Thats cool ive never seen one. Looks like cross between snook/mullet. Baracoota eyes.

Awesome

Bought a new toy today, look out snook

Thats it everyone has there own method its about finding whats right for you

U need to play around with the smoker and see how much heat it needs. Basically u want the smoke to be raging, but you dont want too much heat otherwise you will cook the tommies with heat before enough smoke has penetrated. Also they need to be brined between 12-24 hrs for flavour and to keep moisture. Once mine have finished i use a pastry brush and brush the flesh with dashi shoyu. A Japanese sauce. 

U could also moist your chips a little. Or add a big tray of ice cubes under you fish so your keeping them cold agian preventing them from cooking. Its one of those things you need to play around with. Maybe try one fish first and then go from there on how to take it. Basic brine recipe 

1ltr water 100 g salt 50 g sugar. 

Just double or triple recipe etc if need more. I do my brine in the esky outside and throw icebricks in to keep cold over night. 

Good luck. 

Good luck tomorrow Dave, im hoping for a feed of garfish tomorrow morning.

Hey mike, pitty no fish where landed, are you based around the st kilda area ? 

Probly take the boat out there in couple weeks. Have no idea of the area. 

Nice work territory, cant beat fresh YFW

Winds are going to be blowing a southerly tue/wed for myself, should be protected enough at pt hughes to get out. 

Fingers crossed

What a cracker day.. stuck at work all day in the kitchen, 

Did anyone manage to get out for a fish? 

Yes i normally have the same sort of luck and spook the fish but the water was little dirty and some good flow and managed to get behind him and present a decent cast.

Thats just a simple wooly bugger ive tied with some blue flash. 

Probly the hottest session ive had in this location actually. And i only did half my normal run as some rain come through.  Defently a bonus at this time of year with some water height. Come summer time and im on my hands and knees trying to get in range of the fish. 

Decided to dust off the sage x this morning (no dust on it),  and wet some flies, as the wheathers not appropriate for the boat. 

Probly 12 or so fish landed, alot of smaller fish that where all fun. All in great condition with fat bellys. And this 38cm horse, spotted from a high bank. Nothing better when it all goes too plan. 

No 4wd required ? 

Wouldnt mind getting down there soon for a session. Geez there expensive atm

Cant wait to get a feed of crabs soon.

Goodluck. 

I assumed it was braid to mono. Yes why bother!

I use it for fly fishing leaders/ bream whitting. Not the strongest leader knot but fast and effective 

Double uni ? If that slips, locked blood to locked blood. 

Id only use fg if using thick line. To prevent bulky knots rubbing rod guides and effecting my casting.

Its more of a general wash rather then removing stains. 

Thanks

the local diy charge in money ?

After having some heavy squid sessions on my new boat, the carpet has become dirty from ink and mud. 

How do you clean yours?                              I dont have a pressure cleaner. 

Good job, i thought it was on the full moons during the winter months. ? 

Theres some fat worms there..

Killer !! 

Any idea when they will become available 

Nice, 1 for the boat 1 for the car. Thanks bj 

Also that amount of marinate would probly be good for 500g of protein. Really coat your sliced meat for the dry process.
