Kelvin that's the esky live bait system I was talking about just wasn't sure where I'd seen it, damn good job!Tutty, I've been looking at those aerators too, found some on the BCF website.

Hey Jimbo I wouldn't mind seeing some pics if you don't mind uploading them. I've been thinking about setting up something like this recently. I've seen a few simple setups like a bucket with an aerator hung over the top and taped to the outside to an esky with tubes feeding through the sides for water inlet and outlet.Be interesting to see your setup.

Haha, Mulloway perhaps

Great photo mate! I think that's the mully I've been dreaming of

So how did everyone go?Me...Not having any experience with anything other than Bream decided ahhh bugger it let's just go down to the Port Noarlunga Jetty with my Mrs and old man and see what we catch, started at about 8am. Stayed there freezing and almost getting blown away (which is fine for fishing but not when your mrs has arthritis ) decided to go home after no bites for 2 hours.Disappointed with this we decided to go for a fish down good ol' Perry's Bend at about 8pm. My dad caught about 4 Bream just under legal 1 good size, I caught 5 under legal 1 just at 28cm. Oh yeah dad beat my PB by catching a 36cm Bream now there's competition.No Pirtek happiness just all round fishing fun with the family.

Hmmm Pirtek Fishing Challenge website is down :ohmy: Hope we get notified of the species we're after :PAny fishing tomorrow will be good fun anyway.

Just turned on the TV to tune in to one of my fishing fixes (YouFish) :woohoo: only to see "Suzan is Craft" hmmm...where are my fishing DVDsSome great shows on Channel 44 or C31 which ever one you watch. Has anyone ever made a SA fishing show that you know of?

Haha :laugh: yeah saw that a couple of weeks ago.Brent it just has a " at the end that shouldn't be there try: www.youtube.com/embed/U-D2kRXQOdI

Finally entered :woohoo: Happy fishing everyone

Very cool vid. Well done to you both :clap:Might have to look into some kind of fishing camera. My phone is a little too awkward while juggling the rod and I freak out every time I take a pic thinking I'll drop it in the drink.Good luck with that 1m Mully, I think we'll all have a party when that comes along, doesn't seem like it'll be too far away :woohoo:

I was down there late last night / early morning. I noticed the coppers doing a nice long lap of the car park I was thinking all sorts of mischief would go on down there. Maybe there is some truth to the story if the cops were patrolling, or do they always patrol down there...

I'm looking into setting up my own online fishing tackle shop. Let me tell you if you don't have a retail shop front good luck! So far all of the well known brands won't deal with me, simply because I don't have a shop front. I'm sure there are a few exceptions (proving themselves a worthy seller) but I would say that 99% of Australian online fishing stores are also retail, so you're not hurting the local guys much at all in that case. Overseas shops, yeah they have some influence as the Aussie suppliers definitely over inflate their prices.This being said, when I finally setup my online fishing tackle shop I will still go into the local shops myself. I'm not going to be able to source everything and the local knowledge and personal touch can't be beaten.While on this topic... What kind of gear do you and would you buy online? gotta get some research in here somewhere. Obviously reels can be an online purchase and bait local :silly: Cheers

Not sure how iPhone and Android apps work but I know alot of Windows Phone 7 apps use Online maps, bing and google maps etc which are loaded dynamically not stored as far as I know. So every time you use them they would use data.Also depends how your phone gets it's GPS data. Different phones/apps get their data using different systems... Can be GPS or AGPS (Assisted GPS using data from phone networks). My dad's iPhone was cranking through his data with his AGPS app until he got a different app using standard GPS.As long as you know how your app gets its data you'll be right.

The apps I've been using use data, most weather and tide apps would. Fishing diary ones might use data if there is a GPS mark you can add or if it incorporates the tide, weather etc.

Found a handy simple and free weather app showing latest rain radar animation for WP7 might be handy for a few of us. Called "Rain?"There are other paid apps that would show this info but hey this is free

Nice info guys, I was about to start asking Mully questions

Excellent! I'm definitely going to grab myself one of those kits.Good job, let us know how they go with the fishies.

I've used this site a few times, just to giet a pic or two up here without having to download anything. http://www.imageoptimizer.net You can resize and also has some compression settings.

Hey when ya have some made up post some pics. I've been looking at getting one of those kits from those guys, would be good to see how they turn out.About to mould some snapper sinkers over the weekend, just grabbed the mould today. Love making my own fishing gear, great hobby and a lot of satisfaction when you use your own gear. So far I've been moulding ball and bean sinkers also keen to try my jig head mould.Good luck with the softies, I'll keep an eye out for some pics.b2f

:ohmy: Absolutely Insane!!!I guess that's the difference between fishing to survive and fishing to relax and enjoy.

Thanks for all of your thoughts. Well looks like glowing is the glo. I'm going to make up some glow in the dark jig heads, should be interesting to try out and compare with and without glow, what colors work etc.Cheers

Howdy, just wondering if glow in the dark stuff helps to attract fish? If anyone has tried glowing hooks, jig heads, soft and hard baits let me know. Also what species are attracted to glowing things, are there any known "best colours" for certain species.Cheers
