I use a "Nail Knot", and use the tool to do them... All my light gear, ie less than 15kg braid to fluoro, even my fly gear .. Small tight knot that goes through guides easily.. Doesn't take too much time to retie. SF

Wild Guess time .. Panko Crumbs Bran and Pollard Corn Curry Powder Pilchard Oil Aniseed Oil SF

Is this your Model Reel ?? IPB Cardinal 653 SF

Maybe burning or dumping fuel .... ??????? SF

Not "New on the Market" ..... 2015 1st release ... SSP Line Black Magic SF

Great Picture Meppstas Amazing Creatures !!!! SF

Just think Knackers, if you tied decent knots, you would NOT have seen this ....... SF

Very well put together video samboman !! Loved the ACTION.... A few boats in tight, in the last few seconds of the video ... Must have been a little Chaotic ? ? ? SF

Here is something that might fascinate a few .... Have a good look at this site ... Even some Australian ones' amongst them all ...... Shark Tracking SF

Do we have a link to these little contraptions .... Look very portable, and the picture on the hand held unit looked very clear !!! As brutus said, not only good for crabs, whiting, and i would say, snapper as well ...... !! Nice little video guys SF

Been watching the Ramp Cams this morning from very early this morning Been a very steady flow of boats out from Nth Haven O'Sullies Ramp Cam is Out of Action ..... West Beach is blurry to say the least, but not a lot has left from there, as compared to Nth Haven Looks like a LOT of People, taking a "Sickie" today ..... LOL SF

Always have to laugh, how the Media hypes up SHARKS !!!! Imagine if Spiders lived in the Ocean .... No one would go swimming !!!! LOL SF

Adrian, just goes to show you just how PRISTINE your waterways are !!! Just love your photography !!! I am still waiting for the release of your "Coffee Table Book" Thanks SF

VERY TASTY Critters !!! The Tails are very nice , very nice eating, just like crayfish, but just not a lot to go around, so a few more would do nicely .... SF

Usually best 2 days maximum, stored in a cool place .... no longer ... Should try and keep a note on the boat / even a sticker ..... "Remember the Salt water " .... SF

Well Done POOPS!!! Nice when you can SCORE great tackle like that for FREE .... That is going to look very nice on the boat now .... All you need to do now, is scales and ink all over the grips ... SF

Adrian, that is a HUGE difference in SAFE / UNSAFE ... Looks like it might be a while before it is safe to go back out 'wading' in your favourite rivers / creeks ... Going by the above chart ... is that 2.5 Giga Litres flowing ??? Is this due to the Snow run off, or just the huge amount of rains that you have been experiencing lately in Tassie ? SF

Gee Adrian, Don't those Trout go golden Brown when in that tannin water .. look very spectacular in the net shots .. Can't forget the Scenery shots, all I can say is WOW !!! That last shot in particular, would not surprise me if you got to see some elusive "Tassie Devils" in there Another great effort on the trout, and as usual spectacular scenery SF

That IS a LOT of Calamari right there ...... I did spy a bite mark near it's tip .... Probably mating time ..... reckon its dancing partner would have been just as BIG !!!! SF

I use that "Tackle Guard" as well , very good stuff .... light spray over the reel, and spray on a small rag, and wipe over as well ...... I also use light machine oil .. (Singer Sewing Machine Oil) .. very good for line rollers and handles ... cheap too .... Just remember that WD40 is not a LUBE .... it will eat grease !!!!! WD40 is a powerful solvent that dissolves lubes, so it should be used only to clean reel parts before applying lubes. Unfortunately a large number of people think it's a lube and that does a lot of harm. SF

Dylbaa This one from G-Loomis looks just about right ..... G.Loomis E6X 752 BS 6'3" 8-20lb Spin Rod On Special from online shop SneakyFisho , under $220 ..... Worth thinking about SF

Hate it when a tip goes, especially when you have not even caught a fish yet ....... Here's hoping you went down the easiest and cheapest way ..... hot melt glue and a new tip .... Yes, IF you are LUCKY, the manufacturer may have new spare sections, but it WILL cost you $$$$$ If you have to go "original", then spend the $$$ , keep the old section, fix it up later, and then you will have 2 rods with different actions SF

Adrian, very nice set up of web cams covering some of the Major Lakes. Also a very different account of weather conditions as well ... wind, rain and in some, sunshine .. Nice SF
