  1. Hi Paul I,ve only fished the lake for 6 months and the only signs i,ve seen state 6 metres...I ignore them and fish where i want anyway as i keep moving and am gone before the Chub guys show up. You must of been near the inlet as that is the only place i know they patrol because of persistant complaints from the residents.You can hardly blame them because almost every morning they have to clean up all the rubbish the fishing knobs leave in their yards etc.I have no doubt that the blokes that told you to move would of been full blown wankers and wannabe coppers and i also doubt that
  2. I will Paul,I saw a nice black R2S down the scene the other day {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif cheers brenton
  3. Yeah i know the bloke,and it was bigger than 40lb more like 40kg. cheers brenton
  4. I didn,t vote but fish at different times depending on what i,m fishing for.I like the late arvo,s for kg because that is when most of my patches fire also on the low in the middle of the day.Bream in the lake i,m an early morning fisher as thats when i,ve done best and night time in the Port.Snapper i fish during the day out wide and night time when i,m close off metro and early morning off hughes etc.Gar i like the morning outgoing tide and the same with crabs.Squid when the tide slows and S/Ts and Snook when ever i find them. cheers brenton
  5. I give my reels a light rinse after every trip and then loosen the drag to let them dry,my mates are the i,ll do it later as i don,t want to spray it group hence they never do it. {SMILIES_PATH}/rolleyes.gifI give a full service about every 6 months,infact i did my crap bream reel today(slade) when i put it back together it was shocking so i pulled it down again and rotated it half a turn ,bingo, smoooth as its ever gonna get.If they are a bit worn they have to be put back in the same position. cheers brenton
  6. Well done Luke ,i got my first S/P mully from there a couple of weeks ago and i was stoked as well.Have you lost any while you have been hunting them or is that the first you,ve hooked you reckon? cheers brenton
  7. Nice one Cal,I love a bit of a trout fish and have caught quite a few over the years locally but is my best isn,t close to that one.Haven,t caught any rainbows for a few years now though,used to catch a few but the browns seem to have taken over locally.I,m heading nth soon if i can get off my @#$%.. cheers brenton
  8. Cheers Butters,yeah i,ve heard there out there and those medium blueys are usually in better nick as well... cheers brenton
  9. They do eat the gulps but with all the other baits in the water i reckon the plastic would of come a very poor second,My favorite bait for the blueys is skippy but i,ve been real slack this year and haven,t even had a feed yet,i was going to go the other day but at this time of year they are often in poor condition so i,ll have to wait a while and maybe give the carp a go as bait. cheers brenton
  10. Well done guys,looks like a fun session on the s/ts and as for the mully well you can,t win them all.It was windy here last night what was it like on the water.. cheers brenton
  11. This is one from Ardrossan on whole tommie almost cracked the 30 but not quite {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif...I should of combed my hair {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif cheers brenton
  12. This is not my biggest drummer but its the only one i have a pic of , i caught it on 6lb out on the tyre reef(fought like the devil )and when i released it,it karked it hence the photo. cheers brenton
  13. Yeehaa Brooksey {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif a 46er on S/Ps i,ve been fishing the other end of the lake lately as the council seem to be hot on the southern end ATM,I reckon with the school hollies etc the residents have been driven mental and are up in arms...they do have a point though as that poor bloke has to fish bait packets etc out of his pool almost every day. cheers brenton
  14. When i,ve brined pillies before i just made a heavy brine solution in an old esky and stuck the whole lot in the freezer for about 3-5 days depending on the size of the pilchards.The brine is too salty to freeze and if the pillies take up the brine slowly they keep their plump appearance instead of shrinking.I still don,t like them that much as bait but they are good off the deep reefs.In the surf i still prefer fresh if you can get them because as they fall to pieces they add to the burley.If on a extended trip to the far west coast this is the exception because they turn to mush and the brin
  15. My best port mully is only 10kg from the Stones when there used to be a few there,Its been all downhill since but i,m going to target them on S/Ps in the new year...fingers crossed cheers brenton
  16. I,ve been having a blast on the plastics B/mullet sometimes favoring the S/Ps instead of a boat trip,mad i know but it is addictive as you know {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif Oh Yeah 42.25cm cheers brenton
  17. Cockles for me most of the time in metro,there are better baits such as worm and clickers but they too soft and imo aren,t worth the trouble.Also at times they prefer squid but only about 10% of the time,i also like a sandwich bait of a little bit of beaten squid with cockle on top. cheers brenton
  18. I use an eagle/lowrance and always found it brilliant,i also bought the mounting bracket for the boat for ease of use and wired it into a ciggie lighter plug and i dont disconnect the power lead from the back of the unit as those fiddly 5 pin plugs are too fragile. cheers brenton
  19. Hey Fred,nice fish and good luck in early Dec cheers brenton
  20. Hi Addict Just finished mincing myself, gee its a great job :roll: cheers brenton
