southie THE BANGA

Used coloured Gents years ago from AAron (sheldons baits) Were the Bees knees. Every Session used with them outfished people next to us using normal gents. Old fellas were getting shitty with us! Certainly not an newer concept...

Where did you hear that keenfisho? Tonics crap on everything else, period!, Does anyone know who originally made the brand spotters? Doug Phillips, who makes now tonics? Doug Phillips. Interested to know if you had glass lenses Southie or poly? Glass mate.. The only reason i bought them was because of the exact reason of Doug Phillips... I dont know maybe i just was unlucky but certainly wasn't impressed

I like that Idea.... I was hoping to go by the Theory Take only what I will use... However IF your on a hot session and run out of bait I'd Be spewing..

His redfin Spinnerbaits Catch trout

Okay so now i have my fishing mojo back and I am starting to broaden My Horizion again by Using "bait" Just Wondering What people do with there bait..... Usually I buy the bait I want and take it with me, but When I finish I can't be bothered taking it home so i Give it to someone around me or I just throw it away.. So how do you fishos combat this? I was thinking of buying bulk bait and then separating them into plastic takeaway containers and marking what it can be used for? What other methods have people used To store and take Bait when out fishing?

Yep As softy Said from the Brewery right through to the mouth through Henley Beach...

yeh mate there a beefy stick.... I dont do alot of beach fishing so no expert on beach gear but it cast well and seems to handle it

Thats why you Don't Post shit at 1am Haha my bad! As for spinnerbats Support your local for sure! There was a fella on here that made his own Not sure if he still does or not.... Pm Weaver good bloke and good spinners aswell.... Not sure If Tuckertime Lures Do spinnerbaits but they Specialise in Freshwater native fishing

hey Southie, which model did you get? 12ft 12-20kg one mate

I have only bought ebay fly reels and there not to bad. They serve there purpose (to hold line) In my opinion you can actually find a couple of decent reels for under $100 if do some research.. Heres a couple to consider. Shimamo cazna Daiwa laguna Abu garcia cardinal All well under $100 and feel not to bad for what they are.

Steve at let's go fishing on gulfview road. He was by far the cheapest by $40 down south

My personal opinion (only handled them instore) They feel ok... I have heard that they dont rate sinker wise very well.... Ive got myself a Penn Allegence... Nice bit of kit and only set me back $130 for a Graphite surf rod it's pretty ballsy..... Havent caught a fish on it yeh but casted well and handle weight and bait no dramas!

Spotters over Tonics for me.... i have a pair of tonics now and they are bad. I look after my sunnies and they are scratched to buggery. They dont clean well. Smear marks stay on there certainly not impressed. Im a landbased fisho and the glass polarized lenses are a winner for sure! Will be going back to spotters when someone has them on special....

So after Talking to a mate saying there was Heaps of Lightning around I made the Swift decision to Boost down to Porties Jetty and try to get some Lightning shots. Knowing full well that I was going to be in for a long night of waiting, as well as knowing I had to work the next day I wasn't going to miss out on the opportunity. So after sitting there waiting for nearly 3 hours It finally came close enough to get a few photos. The waiting and the lack of sleep was well worth it just showing by the pictures!

As Bjorn mentioned yorkes trip we smashed them when no one else got squat. We thought it was a fluke. A week later we went to rapid bay and same thing. Smashed them.

Cheers Mate!

So I took this Photo last weekend while we were out camping! Everything was too perfect not to try take a photo of it! This photo doesn't do it justice!!!

I made some homemade "Bread flies" made from both Styrofoam and sponge.... Ive noticed, especially when Kuerschie and I fish and we throw bread out for burley the carp go Straight for the Larger pieces of bread floating on the water, so i made my flies alot larger then conventional bread flies would be. So being bigger flies, I have been able to also cast them a fair distance with my spin gear! I haven't been able to fool one yet on em, but I haven't really put time and effort in trying!

Just put an order through with The Rod works for all the grips, reel seat, and sand spike for the rod! I will be running an 12' rear grip, deluxe reel seat, 10' foregrip and an rubber Winding checks! With an 180mm Sand spike.... For the Guides Ill be using the Fuji K series guides off the Broken Penn Prevail i got.... As for the Colour bindings Im looking at using Gold Thread unless I can find a unique colour that I like...

At the time being mate. I need to spend some cash on things for my salt creek trip in a few weeks. I will eventually get a US surf blank. Hopefully the Us dollar will increase by then hahahha

So I went and visited my Local Tackle store (Let's Go Fishin) and Went in to Buy a Surf Rod, aswell as getting a new surf rod on Order (wilson Mulloway) I also purchased a few new Goodies...... A wilson 12ft 6144 Blank, A Kilwell 7ft Blank, and A broken 12ft Penn Prevail with the full Guides in tact! All for................... $50 thats right $50 absolute Bargain! Im stoked! I cant wait to build the surf Rod up, Ill be using The prevail Guides on the 6144.... to give it a modern yet tough look and feel... Steves a great bloke and has some good Hidden Gems hiding! Plus his prices are ch

just a sticker..... Nothing that special but just got to wait for my supplier to fix his computer stuff up! but it will be worth the wait!

An important touch, it irritates me when factory rods don't come with one, really, how hard is it? I said the exact same thing mate! So now i know what im doing I bought a box of 35 hook keepers from mudhole! so will be putting them on rods thats for sure
