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.

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

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

headed down to the Coorong with Jimbo today in SS Banga... ill make it short cause there will be video and a report but we ended up with 14 between us. biggest was 46cm by me but was good fun and good for our first time fishing there....good fun on 1000 size reels and 3lb leader

Specialty Meats 8a West Thebarton Rd Thebarton is the place you need.

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 are gun bait for whiting, but difficulty of collection, lack of supply and hence high price stops people from using them.If they were a decent price/bait and in regular supply they'd probably be used a lot more.The 'go to' bait is still cockles for most people, coz its what they know.But you know all this already from your previous study.I predict your user/potential customer survey will show that the average joe wouldn't have to foggiest on how to use worms effectively, they would then compare them to another bait like cockles, and you won't really gain much from the exercise.Even so, I reckon its a goer and you're going to do well from your venture. Even better that you are a local.

If it's good for angling, development, and local enterprise, there is no reason why Strikehook anglers wouldn't be keen to assist and support wholeheartedly!Let us know what you want, when you want it, and lets work together for mutual benefit!

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.

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 all over the place in the boat. Mission accomplished.That was pretty much it for the day, one of the crew had a little mishap that nearly saw them over the side and ended up with a cut up hand so we headed in.Was good fun being out there though, see the birds diving then when you get closer see the tuna smashing bait on the surface.. all the while 10 boats have seen the same thing and are all bearing down on the same spot lol
