  1. I don't think it would matter much. I agree with Luke, tuna oil will mask anything! I smoke, and still catch plenty of fish. So that's bollocks.BUT, i still wont put sunscreen on without using gloves.
  2. Some great shots. Love the first one.
  3. Always have a squid jig handy when fishing. You never know when one will show up.I fish a lot with unweighted half pilchards, and quite often a squid will grab it on the sink. A slow wind in with constant pressure will get it in close. Drop a jig down, pull out the pilchard, and bang one hooked squid. They get a taste of fish and will smash any jig you put in front of them.Sometimes one will follow a hooked fish up, and you can do the same.Also handy to have a teaser tommie under a float to help attract squid.Cook hot and fast with chilli, garlic, lime juice for a tasty meal.Great crumbed, bat

  5. Fantastic videos mate.Have you got any footage of Wallaroo Jetty? There's some structure down there that i keep losing fish on, and would like to know what it is.Cheers.Sam
  6. Around size 2 J hooks.Both should work. A guy today was getting them on cockles.
  7. Hi Hallows. We were out there this morning. Son(11yrs) got his first snook(58cm), and some salmon trout. Snook on a flick bait soft plastic, and the ST on pilchard pieces.I normally fish half pilchards unweighted or with a small ball sinker. And flick soft plastics.Try to fish either side of the tide changes. Be careful cos the end rocks go under water on tides over 2m. Plenty of seaweed to contend with, but well worth it when you catch some crackers like we did last year.
  8. Yep, salmon trout.They have a size limit, 21cm and bag limit too, 20.
  9. Great livies, shark bait, snapper bait.If i take them home, they get smoked, filleted and fried in butter, or salted to use for bait.They go mushy when frozen, hence the salting.
  10. Normally from 2-3 or 4 days after the new moon in the mentioned months. Outgoing tide at night.I'll be out to get some again this year. Either landbased, boat, or kayak.
  11. I've always done well at Renmark for Callop, Silvers, and catties. Near Lock 5.Find the shrimp, and catch the fish.Fish structure/snags, and where the water eddies back on it's self.Good luck.
  12. Well done on your PB snapper.Good fish.
  13. Plenty good spots to fish there still. Squid, tommies, snapper, snook, whiting, flathead, crabs.Never to be open i heard again. But ya never know.
  14. Fished a Northern SAFWAA Dam this morning with the son.Ended up catching and releasing 11 Callop to 37cm, 4 Silver Perch to 37cm, and one small catfish.Beautiful morning out fishing, nice and warm little very little wind.
  15. I still love my spotters. Not cheap but great sunnies. I got the glass lens ones and they are pretty much scratch proof. I'm just scared I'm going to lose them. HaHa
  16. I've seen people pumping at bower road end before. For clickers or worms?
  17. Some seem to have very dark stripes while other have very light stripes. Whether it is a colour variation or mood of the fish i don't know.I guess habitat plays a role but some does their mood(stressed etc).I do love the ones with very dark markings though. The fish in your pic looks a bit sick?
  18. Just love getting out in the wild. Ahhhh, the serenity.
  19. I love all types of fishing. Jetty, boat, yak, rocks, beach, river, impoundments. Lure and bait, haven't got into fly yet, but been thinking about it for a while. What makes it even more enjoyable, is taking my son with me and passing the knowledge i have accumulated over the years. Teaching him proper fish handling, catch and release, and the like. We love our lure fishing in dams for natives and redfin. He has been outfishing me for a few years now!!! Many more pics of fish he has caught, but i don't want him to get a big head.
  20. Yabbs will almost eat anything. I have caught them on apple cores and banana skins!Scored some nice sized yabbies few Mondays ago out Mid North way using squid, salmon trout frames, and slimy maks.I think if the yabbies are around, then pretty much anything works. Even dry dog and cat biscuits work.
  21. I have the same one as Just Me. Cheap and does the job.We ate some squid that i had vac sealed and froze for 11 months, tasted pretty good if you ask me.Just bought some more rolls of bags off ebay. $40 for 30m of bags, you can make the bags what ever size you want which is great.
  22. My biggest cod so far was caught last week in a SAFWAA Dam. She measured in at 72.5cm, didn't weigh her unfortunately, but would have been around 15lb or so.Just love the awesomeness of these iconic Australian fish.Now to catch one out of the Murray.
