  1. Hey All, I know the 'Regatta' is currently on at WB as I've seen the signs well in advance. I tried to book my ticket for saturday and the 50 rec launches are already gone for saturday (all because of Recfish was this an option so thank you Ash). I have just been made aware that North Haven had some issues on the weekend and it was reported on by channel 7 (went away so was oblivious to this) . Since this is my second ramp option, what was the main reason for the hold ups? Is the regatta also taking up the NH ramp? Honestly, why do we do sh*t half assed in this state! Buil
  2. This is my favourite Jig too! I have 1 in a 3.0 the yellow/orange/pink shadow and 1 in the 3.5 blue/purple shadow. I had another 2 but lost them really early on. The dark red was my favourite At the time these were around $28 and I'm talking 8-10 years ago
  3. I would have closed it, did nothing, opened it on the actual opening date and pocketed the 5million Same thing really
  4. Well, where do I start. I managed to get out on the boat on Australia day and launch at the so called 'new and improved'. On the fishing front, it was very slow and didn't do well. But more importantly the ramp itself (I was curious to see what the improvements were). First of all, I couldn't believe my eyes that $5million was spent to 'upgrade' the ramp. On what?? To dig a few more deeper holes for the new pylons? Come on! To put on a steel capping to 3/4 of the the existing steel divider wall where sailing club boats launch? the pontoons were meant to go out
  5. With 15 days to go to their anticipated 're-opening', will they finish on time With moving of the inner breakwall over to do works, there seems to be plenty of room still for the sailing club. If they don't add a 3rd pontoon, it'll be a robbery.
  6. Well it has started. Just saw the trucks etc on the camera They've given themselves 12 weeks to rip up the old, dredge, install the new and extend the breakwater, pontoons etc... I can see this blowing out until after Christmas... https://www.dit.sa.gov.au/infrastructure/major_projects/westbeachboatramp
  7. And probably costs them about 500k a year to dredge it The sad thing is, I've seen 'new' drawings for an 'upgrade' recently. The only thing that I see changing is removing the old 'tyre grip' concrete slabs to new ones. It needs a massive overhaul! Needs to go deeper because at low tide around 11.30-1 in summer is horrendous (1 maybe 2 smaller boats dock only), a 3rd lane added and a massive breakwater with 1 entry / exit point. Something like this should happen I think. WEST BEACH.pdf
  8. Looks good. This needs to happen at West Beach Boat ramp all around the perimeter of the breakwater also. Gets people on the walk to their cars a lot quicker, meaning faster retrieval. Well, in theory anyway.
  9. Keyword there IF... These fingerlings will not reach sexual maturity for another 3-4 years. That's 3-4 years of avoiding predators, nets etc. So you're still relying on the 'original' stocks by the time the ban is lifted again.
  10. It's nice to hear we've acted swiftly to get the first step sorted with the fingerlings (just over 12 months) . expected this to be released just as the ban finished Hopefully our government can take a leaf out of the Vic book (in banning all commercial net fishing of Port Phillip Bay) and do something similar here in our gulfs and passages. Perhaps going one step further and ban long lining in these zones also. I don't have an issue with charters with in these zones, but maybe put a stricter limit especially to the larger snapper above 80cm. Maybe 2 fish max per boat above 80cm a
  11. I wish I could find them, let alone move away from them Assuming your fishing for KGW with the snapper by catch?
  12. haha well done Vogon. I did the same scientific method, but i was thinking my next guess was 107.
  13. Awesome! Thanks fellas. Well, reading between the lines , my second guess is..... 105
  14. i don't have face book so i haven't joined in on the guess. Looked you up on Instagram but you just have a location and no page First guess 100 even If its not valid, fair game
  15. Not saying i'm a pro, VERY far from it. But 6 years ago I caught my first 2 snapper in metro waters. The next 2 seasons were relatively consistent (at best maybe 25 fish). The past 3-4 years if we came back with 12 fish total, i'd say we'd be lucky (with the largest being a 2-3kg specimen). I've been saying it for many years, REC fishers have a very minor if not nothing to do with the demise of the fish stocks. Not all of us catch 1 let alone our limit when we go out. Not all of us have the big boats that can go out when the sea is average. The average REC fisher works 5-6
  16. i bet it wasn't worked on for 6 weeks and was completed in 2-3 days
  17. That buys them another 28 days
  18. Must have had a delay..... gone fishing
  19. I have 2 pairs of designated fishing spotters sunnies that i tried on and bought. If your using them for fishing mainly, try them on. at some stage, you'll look down into the water and if they are not a 'snug fit' you'll lose them at some stage. Bought my first pair atleast 6 years ago at Whitworths and the second pair, 3 years ago at the 4wd and boat show for 20% off. Virtually scratch resistant and cops salt water spray on a regular basis but after a clean, back to brand new. Sure, your looking at around $200 for a pair of sunnies but if you use them constantly, its a good in
  20. I wonder how the conversation went... If you exclude us from 2 new zones, let us rape the zone that has always been been off limits. oh ok deal!!!! Just ban all 3 zones and be done with it!! The pro's have screwed themselves, by over fishing from previous years and are now crying as there are no fish and cant make a 'living'! How serious are they about 'preserving the fish stocks for our grandchildren to catch one day'. Not that serious by the sounds of it.
  21. Hi David,

    I would love to take the opportunity to grab 3kilo worth of your sinkers.

    10x 30g

    24x 45g

    27x 60g

    I can come pick them up at Woodville West today after work if that suits?

     

  22. I have only used carp for crab bait before and my usual catch rate during peak time was not met and therefore, vowed never to use it again (this was probably due to the pro's raping the area but hey ). In terms of burley, i'd like to say no however, i dont make my own and have bought the 'burley blocks' from Ray & Annes and Tackleworld. I have some suspicion there would be traces of carp in them.
  23. This video is out of Victoria! It makes me sick to know that in Victoria, arguably the 2 most desired / targeted species in snapper and KGW, have a legal limit of 27cm at 28cm!!!! I dont understand how you could get that excited over a 28cm pinky. A 33cm whiting will fight harder than a 28cm pinky but anyway. I have no doubt you will catch them on Carp flesh. As others have said above, if snapper are hungry, they will eat anything I'm no snapper expert but have caught them on all sorts of baits; Silver whiting, tommies, KGW frames, mackeral, yacs, squid, pilchards, gar
  24. I saw this website along time ago. Is he still operating as the website and photo's are about 10years old?
