southie THE BANGA

:whistle: :whistle: :D :D :D

hmmm might have 2 try that peelin

i will go out rain hail lightning whatever but if the winds r howling its a no deal for me

my summer was alrght.. big bream from the onk to mullies down Ards... didnt get onto kingies... ill leave that to Port Augusta in winter... the times i had with blokes fishing though were priceless :D

i tend towards more sauries now as MM said and once they have all gone crap and mushy ill keep it all and make my own burley blocks and what not... as i work in a recycle depot i just grab all the tins and tubs and what not mix all my stuff together and chuck em in the freezer out in the shed

i usually buy pillies only when i hit the beach... other than that i use prawns fresh fillets of fish and im starting to create and make pudding baits for certain fish species... as its cheaper and can make in bulk....

i got my abu 6500 u can take of my hands

lol :whistle:

i love catching mullies have for a few years now.. neva caught a snapps...only because i dnt have a boat or had a chance to.. but one day i would love to catch a big RED.. but then i have caught kingies around the 8-10kg mark when i was a youngin and love that even more...i think they all hold a place in all fishos mind to tick off that checklist in your mind and those few fish would b on every fishos to catch list...

thatswat iwas trying to get at... dam these pain killers for my ankle hahaha

i use the rule of thumb of the length of my rod that im using but i think it varys depending on peoples liking and the set up they use etc... but general rule of thumb for me is the length of my rod will be the length of my leader..

ill ask my uncle and cousin as they both live down there.. keen fishos aswell. my uncle is an a class sparky on the tug boats and does all the fishing vessels and what not im sure hed hear some inside info.... ill let ya know what i can dig up..

good effort man...now to catch fish with em

and then we head to the mid price range of things... i use my wilson 4120 10'8 rod and then it is matched with a diawa emcast 6500 sport... spooled with 30lb platypus mono.this is my go to rod for alot of bigger fish. have caught mullies from ards jetty with it,have surfaced and stopped the BIG black ray there aswell with this, sambos over the west coast, heading over to salties in 2 weeks with a few fellas from here so will be interesting to see how she goes if i do get onto a decent fish...i also have a 12ft uglystick gold with a penn spinnfisher 850 and thats spooled with 30lb mono aswell..then i have an wilson 4120 OH matched with an abu 7000 and 30lb braid this is for lure casting metals and bait sihing for sambos...

2nd that

Welcome btw... gar will eat alot of things, gents, cockles, squid, fish flesh.... they especially love gar flesh... as for rigs it all depends on how finiky and hungry they are.. if they are hungry a normal pencil/burley float will do the job with a longish trace a split shot and size8-10 long shank hook... If they are finiky i prefer use a quill float with a split shot as it is alot lighter and easy for them to pull it down..As for the snapps i wouldnt know i dont have boat and dont get out enough in boats to say :D Gd luck...

rice flour with salt and pepper shallow fried or even pan fried awsome taste....

Hey bud to set you started on fishing around there all u really need is an 7-8ft General purpose combo that will cover alot of the fishinbg you will do around there.. as for rigs i usually use a float rig for tommys gar etc.. a panonoster ig for my whiting and bottom dwelling fish and then u have ur simple squid jags etc etc... You can buy these rigs already made up for a few dollars and all u need to do is connect them to a swivel.. You can catch tommies gar squid whiting rays sharks and all that jaz.. however i guess ur looking at just wanting to catch fish!!! well i hope this helps and if i could b of anymore assitance dont hesitate to ask

i reckon if the mully was lying straight it might of gotten .5 of a cm from that if u look at the pic it looks like the mully aint straight on the brag mat.. eitha way cracker fish... im guessin the onk???

i wear my spotters for everything... i even use em for safety glasses at work... as im always outside... and if i use those bolloe polarised sunnies i get headaches and what not... with the spotters it completly reflects the sun and since i work in a shed and outside its light enough that i dont have to take em off in the shed... Best 280 i invested in for my eyes as im prone to massive headaches and migrains

spotter for me cyote frames and the amber lenses i love em... i also have a pair of ugly fishes aswell... i had a pair of thunder spotters but cant find em nywhere

that politics for ya m8 unfortunantly.... however like i said in my post b4 it happens because no one takess it further and puts a PROPPER case to the government and minsiters... if u try well then u can say uve done everything u can... but theres no harm in putting ur case forward and showing your interest in it....

just looked on my facebook and Paul Worsteling from ifsih went out with Ash smith from arno bay charters... fish everywhere.... one photo of them holding a 35lb snapps and they were catching some on a ring spanner jig lol lol lol

aldinga beach you can 2 m8 myponga beach is not a far walk eitha

all i know is they bite... and they stick to your skin... when we pump down ardrossan always get em.... have had tried them for bait and didnt get a hit on em sooo... yeh but they do bite..
