nifty

hell of a fish mate....seen it on tv last night getting landed.....must have been feeding up on pellets from the fish farm..... well done to the angler.its a pity that on another forum from new zealand that they bagging the fish and saying its a fake.....and also bagging australia, as they do.....news for the new zoolanders....." ive seen your snapper efforts on video.....getting excited about an "massive" 9kg fish isnt really that great.....you want a snapper? come to whyalla...a 9kg is cut up for berley"http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/fo ... PID=407250

got told about a mega snapper caught...no details but looking at the pic at work tonight.....said to reach 20kg and truely huge....if its for real i will post it up.

thanks mate

for the boat....ugly stick.from memory BWB1104 i think....matched to an ABU 7000the rocks......14ft snyder-glas 8 wrap matched to an ALVEY 650C.also have a 15 fotter as well.....its a one piece rod and has some power in it....if ever i was hunting really huge fish,this is the rod i would use.....i will break before it does.... old school but unbeatable...sometimes the simple things in life ARE the best....

im going to redo the thread on my snyder-glas soon...never done it before so could be a challenge...would love to have a fish in the rod....is there any books on how to do this sort of quality work?

A man after my own heart {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif....the old 650 Alvey, and Snyder Glas Surf Rod landed me many fish over the magical 20 pound from the stones around Whyalla.My biggest were 25,26,28 and 31 pound. Those were the days. and im still getting them from the rocks...just not black point anymore......only got a 3kg last year from there......

some solid fish here.....my biggest from boat..13.2kg and 1015mm...very skinnygood to see some old pics of fish caught from land...at a very good guess black point.if only they were still there,and i recognise a few pics are from whyalla..... and even better to see an old alvey.....you cant beat em....
