the loomis rods i mentioned are around $400 mark just so you wont get a shock if you go see one.ive had mine for 8 years now.i got the dropshot rod 12lbs rod.the cheapest i found is at kyeemagh at bestic street.small shop but good service and probably the cheapest fishing gear in sydney

rock fishing rods for live baiting off the stones - 4

beach/surf fishing rods - 4

barra fishing rods - 5

squid/soft plastics jigging rods - 10

i said to my wife when we first met

" i go to work and i go fishing, than that's it. i don't do anything else. "

she agreed.

she is great, i can fish 8 days a week if i can only figure out what that eighth day is,

um......fisherday or hunterday or maybe piscatorialday ...... bugger it,

lets just call it FUNDAY and it should last 48 HOURS (8 tide changes)

ha ha ha ha



happy fishing

Went to Rushcutters Bay just before this big wet started, got one squid with a 3.5 orange jig (Yo Zuri), suprised to catch it at low tide.

The water clarity was fair. Have not been back due to the heavy rain. Any one else tried the harbour lately?

[Mickyd]

Not for the last week but got a beauty 33cm hood near Clovelly and 6 smaller ones on Tuesday.

[Costa]

Top effort Mickyd, it is great to see multiple catches. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup2:' />

Hi all, it has been a long time since I have seen any Ink!, looking at having a session this weekend, any feedback for the Sydney Harbour region would be greatly appreciated  :woot:

[Costa]

Tried a few spots last night, The Spit, Clifton Gardens and Balmoral baths, my squidding must be rusty, I had no success however other people caught 

squid on green luminous jigs - about 30cm in size. Good too see they are about :thumbsup2:

[Costa]

Hi All,

It has been a long time since my last inking, has anyone tried Sydney lately especially Nielsen Park to Camp cove????
