Skudded 0 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 So I'm hoping to head to Salt Creek this weekend for the night with a mate. I havent been down there for almost 10 years so any tips you can give me for what gear to use ect would be handy as.Usually when I goto Goolwa ill use a pilchard baited on 2 gang hooks with a sinker (the ones with prongs)I dont generally know..what to look for lol, so just pick a spot the dog can run wild without annoying others.How do I spot gutters ect??Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samantic01 0 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 DO NOT TAKE A DOG TO SALT CREEK!!!Firstly I dont think it is legal to do so but not certainSecondly there is a heavy baiting progrom down there so i can assure you if you take a dog it will not return You should use a standard paternoster rig ( google it ) with a grapnell sinker ( the ones with the prongs ) Many baits work down there, pillies, gar, mullet, youll even get fish on a hook loaded with a heap of cockles. It never hurts to burly either.If thinking of going over tea tree then stop at the shell servo at salties and ask if its open ( it was full of water a couple of weeks ago )When your on a surf beach you are looking for GUTTERS and TRENCHES to fish into, any where else you are waisting your time. Look for a discernable difference between waves ie there will be obvious spots where there is no WHITE on the wave or,FLAT sea compared to bigger or well formed waves. Again googleing may help you understand this better.This is where to plonk a lineThis time of year you will mostly get elephant shark and sambosOH, take plenty of warm clothes Good luck mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

samantic01 0 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Illegal or not, i know that here is heavy fox baiting occuring regulary in the area so you seriously could lose your dog to poison Quote Link to post Share on other sites

samantic01 0 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 No prob mate. My order of love...Dog, Football, Cricket, Kids, WifeId hate to see a dog poisened and I do love having my dog with me wherever I go.Did you work out the paternoster rig? Did you look up how to spot gutters? This knowledge is essential for successful surf fishing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
