got busted off a few times, I only took light gear, because I was really only testing out the new boat ..
