just don't go too far down the beach...

I can see this being a good way to target salmon

Going through some old gear I found a few old Squid jags that have seen better days, so I tried to breathe new life into one of them. Quite happy how it came up and looking forward to getting it wet.

Shoot Kelvin a pm if he doesn't see/reply to this

Base of the mangroves under shade is good.
 
You want to be above the high water mark in an area that the weed had deposited and decomposed for a very long time. The worms will be on the sand right where the weed is starting to breakdown and can be 50cm or more deep down. If you are still digging through rotting weed you may not be deep enough, keep going down till you have nice cool sand layer and the worms should be right above. If no luck move down the beach 10m and dig again. Once you find one you can usually get heaps.

yep, works very well.You can buy carp slabs from tackle shops, or of course you can catch your own :)cray boats use a lot of carp for bait so I have heard.

http://www.regupol.com.au/au/products/sports-leisure/marine-applications/overview-marine-applications.phpapparently this stuff is the duck's guts... would imagine it'd be pricey though.its the same spongey stuff they use on some playgrounds etc these days instead of bark chips ;)stays dry, non slip, doesn't get too hot, its comfy underfoot and easy to clean etc.rubber mats, ute liners etc are the cheaper alternative, but they get hot and can get uncomfortable if fishing for a long time, especially if you are a barefoot fisherman.there are other grid pattern rubber floor options aswell, called vynalite or vynagrip. I would not go carpet at all.

Hey GuysThought I would report back on the weekend adventure. I decided to head out as I wanted to give the boat a run through its paces. It was closer to 2 meters as we got out in the middle and was slow going on the way out. Anything above about 18km per hour saw most of the boat leave the water and come crashing down. It took about 1 hour 20 min to cover the 24km. Was good fun but I wouldn't advise it if you back is even remotely bad. Turns out I have done all the bolts up tight enough as everything was where it was supposed to be when we got there . Once there I looked around on the sounder and after finding some promising signs I threw out the sea anchor and told the guys to get there rigs in the water. I was the only one smart enough to take a kwell before leaving so I was fine, the other guys however rejected my offer for the little pill and all told me adamantly before leaving (No I never get sea sick). Within about 2 min of focusing on attaching a rig and bait they were all ready to offer up burley :sick: .I ignored their dry reaching and got my line over. within about 2 min I had a hard hit from something and it went slack. I wound it in to find my mono leader had detached from the braid! :c I had a nice new reel and the guy at the tackle shop tied it on for me, his knot was obviously not quite up to par....This was the one fishing scenario I didn't take into account (this is my first real with braid), so i didn't have a backup reel. At that point the day went down hill. It took me 40min in the 2 meter seas to try and tie a new mono leader to the braid, attach a swivel and new rig, Most of the time it was impossible not to be holding on. In that 40min i also had to motor back over the spot to be back around the fish. The two guys who managed to get a line over didn't have enough weight to get to the bottom so weren't having any luck (they felt to crook to care about changing the setup despite my constant heckling).I got my new rig out for 2 more casts and in that time something took that tail clean off the new soft plastic. It was time to motor back over the spot or head in. I badly wanted to hook something but I was starting to feel sorry for everyone so I caved and we motored back. Heading with the following sea was much nicer than heading out, had the boat sitting around 45kph and we were back in under 30min. Was glad I headed out as I was able to put the boat through its paces and see what was and wasn't possible. Just spewing I didn't land a fish. Would I do it again....hell no, but i had a blast .Next time I'll wait till things are bellow 1 meter before giving it another crack.. Good to know there are some big ones out there though even in winter :-).

Shit of a jag be better if it had hooks

There's some real gold on the site if you dig tony (search) ;)Here's a good one.http://www.strikehook.com/forum/42-metropolitan/392-elly-sI'd suggest digging through the old posts, note the months of the year and approx locations etc, then maybe check the historical weather info for water temps etc.
