    Bummer missing out on the Northbank there has been one fishing the same patch as me the past few weeks out wide on the tuna and I look on it with great envy it had a 300 yammie on the back and it was one hell of a nice fishing machine. I have returned the same time as him a couple of times and it was a quick boat in tough conditions and my boat is no slouch but I struggled to keep up with it and gave up trying Good luck with your search for your boat cheers snapps

    Check out the Aird X range 11 ball bearing and for the price ($104 - $118) are great value I have 2 @2500 1@3000 and 1@4000 of these reels and love em. The 4000 has caught tuna no issues the 3000 snapper and mulloway up to around the metre size and the 2500's are my whiting, bream reels. I also have 3 BG's a 4000, 4500, and a 5000 which are on my heavier tuna outfits and all of them have caught tuna up to 33kg and Ive found them faultless. I got the 5000 for $95 delivered from USA I got lucky one day looking at amazon and couldnt believe the price so I bought it and havent looked back sin

    @ Softy...at the moment I think I will be using them deep they are more effective I think as they say they pick up most of their fish on the sink but I have some light weight ones as well so I intend to use them eventually in some of my shallow spots cheers snapps

    So now I have an excuse to fish more because I am conducting research into the effectiveness of these new creations. Ive have them in 1/8 1/4 and 1/2oz sizes to cover different locations and tides I hope that my "GLIDES" work a treat cheers snapps

    This is something that I hope will give me the edge next time on the tuna. They reckon the fish are shy and that they have seen everything..........Not these

    Heres another version I reckon this one will smash the snapper as well in the water they really do pulse

    Hi I have always been an avid watcher of Big Angry Fish I really like the show, it has given a few ideas which I intend to try this year and see if the same techniques they use will work here in SA. I have taken the first step in one of those ideas and now have in my possession my versions of Nathan's famous skutes. I did not tie them but I have been bitten by the bug and already have some ideas on my own versions for different species and going to teach myself how to tie them it cant be that hard . I was fortunate to ask someone I have known for a while and here are what I pick

    Yeah I had heard that but surely the world doesnt have to suffer for the sake of a few carp crazy europeans Could you imagine doing it their way on say a tuna you would have to be able to wind backwards pretty quick cheers snapps

    Its still a mystery to me why reels have them in the first place in over 50 years of fishing I have never used the anti reverse switch on a spinning reel. To me its a useless addition to a reel that adds weight and serves no purpose. Im sure someone out there has an explanation for why we have them cheers snapps

    I had someone do the same to me on Breammaster some years back, he used pictures of my bream catches and even used one of mine for his avatar. I messaged him and had some fun asking him where he caught such great fish and the idiot messaged me back telling me all about his catches. I had some fun and let him dream on about the fish HE catches cheers snapps

    Just wondering how many are heading out tomorrow for a crack at getting a snapper for Christmas, I'll be out there trying, if you see the "TEAM SNAPPERHEAD" boat say hello there will be Strike Hookers on board cheers snapps

    Now I have got my new boat and suitable fishing gear I am hanging to get out and get me some Tuna Plus chase some Reds as well so if it all comes together be on the lookout for a smiling fisho cheers snapps

    Last time I fished there which was a few months ago I saw 5 flathead caught in a couple of hours so yes you can get them there. Mullet are also about as are the salmon trout at the mouth. Bream are there but not in the numbers they can be, but we still got a dozen or so. We have been using small crab pattern soft plastics successfully or the ever popular Zman motor oil grubs lately, you just have to get them in under the mangroves and in the structure. The mouth does dry up on a low tide but this weekend you might be able to get out and in ok. However I would stay in the creek as there are

    I went out in my Hobie and found a very co-operative school of salmon around the kilo size that kept me entertained for 3 or so hours until the fading light and a 3k paddle home had me leaving em biting. I ended up scaling back to a light 1-3kg rod and had a ball. I dont know how many I ended up getting and releasing but it certainly was what I needed to to finish my 4 weeks off......back to work tomorrow Chuck and I are going to go back next week and have a crack at them on fly. He has a new 6 weight rod that needs christening and I reckon this would be just the thing to do it I also g

    Here;s another one the right way round I hope cheers snapps

    Hi Guys Ive been giving the Hobie a work out again and thought that seeing I have stumbled onto a spot with a few decent salmon around I would show you another one that I just caught on my latest trip. I have been getting one or two every trip and in a creek they are one feisty fish and watching them tail walk with their gills flared only metres from you is the best thing to see, I absolutely love it I have been getting them on both soft plastic and un-weighted pillies with a few snapper up to 51cms as a bonus.The salmon I just caught fell to a pillie and kept me busy for nearly 10 mi

    A nice bit of footage mate and it did look cold; so well done on having a crack and getting a few cheers snapps
