As has been said young fella, you have to live and breathe fishing for awhile and then try and put all you have learned into practice over the next 12 months.Carp fishing is a good place to start as you can burley up an area and just wait for them to come along,this will help with getting your drag setting and knot tying up to scratch as they can test you out a bit.Then you can proceed to other species,i'd pick one then target them specifically until you get them consistantly then move on to others.The best tip i could give you is to use berley and if nothing happens after 1 hour move and try

Hi Kosams and welcome to S&H.there are still ropes under them bridges so maybe they still get a few anchovies under there at times. cheers brenton

sfs cavan has some crocka but not in that colour. cheers brenton

Not me Cal but i did lash out on one of the 7.2 raiders a little while ago and have christened it with my H/B pb etc love it for the money $90 at another sportfishing store.I did end up getting the Daiwa Coastal for the Hb mully thing and for $100 i love that as well.I must say that some of the off the shelf rods are brilliant for the money,no doubt not all agree but with 3 teeenages and a house to pay for i,m getting good value for money i reckon. cheers brenton

Mike Mangold won the gippsland ABT event in april using an Abu 802 so they can,t be too bad eh cheers brenton

Them duck look tasty enough to me,stick with it Micky or try that tip tonka gave you,they are still there cheers brenton

Only worth doing out of the boat or yak i reckon as you can get a plastic on the bottom from the shore. cheers brenton

Good stuff guys,so going on that i,d always use suspenders in W/Ls as there are very few snags etc,unless i was fishing the shallow edges cheers brenton

yeah i do.... but there seems to be a heap of floaters out there if suspenders are better,the only advantage i can think of with a floater is when its shallow or rocky and you can float over potential snags.As i said though i pretty new to all this.. cheers brenton

I know this topic may have been done before but since i,m getting into the lures a bit more i was wondering what your thoughts on floating vs suspending lures and i suppose sinkers are in there as wellToo me suspending seem alot more natural but i noticed that most of the bream lures are floaters,this would mean that any time you stalled your retrieve the lure would start to float back to the surface...is this a trigger for the bream to have a go or do most who use the floaters just keep up a steady retrieve with twitches etc so whether the lure is a floater or suspender doesn,t make any diff

Well this one wasn't so greedy as unfortunatea treble straight through the brain. cheers brenton

I just bought the Daiwa Coastal Tournament for the same job,its rated 10-17lb and is 7.6" for $100 i,m happy as Larry. cheers brenton

I reckon your the only one who thinks that was the intention of Sricks post fella. cheers brenton

That is a stonker Kingfisher cheers brenton

I reckon i might of gotten a bit too much sun this day as well cheers brenton

Having the gear semi frozen really helps but the job is still a pain in the arse,i prefer a machete on a wooden block for the chunky stuff and am lucky enough to have a mate with a commercial mincer that eats the stuff for breakfast. cheers brenton

Well thats a relief....I,m fishing my first winter for them and it is an educational and somewhat frustrating experience. cheers brenton

You do WHAT ????Realease cuttlefish. Shame on you Brenton, they taste better than squid by a country mile. Dont release them anymore, I implore you. Take them home in good condition and call me, I'll come get them from you.I like to release them because good king neptune looks after me,also they are bloody messy and that ink sure does stick.....badluck fella cheers brenton

My mate in Darwin has been fishing for bream and doing pretty well but last week caught a bream with all yellow fins and a black outline on the tail,any idea what species chaps ?? cheers brenton

There are good ruggers around there and not too deep either(real silver ones) also my PB Kg came from that area at 55cm,great for big gar and squid also.All my catches from that area have come in summer. cheers brenton
