catch-nun

can someone answer if the "groups" sections are popular??seems to take away from the general interaction on the forum if they are.am I wrong on this assumption?? or are we turning into a group of "Readers" (read Lurkers?)many fishing reports seem to go unanswered or get 1 or 2 replies.must discourage new members from getting more involved IMHOany opinions ???

I'd be using the natural background to enhance your photos Mickyj :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: ps. beach1 and beach2 west lakes doesn't show up on google nice going on the fly

the wife said there was a funny looking guy flicking away I thought it would have been you.catchsum always tags along and fishes from the shore when I take the canoe out. my canoe is a small double, not the kayak that was there.I throw my canoe in the back of my ford econovan (King's). very quick and easy to take out. quicker than putting your waders on I'm going out again early sun morning from the same place. If you are around, I'll give you a paddle and you will see what the attraction is about.

)mongrel) :laugh: definately pay's to give the locals space and go out of your way to respect their privacy. the first couple I came across, I had my rod in the holder.I said " it's funny, you're feeding them and I want to catch them"there no good to eat you know, the lady replied."everyone releases them nowadays. there's a lot here." was my response.there's a lot more around the corner was her quick reply a couple more pics to show what it's like down there.(double click and they enlarge)I took cindy around to the small reserve on delfin island to show the piece of paradise that I was crui

Felt a little awkward this morning. paddling around west lakes fishing for bream and go past local residents happily feeding their "pets"talk about feeling like a mongrel pulled the rod in a couple of times and casually went to the next pontoon.one couple had a full loaf of bread with the bream jumping out of the water for their feed.lucky the locals didn't come out 'till 10'ishfirst time that I have bothered to canoe around westlakes what a mug...fantastic sheltered water. will be back for many more sessions.

at least you caught something mickyi spent a couple of hours paddling opposite dotterel court. plenty of fish sighted, had 3 strikes but no hook-ups.

the wife used them today and caught 20 odd small'ish fish.bream,S/T, shitties and not sure of the other species.people fishing the same area were catching zilch using cockles/prawns. soaked 2 worms in saltwater for only 5 minutes before cutting theminto small pieces.flexible enough to bait the hook. still have 5 or 6 in the pack. just need to catch a decent size fish to prove they are a great bait.

an interesting assortment of fishing pics there snappermania..what was you watching out for in the bluey photo unusual way to catch the muddie. I have never tasted a mud crab, can you or mum describe the texture/ flavour ?? is it similar to a blue crab?

forgot to mention the 3 frames going during the presentations.made it very interesting to watch.

62 views on the vimeo stats so far chuck.I have just got off my throttled internet speed.another brilliant effort. best one yet.did you have the camera on a tripod for most of the footage??was like watching on tv.the only improvement I can see is smoothing the zooming. probably need top notch camera for that though?

holding back the tears reading this post Lucas.myself and rotten-ronnie lost our 41 yr young bro John in 2004 to heart failure.like you, we always remember the good times we shared. never forgotten, we include our John in our daily discussions.would have loved to have met your brother weaver. who would have looked after who ?????????????my bet is that your bro would have been your guardian angelRick

port parham is close to adelaide and has a free camping area alongside the beach.no fires allowed, but has some amenities.the social club is open sat nights for those not prepared.the crabs were not there this time last year, not sure about this year. a report from last yearhttp://www.strikehook.com/forum/42-metropolitan/25400-port-parham-crabs

well done on the catch SandyWhiting.looks like a great day out.was that your first snapper off the rocks?a good read and the pics look better in portrait mode.might be the way to go with the forum layout the way it is.

would be worth while making a visit to the fish factory on the corner of london rd and railway tce at mile end.I an pretty sure that they are even cheaper than the technice specials.rick

nope that was the 2008 comp I only sneaked a peak at the newsagent. I don't buy SA Angler, but was looking for the current wild coast

I have also lost a new phone and a $500 camera after getting dumped in my canoe by that last bloody wave.bloody port river fishing trawlers what's the first you do when back to shore?? see if they work not until after, do you realise NOT to turn on your camera/ phone.you are supposed to let them dry out completely before attempting to turn them on :S :S :S
