because other states have very different marine environments and fish stocks to SA perhaps?as far as I can see, our gulfs are fairly unique.The science seems fairly legit to me, especially for snapper. having more reefs is not going to increase numbers, just aggregate fish in know locations which will then increase fishing pressure.The snapper have a yearly run from way out in the open ocean somewhere, up the gulfs, they spawn, then bugger off back out into the deep blue yonder. they are migratory... so how are more reefs going to help anything? its not going to help them get jiggy with it...

fixed.have a look at this one more towards the end.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYQrZUu-PW8

been on a few trips in the slightly bigger 640.nice boats, big and roomy but no creature comforts, pure fishing workhorse.fairly stable, but I suppose that's simply because of their size.640 with 200yam 4 stroke pushes along at about 65-70kph at WOT. cruising speed about 50.very dry ride up front with plenty of protection, only ever got wet sitting up the back.

last time I cooked up some cockles, I had only purged them overnight using the suspended onion bag method... was like eating handfuls of sand :(previously I have purged them over about 24hrs and they were fine.what kind of timeframe do you suggest purging over Ranger? and do you use some kind of air pump to keep the water oxygenated? coz if you end up with a heap of dead ones, they really stink and I think start to kill the others.

Isn't that Marketing 101?Create the problem, offer the solution ;)"Sick and tired of blah! Well no more thanks to the amazing Thingymajig!... oh and we'll throw in some steak knives"in this case..."Sick and tired of getting sore arms from fighting huge fish all day long? Well no more thanks to the amazing Thingymajig!"

I always enjoy reading piratepom's reports.http://www.strikehook.com/forum/22-saltwater-fishing/248680-north-haven-gar-tommies-and-stshttp://www.strikehook.com/forum/22-saltwater-fishing/250727-a-few-gar-off-the-rocks

Its nothing secret, it appears on multiple lists. Probably just picking over some grounds that may get overlooked these days ;)http://www.strikehook.com/forum/5-general-fishing/76258-secret-spots?limit=15&start=45#86933

Converting because they are given in an old datum.If you enter a AGD66 mark in a GPS set on WGS84, it's going to be wrong.Likewise, if you enter a AGD66 or WGS66 mark into Google Earth (which uses WGS84), the position it gives you will be wrong.If a GPS unit can handle the datum in question, it can convert between them.

same as above.change settings on gps to WGS66, enter marks, change settings back to WGS84.

A mate of mine wants to have 'make it yourself' yiros for a party he's having, problem is the butchers around here don't seem to do large scale yiros meat for the spit...So where can I find a butcher that will sell me ready to go on the spit yiros meat? lamb and chicken.or is it better to get the cuts, marinate yourself etc?I have never done this before and neither has he, so any help would be much appreciated, place to get meat, any special marinades, methods etc.I'm sure a few of you have had the odd backyard yiros

Congrats finishing your PhD, now you just have to wait a year or so for your supervisor to sign it off, get it peer reviewed and do your changes etc then finally graduate sometime this decade You'll be signing letters with Dr before you know it :)Exactly which type of worm are you culturing?I only know of bloodworms, tubeworms, bungum worms and seaweed worms....and as far as I am aware you could call all of them 'sandworms'?If you are culturing bungums, I reckon you're onto a winner. And if you can do seaweed worms that's a whole new market. I'm sure Kelvin can help you find some ;)Bungums ar

Yeah thats a Kontiki, they use it to either drag out a long line, or to tow out a device that drops a long line after a while (less drag that way).Different to kite fishing... but same outcome.There's some cheapish setups herehttps://www.safeshop.co.nz/vshop/fishing/index.php

You fly a kite, then attach a 'drop line' to the kite line, then let out more kite line to take your baits out to sea.wait, then haul in your dropline and collect your fish.repeat.the kite stays up the whole time you are fishing.thats one way anyway.depending on the kite, the wind can be blowing straight down the beach and you can still get baits out by 'tacking' the kite to fly against the wind and head out to sea.

funny, I was just looking at this the other day.good way to get a big bait out... but I think they have more success in other countries where they effectively run a long line out (20+ hooks). a few videos on youtube of guys hauling in snapper after snapper on one line.I don't think there's anywhere to hire one, but they aren't too expensive, about $100 for a decent kite, then just run it out on a rod & reel.I haven't heard of or seen anyone in SA doing it, but I'd imagine they'd come into their own on the surf beaches, able to get a big bait out pretty far.There's also another method, call

Friend of mine runs an embroidery shop, I'll ask about general costs etc on polos and hats.BUT... there are online places where you can create your own designs etc... like cafepressHere's a black hoodie I just knocked up, you can edit it if you like etc.http://www.cafepress.com.au/cp/customize/product2.aspx?from=CustomDesigner&number=783334179Gets cheaper the more you order. Single one is $58 delivered.You can custom design shirts, hats etc even mugs and pens if you so wish.So one of you bright fellas could design some shirts and hoodies etc online, organise a group buy etc if you are real

Yeah the gear was majorly overkill, was using a saltiga combo, pretty sure the reel was a 6500 (30kg drag...) and the drag was set pretty tight. Fish was boatside in about 2 minutes flat.But I spose that's what you want when you haven't got your bag yet, just get them in as quick as possible so you can get onto the next. Once you've got your bag then the fun can begin. Not very often you can bring tuna home.btw.Fish was hooked on a rapala clackin' magnum in mackerel colour.The smaller fish was hooked on a black and blue skirt.

definitely been hanging to get out there for a crack, but to be honest ale... I think an 8kg snapper fought harder than this 16kg tuna.sure it was heavy to bring up, but there was just no fight in it at all.... a bit disappointing. it swam with the boat once hooked and just kinda gave up in the end.surely they're not all like that...

Headed out from Cape Jervis today (5:30am start) out to the Pages chasing tuna.Went with my neighbour, his son and his nephew. His nephew and I had not caught a tuna before so the first two fish were ours.Got out near the pages and saw a little runabout land two tuna, looked promising.Ended up being very slow and I had just laid down for a quick kip when one of the rods goes off... well I didn't get to fight that one, but it was a smallish one about 10kg.After another hour or so chasing birds and dodging boats, I was finally on well east of the Pages.Short time later a 16kg fish is bleeding al

Does not surprise me

bigger bait (like one of them tommies), bigger hooks.
