Yep and it works on my phone too. Must have been something to do with my tablet last night. Thanks for trying it for me.

Start and finish waypoints as shown on this google maps snip:

Could it be that my tablet ran out of memory or something and the automatic route function stopped at that point of the journey? When I checked this morning on my mobile phone installation the route appeared to work for the entire length of the journey, but last night on my tablet the route always terminated before the 2nd waypoint. I was experimenting late last night trying to create the route.

Just downloaded the paid version but having an issue creating a route from Mundoo ramp to Towatchery island. Automatic route stops halfway and states 'cannot traverse barrage' or something to that effect.

Cheers MrFish! I'd like to give plastics a go - I will have a look at what I have and get back to you (wifey buys me random stuff for gifts cos it looks pretty) . Can you be specific about the brand/model you used? Maybe I already have something similar. You meant 1/4 ounce jig heads?

Thanks but I'm having a hard time picturing that! I've never used ezyrigs either. Is this close to what you are saying which I found here: http://wp.fishingmonthly.com.au/2019/12/06/mulloway-we-will-fight-them-on-the-beaches/

Heading to coorong next weekend for first try in a boat. What rig should I use? Assuming the mulloway will be smallish but legal size. Will be using Pilchards I guess. No time for live bait. May give plastics a try but I'm a newby - so advice welcome.

If the low tide is not very low (1m) does that mean there will be no need to walk out as far? Ie. Will they be close to the car park where it is only a few inches deep?

Raking.

Is it doable? I've been invited to go crabbing tomorrow but I don't want to be the bearer of bad news explaining that the lack of tidal movement means not a good day for crabbing. But that is an assumption as I've only been twice in my life. Can you actually do ok crabbing on a dodge? The plan was to be there at 'low tide' which is around 9.30. There's minimal tidal movement with the 9.30 low being 1.0m and high tide at 5pm around 1.2m. does that mean the blue swimmers won't be swimming?! https://tides.willyweather.com.au/sa/adelaide/st-kilda.html

Cool. Actually I can see now how it could be a reflection. Sorry I mentioned it - you've done a great job. Now its my turn.

Nice job. I was interested because I have one to fix myself. But when I looked at the ceramic part of your recycled tip I noticed a notch in the ceramic. Where it is circled. Is that meant to be like that?

Yep that's all we found. I wanted to take the car on the sand and go a few kms toward the mouth but many were getting bogged. Ours is an Outback so not a proper 4wd hence we bailed. I'd be keen to know if there were decent sized ones to be had that we missed out on.

Heading there today. Any tips? Best tide?

Anyone know if these are fairly plentiful at the moment?

Thanks David!

I started this post a while back But I'm thinking about wimping out on the lack of facilities and that a caravan park with a neighboring productive beach may be a better option. Still tenting but like the idea of a hot shower and kitchen facilities! So please recommend likely camping grounds with facilities or caravan parks maybe on Yorks or the Fluerieu - and that have some fish producing beaches nearby. Cheers

I foubd western districts club and have sent an email.

Cheers. What clubs are there? I've never been a member of a fishing club but it's a good idea.

Thanks - I'll check them out.

Anyone aware of any organisations that take relatively inexperienced campers on beach fishing trips?

I'm going to do a camping trip with my son in December or Jan and was thinking Hillocks Drive. Is there much to be had at Hillocks / Butlers beach in the summer months? Are there other Yorks spots likely to have success on the fishing side of things? I gather not the best time of year for Salmon. Any other locations recommended for a camping/fishing trip that time of year? West coast is probably a bit far, but still on the radar.

I have one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shakespeare-Sigma-Supra-840-Long-Cast-Spinning-Reel/402396021424?hash=item5db0ac02b0:g:RZ4AAOSwMqtfSu3f that is missing the bail arm (just the wire bit, not the mechanisms). It is otherwise a decent reel. Anyone know where I can get such a thing or is it a matter of salvaging from another reel?
