  1. Nothing to extreme.TLD25 with a Shimano AquaTip.
  2. Just got a new Shark set up, now have to decide what to fill it with. What is Everyone else running?I can see Braid being good to get extra line capacity on the reel, tho the only downside is if i rub on reefs etc. Or is it worth losing line capacity and go mono for extra strength?99% of the time it will be Metro and Yorkes Jettys.
  3. The old bone handle knifes are great, can not beat them once sharpened correctly.. and they stay sharp too!!
  4. 2nd story in.. Snapper, with video...My bandwidth is going to cop a flogging i think....
  5. Just registed and having a browse now, Looks good...Good way to pass the time when i cant get out fishing lol
  6. I can see how the gulp "fishing imitation" plastics would work, but dunno about these gents..Couple i put a couple of twigs in the gulp juice then on my hook and catch fish??

    new reel

    I have the Diawa Exceller in a 2000 series, great reels, and bloody strong.. it's been thrashed and mistreated since day one, and still going strong.Check out the Diawa website, there is specs/pics on the bigger Excellers.
  8. Don't know to much about fly gear, but that reel is pretty sexy!
  9. If we are out fishing and come across someone with Del's bag.....Lets just say that person is going to have a VERY bad day.....
  10. Looks like an awesome trip... i mean honeymoon... :lol:Great report also!

    Squid jags

    I'd rather catch squid and use it as bait and have fun catching fish,then catch squid and eat it...

    Squid jags

    Never targeted squid that much, use to use those cheapies and had the same issue.. Now i have the good old red/white yozuri... works a treat, and no issues with cloth.
  13. Yep all my trays have the removable partitions, makes like so much easier when re-organising new lures to the collection.
  14. Tested the water today and mentioned i wouldn't mind going away over xmas/nye expecting to be told no chance... But to my surprise the boss replied with book it a.s.a.p and you will get it... So looks like im in.
  15. What i think Brenton is trying to say, if you change the settings in the unit that he suggested, you will be able to fit more digits in (the longer coordinates)
  16. Not sure if it is just me, but a 3-6kg rod sounds a bit overkill on Bream and YFW.
  17. First year chasing YFW...So agree Sambo, YFW on poppers for me. 40cm model would be fantastic.
  18. There is other people below you, i only did the top 20 as the rest of them had pretty much stopped tipping.
  19. The final results are in, turned into a close contest in the end, with 1pt separating the top 3 spots.Well done to everyone that stuck it out to the end, and i guess i better congratulate you graysy for beating me...... :pinch: Graysy 125 (864)Softy 124 (854)catchnun 123 (889)finatic 121 (967)ScaleyTom 120 (770)BRENT61 118 (780)ChuckTSeeker 118 (789)OLD SALTY 117 (810)MrsScaleyTom 117 (856)Little Fish 117 (889)Cweed 116 (873)monty 115 (801)Coonta Kinta 115 (962)snapps 114 (831)hullbilly 113 (699)Shark_Fisho 113 (790)RJ5023 112 (858)davidm#2 109 (962)moose 108 (803)dubs108 (864)

    BIOLINE

    Just come across this link and it is the first time i have heard of a biodegradable line.Anyone know much about it?http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/bass-fishing/2010/09/cermele-does-being-green-angler-mean-sacrificing-fish
  21. I use this cheap "sambo" brand ebay braid, great stuff and never let me down yet.. and only had a couple of wind knots in about 1.5yrs of using it..And agree with Scotty, i love Vanish fluro also.
  22. Launched off that ramp before.. doesn't seem that bad..
