scorpion 95 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks for all your comments guys. :)The spoons i use come from the U S. Very hard to locate them in Adelaide these days as there is very little demand for them here. ::)If you travel interstate you should be able to pick up a few in tackle shops near Trout fishing areas. ;)Previous PB was 61cm.Unknown weight.It may take awhile to beat this fish but you never know.... :fishing:If you want a good chance to catch callop of this size close to Adelaide, i can only suggest you join SAFWAA. (see club forum) ;D ;DOnly joined last year and having a absolute ball of a time on the club dams. Great scenery,even greater fishing. ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
