Guys, may be heading to Port Douglas next month for a few days and of course will look at wetting a line!! Anybody fished up there and have any recommendations? Obviously the options are many but I'm thinking a day charter somewhere(under $500)and I may also take a limited amount of gear with me for any casual flicks nearby if the time arises.Would like to hear if anybody has fished up there!!!!

understand all the above "freak" occurances, but lets admit it, most of the time we have to use the proven techniques, and there is even times when even a $40 top of the range jig wont get them to hit.squid = quick and easy feed / bait catching excercise, IMHO, it gets over thought way to often!!again, Ive seen pros clean up using $5 jigs and handlines, dont fathom how people spend $30 on a jig then get purpose built EGI outfits for them, its crazy!! They are just sacks of seaweed with th eod lunge when bringing them in!!

highly doubt it would've been the work of a professional fisherman, makes no sense that they would cut the heads of and leave them and then what? rock up to the market with headless mullies.....don't reckon soWould've been a rec filleting their catch on the water thinking it would make it harder to prove what they took if caught with fillets.Just saying that's all, by no means condoning the behaviour

They actually break the law to do so aswell!!! :woohoo: I reckon we should put a proposal in to get a round of the Kayak bream comp to be held in there, make for some good tv if its "flowing" nicely on the day

Sad times when we have to resort to fishing in effluent for a few fish,,,,,, :sick: :sick: Watching a few Kayakers in there would be entertaining but

Took the midget to St Kilda playground yesty arvo. I noticed a couple cars parked on the side of the main road (after you turn of Pt Wakefield) and saw a couple guys standing over looking what looks like a concrete drain , but they were fishing in it!!! Is this a spot X of sorts or what? Is there always water in that drain or just post some rain and most importantly, has anybody fished it and caught fish out of there?

Ripper!!! Im still a tunna virgin

Jack, spoon... Jimbo :ohmy: :ohmy: ..... :sick: .........

bloody miserable day to be out there jack ( sat morn )

No angling for this lil wog duck, take the Rotor for a spin 2moro arvo instead :woohoo: Good luck to all that are tho, and be sure to post reports!

was going to say the same, nice set of pins on her, luckly Im at work, no speakers

another spot x revealed!! oh no!!

Im a Mazda/Ford man..... :ohmy: wrong thread.... sorry :whistle:

I use windfinder all the time, its really good to quickly get an overview of what its looking like for the next week or so in your area. As it gets closer, I then start comparing it to BOM, and always take BOM over it, allthough I do find it to be pretty close. i like its 2hrly intervals and find it really acurate most of the time.I use Seabreeze to see tides quickly and easly but ignore its wind strength, its always wrong.I dont use Willy often, but when Ive compared its always very winder in real life than predicted.In summary, I use Windfinder to pick a "period" , then BOM to nail the exact

Exactly boyo, its an industrial area much like any other port that isn't exactly a pristine area, yet u can't fish there and the snapper hang around like garfish basking in the sun!!Don't reckon you'd see them do this at Vietch rd!!Amazing vid, that's for sure

Amazing footage! But that video is exactly what the pro no take zone brigade could use as ammunition for fish sanctuaries. Hate to say it, but those fish wouldn't be there in that way if we as recs or the pro sector was alowed to fish there

pm sent, cheer

Thats what we need!! another setup like that!! anybody know of a similair arrangement?

So you can sit for the exam at the show, just like at motor reg, and the tuition is what? listening to the presentations?

Notice they are saying there will be tuition and the chance to get ones boat licence at the show. Anybody have any further details on this?

Dont worry lads, the up coming marine parks off our coasts will preserve the fish stocks

yeh, who wouldve thought the japanese had a diffrent word for "squid jag":Being a master of the Egi is to be a master of the squid jig. Egi translated from Japanese into English basically means ‘squid lure’.^^taken from the berkley site
