Noz

Hi Noz,
My first thought would be Deep Creek, when I was  young and land based this was my favourite place. One trip me and my girlfriend at the time got about 4 and a half dozen 50 to 60 cm salmon off the rocks in about two hours, great memories.
 
@Brutus, hi, are they still having issues with tyres being spiked at Cape Elizabeth? It's a great place to fish there and a beautiful camping spot, it's a shame a small minority try and ruin it.

Haven’t heard any issues now for 6 months or more, hopefully the person landed on one of their own spikes and crawled under a bush to wither away

That's great news mate, it's a beautiful spot there and I've been wanting to go there for a weekend since I got my yak but there's just so many places I want to fish.

closer to town is Rapid Bay and it has a camp ground it has a guy that comes round to collect a small camping fee but i reckon if you set up late and left early  
Then you have the beach right there along side, with the Jetty 500mts away 
Just another option.........
 
Cheers Chuck

Appreciate all the tips mate, that's awesome.. really considering heading up there

If you got a trail bike heaps of beach riding and tracks behind the dunes. Once at the gap if you head north along the beach about 1/2 a km you will see a tin shed up in the dunes (nicknamed “camp crusty”).
It regularly used by campers and can be accessed by a track along the beach or behind the dunes.
Same thing if you keep head North up to Cape Elizabeth you will see another shack used for camping. Both are basic and sometimes quite crusty, but it’s a first come first served basis 

Noz, there are stacks of places up my way on Yorks.
You could head to the gap. There’s a camping ground right next to beach, long drop dunny, and good fishing off the beach for gars Crabs yellowfin squid etc....
 

The two blokes above have definitely covered a lot and give some good tips, so I would go by what they said definitely.
What I can say is that Squid are versatile in terms of tides, just make sure its more towards morning or more towards the afternoon, and even if its not, they're still available. They really are awesome fun and you don't have to spend much in catching them. Port Noarlunga Jetty is good, just cast out into the weed and retrieve out, use pinks, oranges and greens, or red and whites. Can be good fun for the kids also!

Thanks guys,
I'm stoked!
And a special thanks to AA Mobile Mechanic AKA Alan (Kidney Slapper)  for sponsoring the comp.

They do look the goods, they are super light with decent drags on them. When they were released at the Afta trade show they were apparently going to be around the $400 mark. 
The reel sizing is certainly smaller than Daiwas previous reels. For example an 3-6kg rod would usually take a 2500-3000 reel, however with the Sol rod it balances well with the 4000 sol purely because of the lightness of the reel.
But all in all they are certainly a tough reel on face value. Only down side i see with them is that They aren't compatible with the custom preject spools or RCS spools as they aren't Real four reels.
Ill probably end up getting a 2500 myself.

yeah, still married to one 

oooooh looks good bud.. im getting keener and keener with all these pictures!!

Storm Smash Shad
Best snook lure I have used. I have run a double clutch side by side and they usually draw more strikes. They are cheap if you shop around overseas.
I bought a heap from the US a few years ago when the dollar was high and got them for about $6 AUS.
 
Currently going for $5 US on various US sites. They usually go on sale down to $4 US every now and then. Shipping costs a bit though.
 
 

good luck and let us know how you go!
 

Are you planning on trolling behind the yak? Try any minnow profile shallow diving HBs around the 70-90mm mark, especially those that may look like a gar- shiny silver/blues/greens etc. Im not specifically familiar with them but some of the Savage Gear ones look ok, around $12 too.
Snook are schooling, so once you get a few hits in the same place it may be worth while to go more 'hands on' and switch over to SPs. Zman's are suitably tough for snook attacks, dont try to use Gulps!!  Something like 3.75 in Zman Streakz, 85-110mm Flickbaits. As mentioned, metals can be good too and cheap!

Halco sliced metal snook lure or any sliced metal lure. They should be pretty cheap.

Any Metal lure will be fine. 99% of Metal Lures you can get under 10 buxs.. Halco, Gorilla, Lazer are some of the brands to look at...

soft plastics..  and pretty much any hard body..  Green/silver/blue/red+white , when on they bite they are not really fussy..
 
and metal salmon lures are fine too. 

Fishing Techniques: Most snook are taken on lightly-weighted or un-weighted baits of whitebait, anchovy or pilchards on ganged hooks or single, long-shanked hooks. They also fall to fish flesh strips, small live baits and pieces of squid. These baits should be a lightly weighted and kept moving. A gentle jigging motion will often attract snook. Snook are also keen lure-takers and fall to slow-trolled spoons, jigs, feathers and minnows, particularly on weighted lines or behind paravanes. Eating Qualities: The snook is a very good to excellent table fish, much prized in southern waters. The fish's flesh is white, moist and sweet, although a little soft. Care should be taken not to bruise the meat, and all snook should be cleaned promptly after capture. 
 

yep, i agree itd be an anglerfish and archer seems to be on the money with the whitespotted anglerfish..

An ugly fish?
Unusual, but looks like a cousin to a stone fish. 
Bet it tasted great after being crumbed and shallow fried?
 

Been keen for this for awhile now!! Just gotta work out how to get down then ill be good to go.. 
Awesome that donations are going to such a good cause, hope its a ripper turnout!

for those who have never attended or seen an Onka Compa here ya go!
