rocknev 2 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 spur of the moment thing , so me and bro hit the dirt and went for a wade in a spot we know for gar.just using a headlight torch each, we started walking around.. the small bugs flying around the light were incredible...couldnt see my bro's haed at one stage.. just a big ball of insects..walked to a couple of trees,and back picking up a few gar along the way.. did it again,and i heard a thud.. there was my bro face first on a rick island that wasnt there 10 mins ealier... thats how fast the tide was running out..silly bugger.seen a few squid out and about, and bro devised a noval wy to catch them... tried to justnet them like a gar, but thats easier said than done.. they just kept sccooting away.. si rather than chase them, just smash them on the head with the net, and then yank the net backwards.. worked rather well.ended up with 16 gar, just about all thumpers.r.. , which is now in my freezer, wating for an old mate from west aust, whos in town and im taking for a fish for snapper tmorrow might..heard a noise.. whats that?along came aussie;s finest in a friggen tank ....sure wasnt in stealth mode thats for sure.. hahaha..

If anyone wants to show a complete novise how one night I would be most gratefull.pretty easy matey.. nice clam still night, with no moon is best, headlight on, and walk around with a net.. they will find you.. put the net in front of them and they just swim in pretty much hahaha...ive had a couple of you beut underwater lights now, the first needed a car battery, and blew the bulb first time out, *( bulbs at woolies prety cheap) but also the wires broke off, after 2 trips..the 2nd was a AA battery led kind i got from bcf... that worked good, but corrosion got in real fast, and it also doesnt work anymore after about 6 trips... at around 60 a piece, once bitten twice shy...headlight torch is all i use now, but mate bought a specialised underwater light from a dive shop... he gaurenteed if it got water in he can have another to replace it..and as yet, not a problem, and hes snorkling underwater with it.

( ive got 4 brothers, all fish, cept for one bro, boats and rocks, and all on alveys and snyderglas or butterworth rods) my elder bro that broke his arm and shoulder blade on the rocks with me, too the boat out a couple of weeks ago... he cant pull the pick up, and 4 hrs on the water chasing whiting was enough for him.. the pain set in to his arm, so hes still not right yet.
