Quite the reverse J85!!

Deep and SLOW

Just thought I'd start off this interesting, to me anyway, thread

after a few questions asked about the biggest redfin caught in Aus.

www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/showthread.php?t=107068

This was what came up when I "Googled" "the biggest redfin in Australia"

Lots more on there to follow up on when I get time, interesting that the much touted English redfin is a big fish at i kg in weight!

You'd have to think that cos of the much warmer temperatures in Aus that our reddys would be way heavier than that. However, so far a 5 or 6 lb fish is a thumper. That's only 2 or 3 kgs!

Where are these 10 kg fish?

jason gave me a couple of presents..
hes a very talented bloke, who has hand carved some stuff out of opal.
he gave me a brilliant american indian head , and a magnificent hand carved tree, with a to scale perfect shark attached...

Wish I could say differently Tony but unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you, except no pity has been Relinquished to me.
Maybe we just all need a bit more of your wisdom

But hey, you dont want to get into the safest form of transportation thats your choice. Walking to the shops is less safe haha. Being near chez in a car is alot more risky.

No problems Jason, i'll try and come down at somestage when the weather is good, same its not the best time for kingies til january so you order the parts jim... put it this way.
i said BUY AN ALVEY 650C, and you bought a 650B...
so the vote of confidence aint that re assuring let me tell you.
and what happened ? you used it a few times, and now its gathering dust.
i will stick to driving thanks ta.

Howdy Guys,

Just a couple of quick questions re; Browns Beach on YP, looking to go camping/fishing there during my rec leave soon.

1/ Is Browns Beach 2WD accesible? Not the beach itself, but the campground and carpark for acess to the beach.

2/ Is the camping ground there any good? I have a 7x4 on-road camper trailer that Id be looking to take. Does anyone have any pics of the campgrounds? Are they far from the beach itself?

3/ Does anyone know what the current camping & park entry fees are?


Cheers guys, I cant seem to find some of this info on the net. Hows everyones trips over there been lately?

Macca

YUM!

excellent post Rick

they are back in sync then last season was weird and the biggies went missing.
cheers brenton

There's heaps of info on the net for fly-tying.
Figure out what species you want to target, and do a search for Flies for that particular fish, and I'm sure you will find a step by step tutorial to tying some.
They list hook sizes, materials used, colours, and usually with pics through the process.

This site has helped me a lot with Saltwater ideas..
Try on Fly
and they have a Species / Fly index

Also a gallery of fly pics..

Good luck.

done real well at parsons. prefer it to waits, normally less crowd due to the walk down. have caught good mullet and yellowfin in summer and decent salmon in winter. also heard of sharks, mullies and snapper!!!
used to be a reef in the middle but last time i was there it was covered!

Hi some quick responses to your questions.

1.it's never too late. legislation can be altered/repealed if their is enough political will. that political will, can come from a govt. seeing that their are enough people prepared to give their vote to some body who can sit at the table and discuss preferences. this is how this green inspired legislation came about.

1.no smoke screen. i am a second generation proud south aussie who is sick of over government and radical lobby groups running my life and ruining my lifestyle. i have realised that the only way to stop the rot is to get political. it's all about votes, they are political tender and this legislation is purely political.

a.metro marine environment can be hopefully recovered by slowing the flow of polluted stormwater rushing into our gulfs (wetland filters), moving desal plants to an area than has a strong enough tidal flow to mix the hyper-saline water and redirecting sewer outfall discharge to vineyards, woodlots, ovals/sporting complexes etc.

b.this issue needs more scientific research and needs the govt. to be more proactive. I'm sorry I don't have a good enough knowledge of caulerpa taxifolia, to offer an informed opinion

great post as usual rick and grteat photos but really,, wheres the rest of them ya slacking of...

that weed looks thick in some places would play havock with the outboard id imagine..

great looking camping spot was it a caravan park or a national park,only wondering cos my boys love the roos bouncing around and would love to camp with them......

Those bugs were the first packet of SPs I ever bought, sold to me by a bloke in the tackleshop when I said after reddies and bream.

2 of these caught last week along with plenty of redfin.



Anyone had luck using them across the surface? I've caught reddies in shallow water, but not much else, tho looking at Squidgey DVDs it seems bream don't mind them paddled back on a weightless jig head
