A sunny Cup day meant getting out for a fish rather than be stuck home watching the races. . The flats were very crowded on race day. There were hordes and hordes of legal but smaller sizes Yellow Fin Whiting in the 25 to 29cm mark. They were a fish a cast for much of the day. But … Not the kind of horses I wanted to back. With so many little mugs about it was inevitable that the sly and the opportunistic would be out there ready to prey on them. . A sunny day on the sandflats is such a delight. The clear visibility and water clarity makes watching the passing parade

You can get anything printed on a reel in China These are the same as almost all the other silver sub $50 reels and likely from the same OEM factories with just minor cosmetic changes. One of the clues is the Daiwa air rotor style design.

I'd eat the small brobzies, Dust in fish seasoning and dry bake in a webber kettle. If to dry a flesh to cook nicely, spraylightly with canola oil... I'm salivating... just typing about it...

Nice work putting Bob in his place, clearly needed to have a lesson in manners, the upper gulf can be full of them this time of year, I've had up to half a dozen of the buggers between 3 to 7 foot visible circling in the burley (in the boat thankfully) at this same time of off Price. Bronzies around the 5-6 foot mark are 4 out of 5 times exceptional eating in my experience with a head and tail removed trunk of around a metre being ideal for turning into steaks and "fillets", Bob looked a little on the small side (tasty but soft v excellent texture but too much ammonia taste) and let's fa

Good for a cheap disposable reel I guess. Just like you need with a lot of wading fishing. Only a few dollarsat risk. However as I mostly repetitively lure cast these days that extra 50 - 100 grams is a killer for my R.S.I.

Reel servicing is getting expensive. Daiwa is currently $40 a service for standard reels and $70 for high end. They usually drop in new bearings at the first sign of wear at $10+ a bearing. I've paid over $100 a service each reel for my fancy reels. Recently I've been dabbling in the cheaper end of the market, especially for wading and kayak fishing. I've got 5+ years out of a pair of Kast King Sharky reels. They are not as smooth as Shimano or Daiwa but they have survived the saltwater and are still reasonably smooth. Ali Express also has some bargains and I'm sure the s

BCF stock them. I've only had a play instore and a look online. Similar to the low end Daiwa and Shimano. Solidly built but heavy. As entry level gear it will be fine. For high end ultralight lure fishing they might be abit heavy

Savage Gear reels?

I don't have the bag anymore as the material eventually broke down. The zip still held up with a freshwater rinse after each trip and some inox spray I got the zip from spotlight from memory and used a large sewing needle and pliers. It looked really ugly but did the job

I've previously used a large zip and stitched it on with some light mono. Did the job ok.

Spot On down in Mt Gambier had a heap of them when I was last down there in February. Might be worth giving them a call to see if they have any stock left.

Pretty keen on fishing the Euc. Especially during the spawn run. Taking the boat so il definitely be doing some dam missions.

Hi Rob. As long as you don't drop your pipe and your lighter still works, you should be fine

Caught this brown on fly Monday. Not the longest trout but one of the thickest I've caught. Put up a great fight too. 4lb leader, stonefly nymph.
