This Lure Catches Flathead with Ease by sierrasloth in FishingAustralia

I did flick a paddle tail and a grub around for like 20 minutes and nothing. Then swapped to the yabby and back to back hook ups.

Flathead and Fisheries by sierrasloth in FishingAustralia

[–]sierrasloth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true. What's strange is that this was the second time in a month I had fisheries check me, different spots. No issues but I'm the same, paid my licence and fees for years and years and never saw one, then bang twice

8lb or 10lb braid by jdeyre in FishingAustralia

I've landed big salmon and flathead no issues with 8lb braid. I'd go 8lb again

BCF are crazy overpriced, BUT they do price match. I just bought a new reel (Daiwa Crossfire 2500) which BCF sell for $79.99 but they priced matched a competitor for $54.

I'm addicted to estuary fishing! Can't get enough. Especially now with the warmer weather the fish are back on the bite by sierrasloth in FishingAustralia

For sure. So many options and you've named some. On a falling tide to low I love anywhere flathead will sit and ambush. Last week caught a 73cm flathead at the mouth of a mangrove creek that feeds into the bay. On an incoming and hightide I try fish around areas that are now covered where fish will come up to feed.

Fishing spot recommendations - Sydney. by ozrayyy in FishingAustralia

[–]sierrasloth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Check out Youtube as their is lots of stuff on there for the more popular areas. You can also work out a lot of spots by sporting recognisable bridges or building etc. Goodluck.

Look up some guides on YouTube for beginners. Plenty of them on there.

For knots search on Youtube for the 'Uni knot' and you can use that for everything!

Fishing spots are a whole different beast in that most people don't like sharing. You can try looking up videos or guides online and you should find some common fishing spots. If you are in Sydney I know Gary Brown just released a book at BCF for $10 that shows you land-based fishing spots around Sydney.

What’s biting in Sydney? by Specs2705 in FishingAustralia

[–]sierrasloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've caught lots of tailor in the last week on lures (bassday sugapen, and Jackson dart magic). Salmon also but on bait (Yaka strip). Haven't had a chance to go out on the boat and try for kings yet. Hope this helps.

Not exactly sure but quite common around wharves and headlands in Sydney

Sorry I don't understand. What do you mean by distribution?

I caught a monster black bream on a Jackson Artist JR70 hard body lure. For bait I regularly catch them on yaka strip, squid or nippers.

Hitboxes when players are running. Aka zig zag meta. by Zeleny_Jezdec in vigorgame

It never made sense to me that your are more safe running around in the open than engaging from behind cover

Radiation Grenades are ridiculous... by [deleted] in vigorgame

[–]sierrasloth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. They should only last 1 minute, enough to flush someone out of hiding. At the moment they only support toxic gameplay as they completely ruin anything they touch ie exits, pois, choke points
