Thanks guys,Getting out there will be reward enough after 4 months with a bad back and not really moving to much. Thanks again for the info, watch this space for a report. :woohoo: Dame

Hi all,After some advice if I may, I have some friends that have never raked for crabs, and having done it only a couple of times myself, I am a bit of a novice.We have decided that we will give it a crack this weekend, I was hoping someone could tell me, is it a good time of year to be raking for crabs, do the beaches like Middle, Thompson, Parahm still fire like they used to (its been nearly 15 years since I have done this)Any help will be greatly received, and I will post a report on our adventure.ThanksDame

Great video Sambo, I felt like I was there with you, well until the upshort shot :woohoo: I had seen the pic but there was times I thought this is over aswell, what great patience and control mate.Well done again.Dame

Got mine yesterday in the post, made for the best bog in ages this morning

I think Kym (Finatic) has them for sale in his shop too, may be worth a call.Dame

Wicked, can't wait, this will be the first issue I don't pay for, got a subscription for Christmas from the in-laws, I think the missus was sick of getting the call "babe new issue is out duck down the newsagent for me please"Dame

Awesome pics Astroman, the 2nd is without a doubt an amazing shot.Dame

Cracker topic Jack.I was looking back over my fishing diaries the other week for something unrelated and noticed the mullies seem to play better on the dodge, or maybe just coincidence :whistle: :whistle: It may be the way to go I reckon, let us know what you end up doing and how you go, I might have to give my own theory a crack, I will let you know.Dame

Hey I agree Nanman, release it, I was more impressed at the control of catching a fish over 40 times the breaking strain. I for one have offen shot to early on smaller fish with bigger breaking strains, I posted not so much for a C&R v Kill debate as being impressed with the angler, even if you follow it with a boat, still a great angling effort.Dame

Hi all,Not sure if you have seen this article, but that would take a great amount of control.http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/now-thats-what-i-call-a-shark/story-fn7x8me2-1226114439198Dame

Dunlop Vollies are the way to go, when we fished the rocks and ledges in NSW everyone wore them. Cheap and plenty of grip.Dame

Ranger wrote: Only one flaw I can see in Captain Jim's thinking, is that the red line DOESN'T disappear as he suggests!YES, red is the first colour in the spectrum to drop out, but the line then appears as black, NOT invisible!As for colours of line, I use a flourocarbon leader which is almost invisible underwater, and I then choose a line in a hi-vis colour which is easy for ME to see, so that I can cast in close to structure, and watch for those subtle little takes which you just cant feel!Ranger,What flurocarbon do you use?Ninja

Great job Benny, We fished the lake on Saturday night, live baits for the one run, no fish landed.Once again good job mate.Damien

My understanding is that the tags are distributed Oz wide via NSW fisheries, I will happily be corrected if wrong, so my understanding is they are local caught fish, and tagged by local fisherman with the tags supplied from interstate.Damien

John,What an awesome trip.The report and pictures put me right there with you.Congrats on a few PB's and a great report.Dame

Holy Cr@p!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sorry i have no other words, that is insane

I have to agree, although I don't use them as much as I should, the Alvey is without a
