Unless you write a topic with some decent questions and not just a one sentence statement I highly doubt you are going to get a reasonable response.

Before you post, think about what you know about catching a certain species and then post questions to improve your knowledge.

For example: "Hi all,

I've been doing a fair bit of landbased fishing and wanted to venture into something a bit more fun.
I'm looking to catch some Yellowtail Kingfish off the land as I do not have a boat.

Has anyone had any success and can recommend an area for me to try?? Also, what should I look for when trying to target Kingfish?

I understand that people with boats troll for them with lures. I also understand that one of their favourite baits is a live Yakka. How can I catch these Yakkas?? What hooks should I use??

Any help would be appreciated.

Matt"

Have a sneaky look around Point Henry pier, it would be worth trolling some lures around there and also the best bait would be ( I can't tell you what the best bait would be but I would use something with a beak on them, that are long and slim :doh1: )
