Well recently I have had a bad run with reel parts and ordered some through a local shop. After waiting almost 4 weeks and being told that they will call when the parts are in I have lost patience and went looking online for a different solution.    
 
I came across this service from Shimano and gave them a call. They organised the parts and shipped them that day ( Overnight postage ).    So if you ever need parts for your Shimano reel and don't want to wait around twiddling your thumbs I recommend this.

An interesting read on the topic: http://www.ifs.tas.gov.au/publications/carp-baits-trial-1

This set up will catch you Carp, unfortunately  . Owner Mutu size 4 light circle hook with a small running sinker to the hook.
 

 
Good luck.

So I was lucky enough to get  a few crabs last time I went out.
 

 

 
Now although the crab limit has come down to 20, the number of family members in my household has halved too, to two, so that works out quite nicely. Blueys are the wifes favourite, which means I get forced to go fishing!!!. We usually have a feed with crusty bread and beers on the first night and then Singapore chilli crabs for the next night and if there's and left over after that I pick and pickle them.
 
This time we tried a few other recipes and had crab four ways over four nights.
 
The standard, and my absolute favourite.
 

 
Singapore Chilli crab looking good.
 

 
Goan Crab curry. Not the best pic' but this was fantastic.
 

 
And last Crab Chowder, yummo.
 

 
The Bluey, bloody beautiful!  Cheers

Mate called up recently while I was off work and said he was going for a snorkel in Lincoln national park so I joined the fun found a nice little bay and hit the water was only in 10 minutes and come across a lovely scallop bed we both got a great feed as well as acouple of blueys each had a couple of beers chilling in the esky when we got out to top the arvo off
